MARINE CORPS ORDER 1001R.1L

From: Commandant of the Marine Corps

To: Distribution List

Subj: MARINE CORPS RESERVE ADMINISTRATIVE MANAGEMENT MANUAL (MCRAMM)

Encl: (1) References

(2) MCRAMM Policy and Procedural Guidance

1. Situation. The Reserve Component (RC) of the Marine Corps Total Force

provides trained units and qualified individuals to augment, reinforce, and

sustain the Active Component (AC) in times of war or national emergency, and

at such other times as the national security may require. This Order, in

conjunction with the references, establishes and codifies the policies and

responsibilities associated with the administration and management of Marine

Corps Reserve personnel.

2. Mission. To promulgate policy and procedural guidance for the management

and administration of the RC in order to maximize training and mobilization

readiness while reducing administrative burdens to the greatest extent

possible.

3. Execution

a. Commander’s Intent and Concept of Operations

(1) Commander’s Intent

(a) Maintain a single, streamlined, uniform system for

administratively managing the RC consistent with Marine Corps Total Force,

Department of the Navy (DON), and Department of Defense (DoD) policies.

(b) Provide guidance that serves as a tool for administrators

while maintaining commander’s flexibility to meet manpower requirements for

mission accomplishment.

(c) Provide guidance to individual Marines on the programs and

requirements associated with service in the Marine Corps RC.

(2) Concept of Operations. Establish policies, procedures, and

guidance to facilitate optimal access to the RC in support of Total Force

manpower management. Comply with this Order when administering the RC.

b. Subordinate Element Missions. The Commandant of the Marine Corps

(CMC) designates the following relationships between Headquarters Marine

Corps (HQMC) staff agencies and subordinate elements.

(1) The Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC)

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

2

(a) The RC of the Total Force is organized, administered,

trained, and equipped under the direction of the CMC.

(b) The Deputy Commandant for Manpower and Reserve

Affairs (DC M&RA) is the principal staff officer for Reserve manpower matters

and is directly responsible for the formulation of plans, policies, budget,

structure, and administration of the RC. This is accomplished through the

development and promulgation of unique policies, procedures, and guidance to

administer the RC within the Total Force construct.

1. The Director, Reserve Affairs Division (Dir RA) is the

principal advisor to the DC M&RA on all manpower matters pertaining to the

RC. The Dir RA is responsible for the formulation, administration, and

oversight of Reserve manpower management, plans, policies, and programming in

order to provide a balanced and affordable reserve force consisting of

manpower capabilities required to augment, reinforce, and sustain the AC.

2. The Director, Manpower Plans and Policy Division (Dir MP)

is responsible for promulgation and review of policies governing

mobilization/activation and the planning of the involuntary activation of the

Individual Ready Reserve (IRR). Per reference (a), DC M&RA is tasked with

exercising oversight of IRR musters and screening conducted by COMMARFORRES

(MCIRSA).

3. The Director, Manpower Management (Dir MM) is responsible

for the administration of Reserve general officer service records and the

sourcing of Reserve general officer activation requirements. Dir MM is

responsible for future manpower planning, active duty individual augmentation

(IA) coordination, and sourcing of individual Reserve assets in support of

Total Force manpower requirements during contingency operations.

(2) Non-Headquarters Marine Corps (Non-HQMC)

(a) Commander, Marine Forces Reserve (COMMARFORRES)

The COMMARFORRES commands 4th Marine Division (MarDiv), 4th Marine Logistics

Group (MLG), 4th Marine Aircraft Wing (MAW), and the Force Headquarters Group

(FHG). The COMMARFORRES maintains responsibility for subordinate command

staff functions integrated within the responsibilities of the MARFORRES

staff. The 4th MarDiv, 4th MLG, 4th MAW, and the FHG are considered Major

Subordinate Commands (MSCs) of MARFORRES. COMMARFORRES exercises

Administrative Control (ADCON) over members of the IRR and MTU program

(principally via the Director, Marine Corps Individual Reserve Support

Activity (Dir MCIRSA)). The COMMARFORRES is responsible for effecting

lateral coordination with the Commander, U.S. Marine Corps Forces Command

(COMMARFORCOM), and the Commander, Marine Corps Forces Pacific

(COMMARFORPAC), or such other AC commanders as may be appropriate for the

conduct of operations, exercises, and training.

1. Commanding Generals (CG), 4th MarDiv, 4th MLG, 4th MAW,

and FHG. The Commanding Generals, 4th MarDiv, 4th MLG, 4th MAW, and FHG

command their major subordinate elements and retain responsibility for those

staff functions not integrated into the MARFORRES staff.

2. Dir MCIRSA. The Marine Corps Individual Reserve Support

Activity (MCIRSA), which organizationally falls under the CG, FHG, provides

the actual day-to-day administration of the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR), a

responsibility delegated by the COMMARFORRES. The mission of MCIRSA is to

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

3

conduct continuous screening of Marines in the IRR to ensure mobilization

readiness in support of service requirements IAW ref (cg). oversee the

mobilization readiness of the IRR. MCIRSA accomplishes its mission by

conducting continuous engagement of IRR personnel IAW ref (ch). The primary

mission of MCIRSA is to improve the mobilization readiness of the RC by

providing the CMC pre-trained manpower resources upon activation. Under the

technical direction of DC M&RA, the COMMARFORRES/Dir MCIRSA maintains the

service records of IMAs, Standby Reserves, and IRRs and administers the

Individual Mobilization Augmentee (IMA)/Mobilization Training Unit (MTU)

programs. Administrative functions performed by MCIRSA include aspects of

assignment, reassignment, promotion, separation, personnel record keeping,

career development, and personnel training.

Note: DC M&RA, Manpower Management Separation and Retirement Branch (MMSR)

maintains the records of members of the Fleet Marine Corps Reserve (FMCR) and

retirees.

3. Inspector-Instructors (I-I)/Site Commanders/Active-Duty

Support. I-I/site commander/active-duty support personnel are active duty

Marines, both AC and Active Reserve (AR), who instruct and assist Selected

Marine Corps Reserve (SMCR) units to maintain a continuous state of readiness

for mobilization; inspect and render technical advice in command functions

including administration, logistical support, and public affairs; and execute

such collateral functions as may be directed by higher authority. The

majority of AC, AR, and Selected Reserve (SelRes) personnel are integrated

into a single chain of command that passes from individual units through the

appropriate MSC. These Marines may be subject to deployment with their

assigned unit in the event of mobilization.

4. Deployment Processing Centers Commands (DPC) / Reserve

Support Units (RSU) East and West. DPCs/RSUs Camp Lejeune, NC, and Camp

Pendleton, CA, are under the command of COMMARFORRES via the CG FHG.

DPCs/RSUs are staffed by AR and AC personnel to support and coordinate the

training of Reserve units and individuals as well as DoD civilians and

contractors. During mobilizations/activations the DPCs/RSUs may be augmented

with RC personnel to support the integration of individuals into the AC by

providing administrative, operational, and logistical support. At the

discretion of the COMMARFORRES, the DPCs/RSUs may also be leveraged during

peacetime operations for the support of RC units (both USMC and other

services) training aboard their respective installations. Additional

information regarding the roles, responsibilities, and manning of the

DPCs/RSUs is available within reference (a).

(b) AC Commanders (COs) or Officers-in-Charge (OICs). AC COs or

OICs exercise command of Reserve Marines assigned to billet structure within

their command or activity. Command implies responsibility for ensuring good

order and discipline, training, and overall mobilization readiness. COs or

OICs are aided in this task by AR Marines who are assigned for the purpose of

carrying out Reserve Affairs (RA) activities.

