TODAY'S FOCUS


New ListServ for Stand-To! 

Stand-To! subscribers will now be receiving the daily Stand-To! by way of a
ListServ. ListServ enables a more efficient distribution method for sending
out Stand-To!. At this time, there are almost 10,000 subscribers to
Stand-To! and a solution had to be found in order to send Stand-To! out each
day with greater ease. The ListServ will enable subscribers to receive
Stand-To! in a way that will use far less space. 

This action has been taken in response to the concerns from many subscribers
regarding the very large email which was generated by Stand-To! in its
previous form. The new ListServ will enable readers to receive the daily
newsletter without the space concerns on their computers.

Once you receive Stand-To! from the new email address, which is
Stand-To at www.lists.army.mil, you need not perform any further action. The
earlier email you received from the Stand-To! address supplies a link and
password that can be used to unsubscribe. The only change you will notice is
the different address in the "from" line. The formatting and content will
remain the same as it is now, and you should not experience any differences.


In the next few months, Stand-To! may have additional features added, but at
this time, the staff of Stand-To! is researching and testing new ways to
improve the quality of the publication and the delivery methods. Suggestions
and feedback are helpful are always encouraged.

Your patience and continued support of Stand-To! is appreciated.



INFORMATION YOU CAN USE


Loss Reporting Automation System 

The Army Combat Readiness Center (CRC) has become a knowledge center for all
losses, whether they occur in combat, by accident, or by other means. 

The CRC developed the Army's Loss Reporting Automation System (LRAS) as a
"system of systems" designed to provide an Army-level structure for
collecting and reporting all loss information. LRAS is comprised of three
sub-components; the Accident Reporting Automation System (ARAS), the Combat
Reporting Automation System (CRAS), and the Other Reporting Automation
System (ORAS).

CRAS is an online automation tool collecting all combat loss from combatant
commanders, staff, and safety professionals.This loss information will be
used at the Army-level to develop long-term predictive analysis tools that
fully implement Composite Risk Management.

ORAS, similar to ARAS and CRAS, collects and reports loss information from
other agencies, such as Medical Command and the Judge Advocate General. 

Additionally, the CRC has developed "initial notification" tools for LRAS.
The initial notification reports allow the CRC to provide Preliminary Loss
Reports (PLR) back to the Army, assign investigation teams, and begin the
analysis process in order to help prevent future loss.

LRAS will continue to have a significant impact on the way the Army
collects, analyzes, and uses loss report data for the prevention of future
loss. ARAS, CRAS, and ORAS are designed to be the pillars of the Combat
Readiness Center's mission as a knowledge center for all loss. When fully
developed, LRAS will provide the Army with an accurate reporting system,
integrated with the Army's automation processes, which collects data on
loss, as well as near miss information, in order to link predictive analysis
and loss prevention.
