Analysis of the Current Air Force-Specific Status of Resources and Training System (SORTS) Reporting System

The status of resources and training system (SORTS) is a process that measures the health of units and wings in day-to-day preparedness and the ability to execute a major theater war or other scenario envisioned in the national security strategy. With talk of the current reporting system not accurately reflecting units readiness, it is time to evaluate the system to identify key problems and re-design the process to better reflect units capabilities. The objective of this thesis was to inform Air Force leadership of the current state of the SORTS system to ensure it was adequate. By surveying current MAJCOM, Wing, Group, and Squadron leadership on their interpretations of how the system works, this thesis will determine if there are common problems that key users have encountered.Air Force Inst of Tech Wright-Patterson AFB OH School of Engineering and Management is the author of 'Analysis of the Current Air Force-Specific Status of Resources and Training System (SORTS) Reporting System', published 2004 under ISBN 9781423516910 and ISBN 1423516915.
