The "relative readiness" graph in the above link makes it clear that readiness steadily decreases during those 3 months. This further decreases the difference between the 7~10 days availability for 3 months that is standard, and the new orders for 4 day availability

Carl, the article you quoted cites "7-10 days in an emergency," not as a standard. And however you spin it, ordering "the Navy to have the vessels ready to sail to the seas around Iraq within 96 hours after a certain date," is an order for an increase of readiness, not a decrease.
