DEFENSE READINESS
REPORTING SYSTEM –
MARINE CORPS (DRRS-MC)
Description
The DRRS is the next-generation Marine Corps
authoritative data systems for force readiness reporting.
The Marine Corps began development of DRRS-
MC in April 2009 to function as part of the DRRS
Enterprise (DRRS-E), a collection of approved hardware
and software components culminating in a DoDwide
web-based user interface. Similar to DRRS-Army
and DRRS Navy, DRRS-MC merges resource-based
(personnel, equipment supply, equipment condition,
training) and Mission Essential Task (MET)-based

and its assigned missions. DRRS-MC allows users to
view current and historical readiness information using
graphical user interface screens to efficiently display
readiness information. DRRS-MC is designed as
an executive information system that begins at a summary
level and allows a “drill-down” view capability to
access detailed readiness information.
Program Status
The Marine Corps went “live” with DRRS-MC on
April 30, 2010 with the fielding of the Net-centric User
Status Report application. This application enabled
unit commanders to submit readiness reports containing
both resource data and mission assessments.
The DRRS-MC business intelligence tool, the Marine
Readiness Management Output Tool, was fielded at
the end of FY 2010 and enables Marine Expeditionary
Forces, Marine Corps Forces (MARFORs), and
HQMC to assess force readiness with greater clarity.
The DRRS-MC business intelligence tool is undergoing
a significant series of functional enhancements to
further meet requirements of the user community. In
November 2012, the USMC fielded an Enterprise Messaging
web-service capability in DRRS-MC, allowing
USMC Mission Assessments and Resource data to be
consumed by the DRRS-E. This new capability enables
senior DoD leadership, including Combatant Commanders,
to view and consume USMC readiness data.
DRRS-MC is expected to reach full operational capability
in FY 2014.
MEDICAL READINESS REPORTING
SYSTEM (MRRS)
Description
The MRRS is the Individual Medical Readiness
(IMR) reporting system for the Marine Corps. MRRS
effectively standardizes the reporting of IMR and
deployment health. It collects, tracks, and reports
individual medical/dental readiness for both the
