What is the primary purpose of the ARMS/PRDA system?

• A. To review and display DVR and other personnel records
• B. To track fitness tests
• C. To schedule leave
• D. To manage payroll

Answer: (C)

Managing leave and personnel availability is what ARMS/PRDA is built to do. It provides a centralized way to submit, approve, and track leave requests, keep accurate leave balances, and show who will be unavailable, so units can maintain proper staffing and mission readiness. While you might see some personnel information in the system, its main role is leave management and readiness data, not payroll processing, fitness tracking, or serving primarily as a records display tool.
