What color in the BRAG Rating System indicates a non-mission capable status?

In the BRAG Rating System, the color that indicates a non-mission capable status is black. This color signifies that the asset or equipment in question is not available for operations due to a lack of capability, which may be due to maintenance issues, lack of personnel, or other systemic failures. The use of black to denote a complete lack of operational capability highlights the criticality of addressing whatever issues are preventing the asset from being mission-ready.

Understanding the other colors in the BRAG Rating System can also provide context. Green typically indicates that an asset is fully mission-capable, while amber often represents a partial mission capability, suggesting that there might be limitations or conditions affecting operations. Red is usually associated with a critical state that may require immediate attention but does not indicate an absolute non-capability like black does.