1. RA Officers. AR Marines are assigned to Command Elements

(CE) within the Operational Forces (OPFOR), and are typically organized as an

RA Branch under the staff cognizance of the Assistant Chief of Staff (AC/S)

G-1. While the composition may vary based on the command’s mission,

generally these Marines supervise and manage Reserve manpower programs to

include Individual Mobilization Augmentee (IMA), Active-Duty Operational

Support (ADOS), and Reserve Counterpart Training (RCT), and Full-Time

Support-Active Reserve (FTS-AR) programs. Additionally, the RA Branch serves

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

4

as a coordinating agency that monitors command preparedness to integrate RC

units and individuals during periods of mobilization.

2. Senior Reserve Integration Officers. Senior Reserve

Integration Officers are senior AR officers located at command elements

within the OPFORs. These Marines serve as the primary advisors to the

commanders on Reserve integration matters, to include the

activation/mobilization of reserve Marines and units.

4. Administration and Logistics

a. Recommendations concerning the contents of this Order may be

forwarded to the DC M&RA (RA) via the appropriate chain of command.

b. The generation, collection, or distribution of personally

identifiable information (PII), and the management of privacy sensitive

information shall be in accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended,

per references (a) and (b). Any unauthorized review, use, disclosure or

distribution is prohibited.

c. Records created as a result of this Order shall be managed according

to National Archives and Records Administration approved dispositions per

reference (c) to ensure proper maintenance, use, accessibility and

preservation, regardless of format or medium.

d. Requests for waivers or exceptions to this Marine Corps Order must be

signed by the Commander, Commanding Officer, Officer-in-Charge, or an

individual acting in one of these capacities. Requests for a waiver or

exception to this order signed with "by direction" authority will not be

approved.

Marine Corps Reserve Organization

Section 1: Marine Corps Reserve Organizational Overview

1. Mission

a. The mission of the RC of the Marine Corps is to augment, reinforce,

and sustain the AC with trained units and qualified individuals in times of

war or national emergency and at other such times as national security may

require. Charged with providing the means for rapid expansion of our Corps

in the event of a national emergency, the Marine Corps Reserve provides a

professionally ready, responsive, and relevant Force comprised of units and

individuals as a Marine Corps solution capable of responding to the full

range of military operations (ROMO) as necessitated by the Combatant

Commanders (CCDRs).

b. The Marine Corps Reserve complements the Marine Corps AC operating

force structure and capabilities. Marine Corps RC units and individuals

mirror their AC counterparts in structure, capability, equipment, and

training standards, and are indistinguishable from the AC with regard to the

range of missions they are capable of performing. The RC can augment or

reinforce AC Marine Air-Ground Task Forces (MAGTFs), or task-organize into

MAGTFs composed entirely of RC units and individuals. Total Force

integration is the dominant theme for all Reserve planning, training, and

administration. References (c), (d), (e), and (f) promulgates all

legislation regarding the RC.

2. Composition. The Marine Corps Reserve is comprised of the Ready Reserve,

the Standby Reserve, and the Retired Reserve. See Figure 1-1.

3. Ready Reserve. The Ready Reserve consists of the SelRes and the

Individual Ready Reserve (IRR). Members of the Ready Reserve are subject to

immediate active duty (AD) mobilization during times of war or national

emergency.

a. Selected Reserve (SelRes). The SelRes is that part of the Ready

Reserve consisting of Marines of Selected Marine Corps Reserve (SMCR) units,

IMAs, Reserve Marines serving on the AR program, and Reserve Marines serving

on initial active duty for training (IADT). Chapter 7 of this Order provides

additional insight specifically regarding the SelRes.

(1) SMCR Units

(a) All SMCR units are under the administrative commanded of the

by the Commander, Marine Forces Reserve (COMMARFORRES) when not assigned

allocated to an AC unit during mobilization, activation, or training

exercises.

(b) Marine Forces Reserve (MARFORRES) is comprised of a

Headquarters Battalion (HQBN) and four five MSCs: which are the 4th Marine

Division (4th MarDiv), the 4th Marine Aircraft Wing (4th MAW), the 4th Marine

Logistics Group (4th MLG), and the Force Headquarters Group (FHG), and a

Headquarters Battalion (HQBN). See Figure 1-2.

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

1-2 Enclosure (2)

(c) Each MARFORRES MSC is comprised of multiple subordinate units

which are geographically dispersed throughout the United States. Marines

assigned to SMCR units characteristically train as a unit through scheduled

drill periods which typically consist of one weekend a month on Inactive Duty

Training (IDT) and two weeks a year on Active Duty for Training (ADT).

(2) Individual Mobilization Augmentees (IMA)

(a) The purpose of the IMA is to facilitate the rapid expansion

of AC organizations to meet wartime military manpower requirements,

specifically by providing individual Reserve manpower that can be accessed

during the initial stages of an emerging crisis, prior to mobilization of the

IRR.

(b) IMA billet structure resides within the USMC AC, other

Department of Defense (DoD) agencies, and within non-DoD organizations.

(c) IMA Marines are required to perform a minimum of twelve days

of Annual Training (AT), but not to exceed thirteen days. This additional

day is allowed for travel, as required. In addition, and IMA Marines can

perform up to 48 IDT training periods per fiscal year (FY). As stipulated by

reference (p) there are cases in which specific IMA Marines may not be

required to participate in 48 annual IDTs dependent upon their specific

billet assignment. While the scope and nature of an IMA Marine’s training is

largely determined by the organization to which they are assigned, training

is typically focused on the specific duties and responsibilities each Marine

will be expected to perform when ordered to active duty.

(c) Reference (h) provides assignment, training, and additional

information requirements on for the IMA program.

(3) Active Reserve (AR). Marines in the AR program serve in full-

time active-duty billets that support the organization, administration,

recruiting, retention, instruction, and training of the Marine Corps Reserve.

Reference (i) provides additional information on the AR program.

(4) Initial Active Duty for Training (IADT). Marines on IADT are

undergoing initial accession pipeline training in accordance with reference

(c).

NOTE: For the purpose of this order, unless specifically stated otherwise,

all policies regarding the SelRes apply to SMCR units and IMAs only.

b. Individual Ready Reserve (IRR)

(1) The IRR is a Service manpower pool, comprised primarily of

individuals who have completed training, have served previously in the AC or

SelRes, and are available for mobilization. IRR Marines have either not

completed their Military Service Obligation (MSO) or have completed their MSO

and desire to maintain their service affiliation without being assigned to a

SelRes billet and thereby assuming a mandatory participation requirement.

Management of the IRR is IAW reference (p).

(2) It is important to note that as of the signing of this Order, the

Marine Corps is institutionally reviewing its enterprise-level management

philosophies with regard to the IRR. Incorporated within this review is the

determination on the appropriate assignment of roles and responsibilities for

MCO 1001R.1L

1-3 Enclosure (2)

management of the IRR between the Deputy Commandant Manpower and Reserve

Affairs (DC M&RA), COMMARFORRES, and the MCIRSA. This order is written

capturing the status quo as of date of signature; however, changes to, and

solidification of, policy in this realm are probable in the near future.

(3) Additional information with regard to the IRR can be obtained in

Chapter 8 of this Order.

4. Standby Reserve. The Standby Reserve consists of the Standby Reserve-

Active Status List (ASL) and Standby Reserve-Inactive Status List (ISL).

