DRILL MANAGEMENT MODULE

Who has approval authority for ATP/RMP telecommuting for the Unit Commander?

Is there still a requirement to maintain printed drill/muster folders once a unit is using Drill Manager?

There is no requirement to maintain drill folders for drills processed using Drill Manager. However, the Muster Manager is required to retrieve, work, and maintain the Drills Certified not Exported report (PDF format) in command files for current plus two years.  Additionally, the Muster Official is required to retrieve, work, and maintain the following reports (PDF format) in command files for current plus two years:

(a) Drills Created but Never Mustered. This report identifies drills awaiting action (i.e., cancel the drill or make appropriate annotations to the muster sheet), and is required to be retrieved and worked weekly.

(b) Scheduled Drills. This report identifies trends such as utilization rates (drills scheduled vs. drills available) for the FY and is required to be retrieved and worked monthly.

(c) Drill Unit Summary. This report identifies which Marines are utilizing the different types of available drills, and is required to be retrieved and worked monthly.

Instructions for deleting a drill:
Delete Drill Instructions

There is an issue within DMM caused as a result of the web service not action dating the delete erroneous.  Until the DMM developers are able to get this fixed with the TSO Web Services the following is REQUIRED: 

Units that are amending a status that submitted a transaction to MCTFS (X to UA, X to EA, X to NS - require a deletion of the drill from MCTFS and EA to X, UA to X - require a deletion of the EA or UA as applicable) units will need to run the delete erroneous via UD MIPS and follow up with the corrected drills.   

Getting this fixed between DMM and Web Services is a priority after the QR2-2011. 

Amendments performed in DM to correct anything on a muster sheet need the following action: 

1.       Submit the amendment for certification.

2.       Certify the amendment.

3.       DO NOT export the amendment.  (until we get the change fixed the entries will just fail and they will need to annotate their DFR).

4.       Call the service desk to

 a.       have any EIOs and EINs changed  that are impacted by the change of status (EA to UA or UA to EA)

 b.      have any reports updated that are impacted by the change of status (EA to UA or UA to EA)

5.       Any change that would normally require a delete erroneous must be run by the unit via UD/MIPs

 a.       X to UA, X to EA, X to NS - require a deletion of the drill from MCTFS

 b.      EA to X, UA to X - require a deletion of the EA or UA as applicable

6.       Any change that would normally require a corrected entry must be run by the unit via UD/MIPs

 a.       X to UA, X to EA - run the UA or EA action dated after the delete entry

 b.      EA to X, UA to X - run the drill action dated after the delete entry
