5.The Operational Army Reserve is units and capabilities from both operating and generating forces moving through a defined cycle toward an “AVAILABLE” period for utilization based on the Service and Component’s force generation model.
The Sustainable Readiness Process (SRP) and Operational Demand Model (ODM) provides the organizing and planning construct for the Sustainable Readiness Model (SRM) to provide predictable soldiers, leaders and staffs ready and trained forces that are adequately resourced in support of the Total Force requirements such as homeland defense, CONUS or OCONUS known and contingency demand or exercises.

6.Army Reserve Training Paths
Prepare: Building Readiness
Unit has manning equipping and other resources in place to build readiness to C2
C4/C3, T3/T4, Personnel and supply rating at P2/S2 if possible
Units that are not C2/C1.
Prepare: Limited
Deliberately not resourced with their personnel, equipment etc., limited or reduced resources
Unable to build readiness
C4/C3, variable PSRT
Prepare Transition
Unable to build readiness due to activities such as force structure changes or new equipment fielding
C4/C3; variable PSRT
PL
PB
PT
Ready:
Service retained or assigned units ready for immediate deployment
Unit is DA trained to C1 / C2. PSRT 1 goal
Example: Theater opening units and entry operations.
Mission: PTDO
An Assigned or Service Retained unit with a prepare to deploy order from SECDEF”
Normally trained to C1/C2 levels of DA readiness

Example: GRF, DCRF, C2CRE A/ B
Mission: Mission Allocated
An Allocated Assigned or Service Retained unit with orders from SECDEF
Trained to A1 and may have varied C level
Example: OIR, NRF, OSS, OFS
Mission: Assigned Forces Demand