These individuals are not required to train and are not members of units;

however, they may be mobilized as needed to fill manpower requirements for

specific skills. Additional information with regard to the Standby Reserve

can be obtained in Chapter 9 of this Order.

a. Standby Reserve-Active Status List (ASL)

(1) Reserve Marines in this category are in an active status for

purposes of promotion, and are eligible to participate in reserve training

programs for retirement point credit only. They may not receive pay,

allowances, or travel allowances. They may be ordered to active duty in time

of war or national emergency if the Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV), with the

approval of the Secretary of Defense (SecDef), determines that not enough

qualified Ready Reserve members are available in the categories required.

(2) The Standby Reserve-ASL includes the following:

(a) Marines who have been designated as key federal employees to

prevent conflicts between emergency manpower needs of civilian activities and

the military during mobilization;

(b) Marines who have been temporarily assigned due to hardship

and eventually intend to return to the Ready Reserve; or

(c) Marines who, for reasons determined by the SECNAV and/or CMC,

are prevented from participating in training on a regular basis.

b. Standby Reserve-Inactive Status List (ISL)

(1) Marines in this category are not eligible to participate, receive

pay or retirement point credit, are not eligible for promotion or promotion

consideration, and are not accountable for purposes of end strength or

controlled grades.

(2) The ISL consists of Reserve Marines transferred for the following

reasons:

(a) Officers beyond their MSO who did not earn at least 27

retirement points during their previous anniversary year, unless waived (see

Chapter 9 of this Order);

(b) Officers who are retirement eligible and failed to earn at

least 50 retirement points during their previous anniversary year;

(c) Members transferred to the ISL as a result of a Mobilization

Potential Screening Board (MPSB);

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

1-4 Enclosure (2)

(d) Members who requested to be transferred to the ISL; and

(e) Members identified as being Human Immunodeficiency Virus

(HIV) positive, who, although deemed medically fit for duty, are unable to

fill an appropriate billet within the SelRes (see Chapter 6 of this Order for

additional information).

5. Retired Reserve. The Retired Reserve consists of Reserve Marines who

fall into one of the categories described below.

a. Retired Reserve Awaiting Pay (Gray Area Retirees). This category

consists of Reserve Marines who have completed at least 20 qualifying years

of service and have requested transfer to the Retired Reserve. When the

Marine reaches age 60 (or reduced retirement age eligibility as defined in

reference (d) and covered in Chapter 4 of this Order), retired pay commences

upon application by the member.

b. Retired Reserve in Receipt of Retired Pay. This category is

comprised of Reserve Marines who have completed at least 20 years of

qualifying service, are at age 60 (or reduced retirement age eligibility as

defined in reference (d) and covered in Chapter 4 of this Order), and have

applied for and are receiving retired pay.

c. Reserve Active Duty Retirees. These Reserve Marines have completed

at least 20 years of active-duty service for retirement pay and have been

approved for an active-duty retirement.

d. Physical Disability. Reserve Marines retired for physical disability

under sections 1201, 1202, 1204, or 1205 of reference (c).

e. Others. Reserve Marines drawing retired pay based on retirement for

reasons other than age, service requirements, or physical disability fall

into this category. Marines in this category are retired under special

conditions.

Note: The Retired Reserve does not include members of the Fleet Marine Corps

Reserve (FMCR). The FMCR consists of enlisted personnel who have completed

20 but less than 30-years of active-duty service and are receiving retainer

pay. The FMCR is not part of total Reserve manpower as currently defined by

statute (reference (c)); however, it is a pool of trained personnel available

for mobilization consistent with the Retired Reserve. As the FMCR is not

included as part of the RC it will not be addressed further in this directive

Order.

Reserve Component (RC) Accession Programs

Section 1: General Information

1. Background. The Dir RA determines the annual Reserve accession

requirements in coordination with the COMMARFORRES. All USMC Marine Corps

Reserve recruiting is conducted by the Commanding General, Marine Corps

Recruiting Command (CG MCRC) in coordination with the COMMARFORRES and the

Dir RA.

2. Reserve Obligation

a. Military Service Obligation (MSO)

(1) Anyone inducted, enlisted, or appointed in the Armed Forces on or

after 1 June 1984, incurs an eight-year period of obligated service. Any

part of the service not served on AD or ADT will be performed in the Ready

Reserve.

(2) The Dir MCIRSA will notify Reserve IRR Marines and IMA Marines of

their service obligation and minimum participation requirements for

satisfactory service in the Ready Reserve within two years of the completion

of their MSO, utilizing the sample letter provided in Figure 2-1.

(3) Marines of the SelRes who have not completed their initial

contractual IDT obligation serve with an SMCR unit by virtue of their initial

enlistment agreement. All other participants affiliate by virtue of a

Reserve reenlistment or other contractual agreement.

(4) Marines in the IMA will be notified of their service obligation

and minimum participation requirements by their operational sponsor.

b. Mandatory Drill Participation Stop Date (MDPSD)

(1) The MDPSD is the date in which a Reserve Marine (officer or

enlisted) has met their mandatory drilling obligation with an SMCR unit.

Contractually binding, this initial minimum period of obligation to affiliate

is determined by the member’s initial accession program agreement. Marines

may extend or establish a new mandatory drilling obligation by accepting an

incentive, retraining, transitioning/converting, participating in a refresher

program, or voluntarily accepting a new MDPSD based on the needs of the

Marine Corps.

(2) Once this period of obligated active participation within an SMCR

unit has been fulfilled, the remaining MSO may be served in the IRR or as a

drilling member in the SelRes.

(3) If a Reserve Marine’s unit has received an order of intent to

mobilize before the Marine’s MDPSD has been reached, the Marine will mobilize

and deploy with his or her unit.

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

2-2 Enclosure (2)

(4) In the case of a Marines that is who are already beyond their

MDPSD, but continueing to serve with an SMCR unit, if their Marine’s unit

receives an formal activation approval and notification order of intent to

mobilize before they Marine voluntarily transfers to the IRR, the Marine will

mobilize and deploy with their unit or request a Delay, Deferment, or

Exemption (DD&E) through their chain of command in accordance with reference

(i).

3. Lateral Move and Career Progression Military Occupational Specialty (MOS)

Program

a. Lateral Move (LatMov). SMCR Marines requesting LatMov into a ground

combat arms MOS must meet the MOS classification standard (MCS).

b. Transfering from the IRR. Marines transferring from the IRR who

request a LatMov into a ground combat arms MOS must meet the MCS requirement

prior to attending the course. Funding for orders will not be approved until

qualifying MCS scores are submitted to RA (RAM). Failure to meet the MCS

requirement within 90 days after affiliation will result in program

disqualification.

Chapter 2

Reserve Component (RC) Accession Programs

Section 2: Enlisted Accession Programs

1. General Information. Enlisted Marines of the RC are sourced as either a

non-prior service (NPS) accession, with no prior Marine Corps service, or as

a prior service (PS) accession after completion of their initial active-

duty/AC service or drilling contractual obligation.

2. Non-Prior Service (NPS) Enlisted Accessions. Approximately two-thirds of

RC enlisted accessions are NPS Marines. All NPS applicants enlisting into

the SMCR will enlist for eight years in accordance with reference (j). The

MDPSD is established in their initial accession program agreement.

a. Orientation Briefings for NPS Enlistees

(1) It is the responsibility of the COMMARFORRES to ensure SMCR units

conduct an orientation brief with newly accessed unit members. The

orientation brief should be conducted by the SMCR unit commanding

officer/officer in charge (CO/OIC) or the I-I/site commander to welcome and

get acquainted with new unit members. The brief should convey a sense of

camaraderie and familiarize the new member with the unit as well as post-

Initial Active Duty Training (IADT) duties and training highlights. The

enthusiasm and interest communicated by the SMCR unit leadership should

motivate and strengthen the new member's commitment to the unit and to the

Marine Corps.

