HQ RIO Guidance on Standards and Readiness Reviews for IRs

  • Published
  • By HQ RIO

This guidance memorandum provides guidance to IRs on participation in Standards and Readiness Reviews (SRRs).  An SRR is a focused assessment conducted at the unit level to identify and address factors inhibiting mission readiness and execution. This assessment includes consideration of mental and physical health, fitness, ensuring appropriate documentation of applicable exceptions to policy, waivers and accommodations, deployment readiness, training, compliance with standards and overall resilience through direct, in-person engagement with all assigned Airmen.

HQ RIO recognizes the authority of AC organizations to determine the most effective methods for enabling IRs to participate in SRRs to meet their organization’s SRR requirements. Therefore, HQ RIO will not issue specific guidance to AC organizations regarding IR participation, allowing for tailored implementation through mission command principles.
