### Project 774 — Defense Readiness Reporting System (DRRS)

This program supports the Defense Readiness Reporting System (DRRS), the comprehensive readiness reporting system for the Department of War mandated under Title 10 of U.S. Code. The system measures, in an objective, accurate, and timely manner, the capability of the armed forces to carry out the National Security Strategy prescribed by the President, as well as the defense planning guidance provided by the Secretary of War, and the NMS prescribed by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. DRRS hosts information and applications used to support the Geographic and Functional Combatant Commanders, the Services, Combat Support Agencies, the Joint Staff and the Office of the Secretary of War. DRRS is the evolution of readiness reporting to a more comprehensive system, better able to meet the Department’s current and future readiness information challenges.