(2) The orientation brief is not a screening process to determine

suitability for service in the Marine Corps Reserve as that activity is the

responsibility of the MCRC.

(3) The orientation brief should occur within 30 days of enlistment.

When IADT will occur before a formal orientation brief can be arranged,

commanders are encouraged to make personal contact with the new member

through command visitation or by telephone. In cases of immediate reserve

accessions, or those contracted and shipped within 10 calendar days, the

responsible Recruiting Station (RS) will attempt to arrange for an I-I

orientation. If an in-person orientation is not feasible, the RS can arrange

an orientation via telephone between the contracted individual and an

Reserve Duty and Training Programs

Section 1: Reserve Utilization Categories and Duty Types

1. Reserve Utilization Categories. Utilization categories provide the

flexibility necessary to develop policies to maximize RC utilization. As

explainedanded upon below, and depicted in Figure 3-1, Reserve Marines

perform duty for training, support, mobilization, or other purposes.

a. Training. Reserve Marines will receive training pursuant to

assignments and required readiness levels. Required training will provide

the minimum training time or number of training periods required for

attaining the prescribed unit readiness status and maintaining individual

proficiency. The primary purpose of all training is the enhancement of

individual skills and/or unit effectiveness. Mission support may be a key

element in developing training programs, but training shall be the paramount

consideration and documented for budgetary allocations. Mission and

operational support (OS) may occur as a consequence of training.

(1) Training may be conducted in an inactive duty (ID) or AD status.

(2) The training utilization category consists of both voluntary and

involuntary training duty. Involuntary training duty includes AT and IDT.

Voluntary training duty includes Other Training Duty (OTD).

b. Support

(1) AD for the purposes of organizing, administering, recruiting,

instructing, or training the RC, or to perform other duties in support of the

AC. It also includes AD performed at the request of an

organizational/operational CCDR, or as a result of reimbursable funding in

order to provide the necessary skilled manpower assets to support existing or

emerging requirements.

(2) The support utilization category is comprised of both voluntary

and involuntary AD. Voluntary support duty includes Active-Duty for ADOS

whereas, involuntary support duty includes preplanned/preprogrammed CCDR

support under the authority of section 12304b of reference (c).

c. Mobilization. Mobilization is involuntary AD, in accordance with

reference (c), used to support national objectives in time of war or other

emergencies when the President or Congress determines that RC forces are

required to augment the AC. Reference (i) and Chapter 10 of this Order

provide information and authorities relating to mobilization (for units and

individuals) and retiree recall in conjunction with contingency operations.

d. Other. This category is comprised of an assortment of both voluntary

and involuntary duty classifications in both AD and ID statuses.

(1) AD voluntary other duty includes Funeral Honors Duty (FHD), and

ID voluntary other duty includes Marines ordered to AD for medical care,

evaluation, or treatment.

(2) AD involuntary other duty is inclusive of those in a captive

status (per reference (c), section 12301(g)), Marines ordered to AD for

MCO 1001R.1L

disciplinary purposes (per reference (c), sect 802(d)), those ordered to

active duty due to unsatisfactory participation (in accordance with reference

(c), sections 10148 and 12303), and retiree recall under the authority of

reference (c), section 688. ID involuntary other duty includes Muster Duty

(MD).

2. Types of Reserve Duty. Marine Corps Reserve duty is comprised of two

primary types, which are ID and AD. The corresponding duties performed

within each duty sub-type may vary significantly depending on the capacity in

which the Marine serves, the unit or organizational mission, and the Marine’s

personal situation. The types of Reserve duty are as described in the

sections to follow, and are depicted in Figure 3-2.

3. Reserve Pay Group Categories

a. Each member of the Ready Reserve and Standby Reserve shall be placed

in a specific training category utilizing an appropriate code for training

and pay purposes based on the amount of training each is required to perform.

b. The reserve training category pay groups that are utilized for

members of the SelRes are as follows:

(1) Pay group “A” identifies SMCR unit personnel who are required to

attend 48 IDT periods and 14 days AT, exclusive of travel time each

anniversary year.

(2) Pay group “B” identifies IMAs, with remaining obligated service

time who are required to attend up to 48 IDT periods and a minimum of 12 days

AT, exclusive of travel time, each anniversary year. As stipulated by

reference (s), there are cases in which specific IMA Marines may not be

required to participate in 48 annual IDTs dependent upon their specific

billet assignment.

(3) Pay group “F” identifies SelRes personnel attending initial

active duty for training (IADT).

(4) Pay group “Q” identifies AR personnel.

Reserve Participation, Assignments, Progression, and Retirement

Section 1: Overview

1. General Information

a. Marines serving in the RC must meet minimum participation

requirements within a one-year period (Anniversary Year) by performing

inactive or active duty in order to maintain eligibility and earn credit for

a Reserve retirement.

b. A point system is used to credit Marines for their participation.

c. Reaching or surpassing the minimum requirement is considered a

“qualifying” or “satisfactory year”.

d. Marines serving within the SelRes have specific training

requirements, while Marines in the IRR do not (with the exception of

musters).

e. With the exception of AR Marines, SelRes Marines typically

participate in 48 scheduled IDT periods and 14 days (for SMCR) or 12 days

(for IMA) of ADT each year (exclusive of the travel day).

f. Marines in the IRR can maintain eligibility through a variety of

other duty types as noted in Figure 4-1.

2. The Point System

a. Reserve Retirement Point System. The Reserve retirement point system

is the method used for awarding credit to Reserve Marines for duty served.

(1) Retirement points are earned by a Reserve Marine when completing

either active duty (while serving with the AC, ADOS, ADT, AT, Extended Active

Duty (EAD), and on the AR program) or ID. Marines are awarded:

(a) One active-duty point for each day of service on active duty,

or

(b) Up to two points can be earned per day while in an IDT status

(one for each IDT period) per day IDT performed with or without pay. One

point may be awarded per four-hour period of IDT or two-hour period of FHD.

(2) The points are used to determine qualifying service for

retirement eligibility, amount of retired pay to be received, and promotion

eligibility and retention.

(3) Points earned in one anniversary year may not be credited against

any other anniversary year, nor will points be moved from one anniversary

year to any other anniversary year for the purpose of making an

unsatisfactory year satisfactory.

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

4-2 Enclosure (2)

(4) Figure 4-1 further defines the types of duty that can be

performed for retirement credit.

b. Qualifying Year of Satisfactory Service. A qualifying year of

service for non-regular retired pay and/or retention in the RC, is 50

credited points during a 365/366-day period.

c. Anniversary Year

(1) The full-year period used for crediting of qualifying years for

non-Regular retirement is based on anniversary years. The anniversary year

is calculated from an anniversary date which that is established on the day

the Marine entered into active service, or active status in the RC.

(2) Figure 4-2 provides a summary of the additional insight with

regard to minimum points required to establish a partial anniversary year as

qualifying service.

(3) Figure 4-3 provides a summary of the granularity regarding

membership points credited for a partial year.

d. Career Retirement Credit Record Report (CRCR). The CRCR is the

document that records the retirement credit points in the Marine Corps Total

Force System (MCTFS) by anniversary year. It reflects a Marine’s entire

career and is derived from the Annual Retirement Credit Report (ARCR). For

more in-depth information regarding CRCRs and ARCRs, see Chapter 5, section 3

of this Order.

