We analyzed military readiness data contained in the Department of Defense’s (DOD) Status of Resources and Training System (SORTS) to determine if the data showed significant changes in readiness since 1990—a year of peak readiness. This report provides readiness information for the four military services. Specifically, it (1) summarizes the reported overall readiness status of all military units from January 1, 1990, to March 31, 1995; (2) assesses readiness trends of selected units from each service for the same period, and, where applicable, discusses reported readiness problems experienced throughout a service and by the selected units; and (3) explains significant changes in reported readiness of the selected units. On August 31, 1995, we briefed the Subcommittee on Military Readiness, House Committee on National Security, staff on the results of our work. This report summarizes the information we presented in that briefing. SORTS is DOD’s automated reporting system that identifies the current level Background of selected resources and training status of a unit—that is, its ability to undertake its wartime mission.
