Adjutant General Basic Officer Leadership Course B

Advance Sheet for Lesson PP17

Commander’s Unit Status Report (USR)

1.  SCOPE

As a human resources professional, one of your duties is to prepare or consolidate the Commander’s Unit Stats Report (USR). You must be able to complete, proof and consolidate USR information and submit this information to your higher headquarters. Although, NETUSR is an automated system that computes the percentages, you must understand the entire USR process in order to provide sound recommendations to your commander. In addition, you must ensure that DA gets the most accurate information possible. At the Office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (OJCS) and Headquarters, Department of the Army (HQDA) level, the USR identifies trends, indicates Army status, and helps leaders make decisions on how to allocate resources. Changing numbers to make the unit look better does not help achieve this mission or obtain needed resources.

As a result of this lesson, you should have a better understanding of the basic principles and reporting guidelines of the Commander’s Unit Status Report (USR), and be able to compute data for measuring the areas of USR.
