What does the status "Out of service" indicate?

The status "Out of service" indicates that the unit is currently not operational, meaning it cannot be dispatched for any tasks or missions. This designation typically implies that the unit is experiencing mechanical issues, undergoing maintenance, or is otherwise unavailable for active duty.

Having a clear understanding of this status is crucial for effective dispatch management, as it helps avoid assigning units that aren’t ready to respond. In contrast, the other statuses such as being available for dispatch, engaged in a specific operation, or in a training session signify that the units are indeed operational and can be utilized for their intended purposes. Recognizing the significance of the "Out of service" status helps ensure that operational efficiency is maintained and that resources are effectively allocated within the dispatch system.
