Description
To assist with Mission Scheduling, the Resource Manager requires access to DPAS M&U>Dispatch A/U to add a Dispatch Request to meet mission. There is no workaround with current roles. Roles either give too much or too little functionality. The M&U Officer/Dispatch Officer are not involved in process until Dispatch Issued.

Recommended
Request Resource Manager Role (to be expanded with DPAS Scheduler) that will allow:
Equipment Pool Selection
Basic Tab:
  Dispatch Status Code: RQ - Requested (only) 
  Dispatch Category/Sub Category selection 
  Est Issue/Return Dt/Tm
  Dispatch Purpose 
  Dispatched To
Customer Tab:  All

Mission Critical
Mission Critical - the Resource Manager is responsible for initially identifying the platforms to meet mission and ensure costing is accurately established.

Benefits
Accurately establishes future Dispatch request which will reduce Dispatch issue time and ensure vehicle availability.