Section 2: Participation Requirements

1. Participation Requirements of the SelRes

a. Satisfactory participation requirements for each Training Pay

Category (TPC) are:

# of Periods Maximum #

of IDT Req of AT Days

TPC Comprised of Annually (Including Travel)

A SMCR unit 48 15

B IMA 48* 13

*IMA billets are either paid funded or unpaid unfunded. Funded billets are

for Marines joined as IMAs and count against IMA end strength. Unpaid are

referred to as PIP billets which are Marines in the IRR. Additionally, as

stipulated by reference (p) there are cases in which specific IMA Marines may

not be required to participate in 48 annual IDTs dependent upon their

specific billet assignment.

b. Attendance at required training alone does not constitute

satisfactory participation. Such participation requires compliance with all

applicable Marine Corps regulations to include meeting standards of

attendance, body composition and military appearance, fitness, decorum,

attitude, and effort expended during training periods.

c. Commanders may grant exceptions for individuals who are subject to

the annual participation requirements listed in Chapter 4, paragraph 3.a.,

above, provided that:

(1) The number of unexcused absences does not exceed nine 9 scheduled

IDT periods in the preceding 12 months; or

(2) The member has performed an equivalent or greater amount of

ADT/ADOS to the annual AT requirement.

d. SMCR Unit Participation Requirement. Reserve Marines with an MDPSD

will honor their contractual obligation. Transfer to the IRR will be

effected only when the enlistment/officer accession contract, or other

incurred service obligation is fulfilled or when authorized by the

COMMARFORRES.

e. Deferment Due to Child Birth or Adoption. See reference

(y). Dual-Service parents and single parents must comply with the provisions

of reference (x).

f. Unit Policy Letter for Mandatory Participation. Unit COs will

publish a policy letter outlining SMCR participation requirements and the

criteria established for granting Rescheduled IDTs (RIDTs) and excused

absences from IDT and AT periods.

2. Participation Requirements of the IRR. See Chapter 8.

3. Participation Requirements of the Standby Reserve. See Chapter 9.

4. Methods of Fulfilling Participation Requirements. Figure 4-4 provides an

expansive overview of the types of duty available for RC Marines, along with

the associated minimum time requirements, types of points awardable, and the

maximum number of points permissible per day/year.

5. Statement of Understanding (SOU)

a. An SOU (formerly referred to as a Separate Written Agreement to Train

(SWAT)) is a contractual agreement between the Marine Corps and a non-

mandatory participant which that obligates the Marine to participate in

Reserve training in the SelRes. The obligation is incurred upon reporting to

active duty for attendance at a formal school per the below guidelines.

b. The length of the SOU will be:

(1) One year, upon reporting to active duty for attendance at a

formal MOS producing school of less than 5 weeks in length.

(2) Two years, upon reporting to active duty for attendance at a

formal school of 5 weeks to 12 weeks in length; or

(3) Three years, upon reporting to active duty for attendance at a

formal school in excess of 12 weeks.

c. Reserve Marines undergoing OJT do not require an SOU.

d. Reserve Marines assigned to formal schools that do not result in an

MOS (to include additional MOS (AMOS)) of 5 weeks or less do not require an

SOU.

e. In no case will the separation date of the agreement extend beyond

the expiration date of the Marine’s enlistment contract. Coordinate with DC

M&RA (RAMRCT) to affect an extension and/or reenlistment to correspond with

the contract length of the SOU, as appropriate.

f. Signatureing of the SOU must be witnessed by an officer and approved

by DC M&RA (RA). The original SOU will be forwarded to the DC M&RA (MMRP-

20), for inclusion in the Marine’s OMPF, and a copy will be provided given to

the Reserve Marine.

g. Upon termination of an SOU, a Marine may be retained in the unit,

transferred to another unit, or transferred to the IRR.

h. A Marine may request release from the SOU, via the chain of command,

to the COMMARFORRES or his designated representative. The Marine must

continue to participate until disposition of the request is made. Marines in

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

4-5 Enclosure (2)

receipt of a reenlistment bonus serving under an SOU will submit their

request to DC M&RA (RA) via the appropriate chain of command.

i. Reserve Marines who fail to comply with the provisions of the

agreement will be processed for unsatisfactory participation, as stated

provided in the SOU.

j. When a Marine attends a formal school in conjunction with the SOU, DC

M&RA (RA) will change the MDPSD to coincide with the end of SOU.

k. A sample SOU is provided at Figure 4-5

6. Unit Assignment Criteria. Marines with Non-Ground Combat Arms (GCA) MOSs

(e.g., Field Radio Operator or Motor Transport Officer) seeking to serve in

MARFORRES load-bearing GCA units must meet the unit assignment criteria

eligibility requirement.

a. Non-GCA MOS, Prior Service (PS) Marines with prior Marine Corps

experience.

(1) Non-GCA MOS, PS Marines transferring into load-bearing GCA units

from the Selected Reserve or Active Component must have passed (resident in

the Marine Corps Total Force System (MCTFS)) a PFT and a CFT,

(a) within 18 months prior to the projected join date, and

(b) with scores that meet the unit assignment criteria.

(2) Non-GCA MOS, PS Marines transferring from the IRR or accessing

from “off-contract” must meet the unit assignment criteria within 180 days of

affiliation. Marines failing to meet the criteria will either

(a) be involuntarily dropped to the IRR, or

(b) conduct an Inter-Unit Transfer (IUT) to another unit.

Note – failure to meet the unit assignment criteria will not be the sole

factor in adverse action against the Marine (e.g., adverse fitness report,

reduction in proficiency and conduct marks, or competency review board).

b. Non-GCA MOS, Non-Prior Service (NPS) applicants with no prior Marine

Corps experience.

(1) Non-GCA MOS, NPS applicants pursuing affiliation with MARFORRES

load-bearing GCA units must pass the GCA Initial Strength Test (IST) in order

to contract and ship to recruit training.

(2) Marines should be tested on unit assignment criteria during

their entry-level training.

(3) Upon completion of entry-level training and reporting to the

load-bearing GCA unit, if a non-GCA NPS Marine has not yet met the unit

assignment criteria, the Marine will be afforded 180 days to meet the unit

assignment criteria. If after 180 days, the NPS Marine still has not met the

unit assignment criteria, the Marine will be reassigned to another open BIC

within the permissible geographical area by IUT. If there are no units

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

4-6 Enclosure (2)

within the geographical area with open BICs matching the Marine’s MOS/rank,

then the parent unit/chain of command will contact DC M&RA (RAM) to

coordinate an MOS reclassification.

c. The MARFORRES load-bearing GCA units are 23d Marine Regiment, 25th

Marine Regiment, 4th Reconnaissance Battalion, 3d Force Reconnaissance

Company, 4th Force Reconnaissance Company, and the combat engineer companies

in 4th Combat Engineer Battalion.

d. DC M&RA (RA) is the waiver authority for any exceptions.

Reserve Participation, Assignments, Progression, and Retirement

Section 3: Unsatisfactory Participation

1. Overview

a. Definition. A reserve Marine may be determined to be termed an

unsatisfactory participant when one or more of the following occurs:

(1) Unsatisfactory IDT attendance or participation, to include:

(a) Tardiness at IDT periods not excused by the

CO/OIC/I-I/OpSponsor;

(b) Absence from an IDT period after muster without proper

authority;

(c) Failure to meet minimum standards of performance, as

determined by the CO/OIC/I-I/OpSponsor and applicable Marine Corps

regulations;

(d) Unsatisfactory personal or military appearance, as determined

by the CO/OIC/I-I/OpSponsor;

(e) Any unexcused absence from an IDT period; or

(f) Failure to resume drilling obligation when terminated from a

Temporarily Not Physically Qualified/Not Physically Qualified (TNPQ/NPQ)

status for noncompliance.

