undeployable
Not ready yet
Undeployable describes something—typically military personnel, software, or equipment—that cannot be sent into active use or operation.
A soldier may be undeployable due to injury or medical condition; code may be undeployable because it hasn't passed testing.
Three members of the unit were classified as undeployable.
The word implies readiness standards that haven't been met.
