  2. Equipment and Supplies On-Hand (S)
  3. Equipment Condition (R)
  4. Training of assigned personnel (T)

P/S/R/T

3.1

53
Q

What are Category Levels (C-Levels)?

A

C-Levels reflect the degree to which unit resources
meet prescribed levels of P, S, R, and T.

3.3

54
Q

What is Category Level: C-1?

A

C-1. The unit possesses the required manpower, resources, and is trained to undertake the full mission(s) for which it is organized or designed. The resource and training area
status will neither limit flexibility and methods for mission accomplishment nor increase vulnerability of unit personnel and equipment. The unit does not require any compensation
for any deficiencies.

3.3.1

55
Q

What is Category Level: C-2?

A

C-2. The unit possesses the required manpower, resources and is trained to undertake most of the mission(s) for which it is organized or designed. The resource and training area
status may cause isolated decreases in flexibility in methods for mission accomplishment, but will not increase the unit’s vulnerability under most envisioned operational scenarios. The unit would require little, if any, compensation for deficiencies.

3.3.2

56
Q

What is Category Level: C-3?

A

C-3. The unit possesses the required manpower, resources and is trained to undertake many, but not all, portions of the mission(s) for which it is organized or designed. The
resource and training area status will result in significant decrease in flexibility for mission accomplishment and will increase vulnerability of the unit under many, but not all,
envisioned operational scenarios. The unit would require significant compensation for deficiencies.

3.3.3

57
Q

What is Category Level: C-4?

A

C-4. The unit requires additional manpower, resources or training to undertake its mission(s), but it may be directed to undertake portions of its mission(s) with resources on-hand.

3.3.4

58
Q

What is Category Level: C-5?

A

C-5. The unit is undergoing a Service-directed resource action and is not prepared, at this time, to undertake the mission set for which it is organized or designed.

3.3.5

59
Q

What is Category Level: P-/S-/R-/T-6?

A

P-/S-/R-/T-6. The unit is not required to measure in a specified area.

3.3.6

60
Q

Normally, how should the overall C-Level be determined?

A

Normally, the lowest level of the four measured resource areas is reported as the Overall C-Level provided it is a realistic indication of the unit’s readiness (based on the C-Level definitions).

3.3.7

61
Q

If the lowest measured area level is not a realistic indication of the unit’s resource readiness, how can the overall C-Level be adjusted?

A

If the lowest measured area level is not a realistic indication of the unit’s resource readiness, commanders may only lower the overall C-Level and must provide a complete and detailed explanation of why it is being lowered in the REASN remark.

3.3.7

62
Q

True or False:

Commanders can assess up if the lowest measured area C-Level is not indicative of the the overall C-Level.

A

False; Commanders will not assess up.

3.3.7

63
Q

What steps should be taken (regarding C-Levels) for units receiving a Unit Effectiveness Inspection (UEI) overall rating of “INEFFECTIVE”?

A

Units receiving a Unit Effectiveness Inspection (UEI) overall rating of “INEFFECTIVE”, should lower their C-Level to a C-4 and provide remarks outlining deficiencies and resource improvement timetables.

3.3.7

64
Q

Generally, when is it necessary to provide rationale using the Overall Reason (REASN) remark label?

A

The commander will provide rationale using the Overall Reason (REASN) remark label, when the unit is less than C-1.

3.3.7

65
Q

In regards to Category-Levels, what are some personnel subjective factors to consider?

A
  • Availability of personnel who do not have the required critical AFSC.
  • Personnel turnover rates that impact mission accomplishment.
  • Unusually high number of personnel with Deployment Availability (DAV) codes, Deployment Limiting Codes (DLCs) or otherwise not available for deployment.