(2) Failure to attend scheduled AT or any other ADT requirement.

(3) Failure to complete the required administrative action in

conjunction with absences from the Continental United States (CONUS) and

visits to foreign countries under the provisions of Chapter 5, section 5 of

this Order.

(4) Failure of the mandatory participant to join an SMCR unit from

the IRR on return to CONUS.

(5) Failure to report to the SMCR unit to which transferred within

the time specified on transfer orders.

(6) Failure to keep the CO/OIC/Dir MCIRSA informed of current address

primary residence address and telephone number.

(7) Commission of an offense under the UCMJ during an IDT period.

Only the IDT at which the offense occurred may be declared unsatisfactory

regardless of any subsequent Non-Judicial Punishment (NJP) or trial by courts

martial. The fact an IDT period was declared unsatisfactory does not in

itself affect the individual's pay status for the IDT period in question.

(8) Failure to comply with the participation requirements of an SOU.

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

4-8 Enclosure (2)

(9) Failure to comply with the provisions of reference (u).

b. A Marine determined to be an unsatisfactory participant will be sent

a notification letter per Figure 4-6.

c. The Marine Corps Command Legal Action (CLA) is the system used to

process the administrative separation of unsatisfactory participants.

2. Members Serving Pursuant to an Initial Agreement. When a Marine with a

mandatory participation requirement acquires accrues at least 9nine unexcused

absences from scheduled training within the preceding 12-month period, or is

categorized as an unsatisfactory participant for reasons other than excessive

absences, the unit commander must pursue one of the following actions:

a. Retain the Marine and authorize EDPs to regain satisfactory

participation status.

b. Extend the SMCR Marine’s MDPSD by a period of time commensurate to

the accumulated unsatisfactory participation time. Of note, Commands must

request to have a Marine’s MDPSD adjusted only if the Marine returns to a

good drilling status.

(1) The number of months that the MDPSD will be extended is

determined by calculating the number of missed drills during the period of

unsatisfactory participation and dividing by four. For example, 16 sixteen

missed drills divided by 4 four equals a 4 four month extension (16/4 = 4).

Fractions equal to or greater than one-half (1/2) of a month are rounded up.

Lesser fractions are disregarded.

(2) Extensions will not be granted for periods of less than one

month.

(3) The MDPSD extension may only be reported once in during a

Marine’s career. This opportunity will only be afforded once

(4) At no time will an extension exceed a Marine’s ECC/RECC.

(5) COMMARFORRES or its MSCs are the approval authority for all

requests.

(6) Requests will contain the following information on the Marine for

which the extension is requested: Name, Grade, EDIPI, MDP Start Date, Current

MDPSD, Requested MDP Stop Date MDPSD, Justification, and date of ECC.

c. Initiate separation proceedings via CLA and per reference (z).

d. Of note, The nine 9 unexcused absences do not have to be missed

consecutively; however, in the event a Marine accumulates nine consecutive

unexcused absences, actions to terminate the Marine’s SGLI must be initiated

per reference (aa).

3. Non-Mandatory Members and Members Serving Pursuant to an SOU. When a

non-mandatory participant or member serving pursuant to an SOU is categorized

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

4-9 Enclosure (2)

as an unsatisfactory participant, the unit commander must pursue one of the

following actions:

a. Retain the Marine and authorize EDPs to regain satisfactory

participation status.

b. Initiate separation proceedings via CLA and in accordance with

reference (v). A non-mandatory participant (not serving pursuant to an SOU)

cannot be retained in an SMCR status involuntarily solely for the purpose of

administrative discharge processing should the member request a transfer to

the IRR. Upon transfer to the IRR, MCIRSA will continue separations

proceedingsprocessing, per reference (z).

4. IDT Periods Declared Unsatisfactory Based On Performance

a. Only the CO/OIC/I-I/OpSponsor may declare an IDT period

unsatisfactory for failure to meet standards of performance. Notification by

the CO/OIC/I-I/OpSponsor is a prerequisite for declaring an IDT period

unsatisfactory.

b. Whether a Marine’s performance is satisfactory or unsatisfactory, the

individual will be paid for each IDT period when engaged in training for at

least four hours.

c. If an IDT period is declared unsatisfactory for failure to meet

standards of performance, Reserve retirement credit points will not be

awarded and an EDP may be authorized. If the member performs at least 4 four

hours of training, the UMS will be marked as present ("X") and a comment made

in the remarks sections indicating the reason the drill is declared

unsatisfactory, i.e., “drill declared unsat, failed uniform inspection.” If

the command recognizes at the outset that a Marine will not be able to

perform satisfactorily, or observes after the IDT period has commenced but

before four hours have passed, that the Marine is not performing in a

satisfactory manner, the command will not allow the Marine to proceed with

the IDT. If the Marine was paid for a drill declared unsatisfactory

(performed at least four hours of training), then the EDP can only be

authorized without pay.

5. Failure to Report

a. Inter-unit Transfer (IUT). An enlisted Reserve Marine failing to

report to the new Reserve unit by the date designated in the orders may be

classified as an unsatisfactory participant.

(1) Upon IUT, if the individual does not physically report as

directed, the CO/OIC/I-I of the gaining unit will contact the transferring

unit and attempt to locate the Marine (IMA OpSponsors will coordinate with

Dir MCIRSA).

(2) If the Marine cannot be located within 15 days of the transfer

date and the orders are not modified or canceled by the issuing authority,

the unit to which the Marine was ordered will report the join if they have

not already done so and subsequently transfer the Marine back to the former

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

4-10 Enclosure (2)

unit at least one day after the join entry. The former unit will take

appropriate administrative action.

(3) Should the Marine report to a new unit in person without

appropriate orders, the Marine will not be joined until the CO/OIC/I-I of the

transferring unit is contacted to determine the member's status and acquire

the appropriate orders. The CO/OIC/I-I of the gaining unit can then join the

Marine. The date of join will not be retroactive. IMA OpSponsors will

coordinate with Dir MCIRSA.

b. Transfer to the SMCR Upon Release from Active Duty

(1) If a Marine fails to report from AD as directed,

the I-I/site

commander will attempt to locate the Marine and ensure the active-duty orders

were not modified or canceled. When it is determined that the Marine was

released from active duty but failed to report as directed, the gaining unit

will join the Marine on the UD the day after the date the Marine was released

from active duty as stipulated on the DD 214 and take appropriate

administrative action.

(2) Unauthorized absences will be reported on the UD for all IDT

periods scheduled but not performed by the Marine the day after the Marine’s

last day of active duty. For example, if on 15 December 20145, a unit

commander identifies a Marine who was released from active duty on 31 October

20145 but failed to report, the individual will be joined on the unit rolls

on 1 November 20145 and all IDT periods scheduled by the unit from 1 November

20145 through 15 December 20145 will be reported as unauthorized absences in

DMM. DMM will be corrected accordingly.

c. Transfers from the IRR to SMCR

(1) Mandatory participants of the IRR directed to return to an SMCR

status by the COMMARFORRES will be determined to be unsatisfactory

participants if they fail to report by the date designated in their orders.

(2) The COMMARFORRES will direct Dir MCIRSA to rejoin and process the

Marine for separation via CLA and in accordance with reference (z).

Section 4: Officer Assignments and Tours

1. Minimum Officer Participation Requirements

a. Reserve officers who have completed their MSO, but are not retirement

eligible, are required to earn a minimum of 27 retirement credit points per

anniversary year in order to be retained in an active status the Ready

Reserve or on the ASL of the Standby Reserve.

