Purpose

This Department of the Army pamphlet (DA Pam) explains and documents the basic Army strategic readiness assessment (ASRA) processes and general reporting procedures. This process includes determining, analyzing, assessing, and reporting Army strategic readiness in accordance with the three Joint Staff criteria (Joint Capability Areas (JCAs), Army plan assessment, and readiness deficiencies) and six Army strategic readiness tenets (manning, equipping, sustaining, training, installations, and capacity and capability). The ASRA prepares the analysis by criteria, key indicators, and measures and develops the assessment through the Strategic Readiness Assessment Group (SRAG). The ASRA is then delivered quarterly to the Army's senior leaders. While this publication explains and documents the basic processes and general procedures for assessing and analyzing Army strategic readiness, AR 525-30 is the authoritative publication for Army strategic readiness policy. Selected policy provisions that are established in AR 525-30 are replicated in this publication to enhance the utility of this publication to its intended users. However, in the event that any provisions in this DA Pam conflict with those in AR 525-30, the provisions in AR 525-30 will take precedence.

Applicability. This pamphlet applies to the Active Army, the Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States, and the U.S. Army Reserve, unless otherwise stated. Also, it applies to Department of the Army civilians.
