What does the Status of Requirement and Training Support (SORTS) report?

• A. The ship's status of condition of readiness in all welfare areas and our ability to conduct operations.
• B. The ship's fuel and ammunition inventory levels only.
• C. The crew's training schedule for the upcoming quarter.
• D. The ship's medical readiness status only.

Answer: (A)

SORTS provides a snapshot of a ship’s overall readiness by assessing the status of readiness across welfare areas and the ship’s ability to conduct operations. It reflects how well the crew and ship are prepared to perform missions right now, not just one narrow aspect. This isn’t about inventories like fuel or ammo, nor just a training schedule or medical readiness alone. It’s a holistic readout that signals deployment capability and any readiness shortfalls.