(1) Dir MCIRSA Individuals will be notified, in writing, those

individuals who by their commands for failing to meet this requirement, and

will be involuntarily transferred them to the ISL.

(2) Marines may request a one-time waiver of this requirement by

submitting a waiver via the appropriate chain of command to DC M&RA (MMSR-5)

for decision in coordination with DC M&RA (RAP). These non-obligor Marines

may request a one-time minimum participation waiver via the appropriate chain

of command to DC M&RA (MMSR-5) for decision in coordination with DC M&RA

(RAM).

(a) Officers may only submit one waiver during their career, and

the waiver will only be leveraged to waive a single year. Only one minimum

participation waiver may be granted during a Marine’s career, and the waiver

will only be used to waive a single anniversary year. Subsequent waiver

requests will not normally receive favorable consideration.

(b) Justification should include unique or unusual circumstances

as to why the minimum participation requirements were not met and a statement

September 2014 shall reduce the eligibility age by 3 months for each

aggregate of 90 days for which the member servesd on active service in any

FY.

(2) Active duty as expanded upon below beginning on 1 October 2014

shall reduce the eligibility age by 3 months for each aggregate of 90 days

for which the member serves on active service in any two consecutive FYs. At

the end of a second consecutive FY the member's "clock resets" for the

purposes of this provision. Reductions in eligibility age will be calculated

as follows: A Marine has 2 consecutive fiscal years to obtain 90 days. Once

an aggregate of 90 days in 2 consecutive fiscal years been achieved, the

clock resets, providing the member with the opportunity to use the remainder

of the current fiscal year as well as the next consecutive fiscal year in

which to earn an aggregate of 90 days of active service. Thus, whenever a

Reserve Marine’s 90-day clock resets and the Marine begins a new period of

active duty eligibility for reduced-age retirement, the Marine will always

have the current fiscal year and the following fiscal year to earn an

aggregate of 90 days.

(3) Per reference (c), a member is not entitled to retired healthcare

benefits until age 60.

b. For the purpose of this section, a day of active service will be

included in only one aggregate of 90 days and the qualifying active service

will be defined as:

(1) Active-duty service, after 28 January 2008, either in support of

contingency operations under a provision of law specified in section

101(a)(13)(B) of reference (c), or an order to active duty pursuant to

section 12301(d) of reference (c). However, active duty pursuant to section

12301(d) of reference (c) for the purpose of AR duty in accordance with

section 12310 of reference (c) will not be included as service counting

toward a reduction in retirement age.

(2) Active duty pursuant to section 12301(h) of reference (c) to

receive medical care as a result of a wound, illness, or injury incurred

while serving on active service as specified in Chapter 4, paragraph 1a(1)

above will be treated as a continuation of the original call or order to

active duty or active service for the purposes of reducing the eligibility

age for a non-Regular retirement of set forth in section 12731 of reference

(c).

c. The eligibility age for non-Regular retirement of set forth in

section 12731 of reference (c) may not be reduced below 50 years of age for

any person described in this section.

d. The Assistant Secretary of Defense (ASD)(RA) will designate, by

authorizing memorandum, the qualifying active duty and active service for

reduced age for non-Regular retirement as it relates to a named contingency

operation, a national emergency, or certain active service supported by

federal funds.

3. Criteria for Establishing a Satisfactory Year for Reserve Retirement

a. Qualifying Years of Satisfactory Service. A qualifying year of

service for Reserve retirement is a full year, as described in paragraphs 3b

and 3c below, during which an AC or RC member is credited with a minimum of

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

4-27 Enclosure (2)

50 retirement points. Except as otherwise provided by law, an accumulation

of 20 such years is one requirement necessary to qualify for Reserve

retirement pay.

b. Establishment of an Anniversary Year

(1) The full-year periods used for the crediting of qualifying years

for Reserve retirement shall be based on "anniversary" years as set forth

below.

(2) Except as noted in Chapter 4, paragraph 3d, each Reserve Marine

will have a unique anniversary date and the anniversary year periods are

calculated from this anniversary date. This date is established by the date

the member entered into active service or into an active status in the RC.

(This includes service in a Delayed Entry Program (DEP) as set forth in

reference (c).

(3) A Reserve Marine may earn the minimum 50 total points to achieve

a qualifying anniversary year through any combination of AT, mandatory drill

requirements, membership points, correspondence points, FHD, ATPs/RMPs, and

active-duty points (to include ADOS).

(4) Reserve Marines, particularly IMAs, who do not drill regularly on

a monthly basis, must schedule and manage their drills carefully to ensure

consecutive drills are reported to also accommodate the anniversary year

requirement.

c. Adjustment to Anniversary Years

(1) The start date (month and day) for each successive anniversary

year will not be adjusted unless the member has a break-in-service. A break-

in-service occurs only when a member transfers to the ISL of the Standby

Reserve, the Retired Reserve, or is discharged for a period greater than 24

hours (with no Reserve affiliation). There will be no break-in-service if

the member transfers directly from the AC to the RC.

(2) When a member with a break-in-service, returns to an AR status or

to active service the revised anniversary year start date shall be the date

of reentry.

d. Exceptions to Calculating Anniversary Years

(1) In the case of officers with Reserve service as a cadet or

midshipman at a Service Academy or in an ROTC program, the date for the start

of a member's initial anniversary year will be established as the date of

appointment as a commissioned officer.

(2) In the case of enlisted members of the Marine Corps, (members who

have service as a cadet or midshipman but who did not later receive or who do

not hold a commission as an officer), service as a cadet or midshipman at a

Service Academy shall be included and counted as active duty.

e. Credit for Partial Years of Service

(1) A member who has a break-in-service that occurs during an

anniversary year shall be credited with a partial year of qualifying service

for Reserve retirement.

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

4-28 Enclosure (2)

(2) When a partial year occurs, the Service member must meet the

minimum retirement point requirements for the member's service to qualify as

a partial year. A partial qualifying year is any period less than 12 full

months in which the retirement points credited to a member, when computed

proportionally to 12 months, are equal to or greater than 50 points.

Calculation of required retirement credit for a partial year shall be made

according to Figure 4-2.

(3) Partial years of qualifying service may be combined and credited

towards total qualifying service.

(4) Membership points for any partial year shall be credited based

upon Figure 4-3. On completion of a partial year, ID points, which include

prorated membership points, creditable for Reserve retirement pay purposes

shall be credited.

4. Eligibility for Retirement Point Credit. Members in the following

categories are eligible for retirement point credit:

a. Members of an AC or RC in active service.

b. Members of the RC in an active status as defined in section 10141 of

reference (b). (This includes service in a DEP). This service is credited

toward Reserve retirement since it is service in an active status as a member

of the Ready Reserve.

c. Members of the RC in a retired status (other than members who have

retired from active service), or members transferred to the Retired Reserve

under section 1001 of reference (c) who are ordered to perform active duty or

other appropriate duty in a retired status may be credited with active or ID

service pursuant to such order.

d. Members of the Marine Corps Reserve in an inactive status who are

carried on the ISL of the Standby Reserve under section 10151 of reference

(c) may not be credited with service for retirement per section 1334 of

reference (c). (Individuals who have completed the service requirement for

retired pay but are not yet age 60 may be transferred to an inactive status,

but may not receive a retirement point credit in that status.)

Reserve Participation, Assignments, Progression, and Retirement

Section 8: Other Assignment Policies

1. Assignment Policy for Female Marines. Female Marines in the Reserve

component (RC) will be recruited and assigned in accordance with current DoD,

SECNAVDON, and USMC Marine Corps policies regarding females in the Reserve.

See reference (aj) and other associated directives for guidance.

2. MOS Assigning/Changing/Voiding. The MOS is used to identify skill-

knowledge requirements of billets on T/Os, to assign Marines with

capabilities appropriate to required billets, and to manage the force.

Marines will be assigned a billet commensurate with their primary MOS and pay

grade in accordance with the current HQMC BIC assignment policy. In most

cases, Marines may be assigned a billet that is one pay grade above or below

their current pay grade. Marines that who are not PMOS matches for their

current billet are encouraged to conduct an IUT or seek MOS reclassification.

Failure to IUT, reclassify, or accept reassignment may result in the Marine

being involuntarily transferred to the IRR by the COMMARFORRES. Assignment

of a PMOS will be in accordance with reference (ak).

a. If a member does not have a PMOS commensurate with the billet

assigned, the Marine will be assigned the basic MOS required for that billet

upon approval for retraining by DC M&RA (RAM). Marines will not be assigned

to a BIC for which they do not have the appropriate PMOS recorded in MCTFS

prior to a DC M&RA (RAM) retraining authorization unless previously approved

in the Inventory Development and Management System (IDMS) by DC M&RA (RAP) in

the case of officers and E-8s/E-9s, or COMMARFORRES (G-1), in the case of E-1

through E-7. The newly awarded basic MOS will become that Marine’s PMOS.

(1) When a member meets the requirements for a PMOS not recorded in

MCTFS, action will be initiated to change the PMOS per the instructions

contained in reference (ak) and the previous paragraph. All primary MOS

changes require HQMC approval and will be forwarded to DC M&RA (RA) via the

chain of command and will be made per the instructions in reference (ad), as

applicable.

(2) All officer additional MOS (AMOS) changes require HQMC approval

and will be forwarded directly to DC M&RA (RA) for update per the

instructions in reference (ad).

(3) Marines assigned a new basic MOS are considered for promotion in

the new MOS category. Marines and the command must ensure the Marine becomes

PMOS qualified as soon as possible by attending approved retraining and/or

career progression training to remain competitive for promotion progression.

b. Upon promotion of a lieutenant colonel to colonel, the PMOS will

revert to the first AMOS and the new PMOS will be the appropriate 80XX MOS.

Legal officers Judge Advocates will retain 4402 as their PMOS.

c. Unit/CO Action

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

4-30 Enclosure (2)

(1) Requests for assigning, changing, or voiding an MOS that requires

formal school training, as indicated in references (ad) and (ak), will be

submitted through the appropriate chain of command. Requests must fully

document the training, skills, and knowledge the individual possesses for

qualification in the requested PMOS. The CO's endorsement shall verify the

qualifications to perform the duties of the grade in the PMOS requested and

assignment to a billet requiring that PMOS. Once endorsed, requests are to

be forwarded to the DC M&RA (RAM) for processing via the RAM organizational

mailbox at [email protected].

(2) Requests should be submitted with the following enclosures:

(a) Copies of course completion certificates.

(b) Copies of any other appropriate documents.

(c) Justification for the request.

3. Prior Service (PS) Marines Transferred to the IRR for MOS Incompatibility

a. PS Marines (officer and enlisted) assigned to the SMCR, who are not

qualified by MOS for the billet to which assigned, are required to become MOS

qualified within 12 months from the date that the retraining was authorized

by DC M&RA (RAM). A Reserve Marine who has not begun a formal school or MOJT

program within 12 months is subject to involuntary transfer to the IRR.

b. If the formal school or training was not available due to no fault of

the Marine concerned or the unit, the CO/OIC/I-I will request a reasonable

amount of time to place the Marine into another school seat or reassign the

Marine to a different training track via IDMS to COMMARFORRES (G-1). It is

the responsibility of the unit, not the individual Marine, to register a

Marine for formal school. The CO/OIC/I-I will document all actions taken,

include the reason for the waiver to the 12-month rule, intended MOS, and the

anticipated training completion date in the IDMS waiver (exception) request.

c. Recommendations for transfer to the IRR for failure to obtain an MOS

will be initiated by the CO/OIC/I-I, and will be forwarded to the

COMMARFORRES, for approval. It is emphasized that It is the CO/OIC/I-I’s

responsibility to provide every opportunity for a Reserve Marine to attend a

primary MOS school.

d. Members who fail to comply with the MOS retraining requirement will

be counseled 6 months prior to the expiration of the 12-month period and

warned of possible transfer to the IRR. A Page 11 counseling entry will be

entered in the Marine's ESR in accordance with reference (z), paragraph 6105,

to document this counseling. Ensure a copy of adverse page 11 entries are

forwarded to DC M&RA (MMRP) for filing in the OMPF within 30 days of

counseling, per reference (j).

Reserve Participation, Assignments, Progression, and Retirement

Section 9: Billet Identification Code (BIC) Assignment, Management, and

Reporting Policy

1. BIC Assignments. Every effort will be made to ensure that personnel are

assigned to valid BICs commensurate with their grade and MOS. Of note, This

section applies to SMCR units only. BIC assignment for the IMA is covered in

reference (g).

a. Assignments may be made one grade above or below that of the grade

required by the BIC, with the exception of Reserve colonels, who will only be

assigned to BICs requiring the grade of O-6, and sergeants major/first

sergeants, who will be assigned to an approved 8999 billet.

b. Personnel possessing a PMOS within the same OccFld may be assigned a

BIC with similar MOS qualifications when no vacancy exists for their

grade/MOS, e.g., an 0321 filling an 0311 BIC. A Marine serving in a BIC as

an acceptable MOS substitution does not preclude approval for DC M&RA (RAM)-

funded retraining.

c. Enlisted Marines with an additional MOS that is the PMOS for the BIC

they are filling will have the appropriate additional MOS run as a PMOS;

officers will have their additional MOS run as a PMOS by DC M&RA (RAM).

d. Two Marines are not authorized to fill the same BIC. In the case of

a 90-day turnover period in conjunction with HQMC-directed assignments, the

outgoing Marine will be ran in excess using the Excess Billet Identification

Code Indicator (EBI) “EX009”.

2. BIC Management

a. In situations where two Marines of the same grade and MOS belong to a

unit where only one BIC is open, the Marine with the greater obligated

service remaining will be reported in UD in the BIC. The other Marine will

be run in excess in accordance with reference (ad).

b. For the purposes of BIC assignment prioritization, Marines with a

mandatory drill participation stop date occurring in the current FY will be

considered the same as a non-obligor.

c. Marines that who are not a BIC match or who are rendered ineffective

due to legal, medical, or pending administrative separation will be run in

excess.

3. BIC Assignment Exception Policy. Varying from the T/O manpower

requirement negatively impacts unit readiness. Therefore, BIC assignment

exception requests will be held to a minimum and are subject to the

following:

a. The COMMARFORRES adjudicates BIC assignment exception requests for

enlisted Marines with the rank of E-7 and below. Exceptions to E-7 and below

BIC assignments will not exceed six months without DC M&RA (RAP) authority.

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

4-32 Enclosure (2)

b. DC M&RA (RA) adjudicates assignment exception requests for E-8s and

above.

c. Exceptions will not be approved for units that are over-strength

unless the unit is experiencing a critical leadership shortfall and the

Marine has the appropriate rank and MOS to augment the unit accordingly.

d. Reserve BICs with assignment exceptions applied to them will be

removed from the Needs Report and will not be subject to recruiting efforts.

e. Reserve BICs with assignment exceptions applied to them will not be

considered a match for reporting purposes.

e. COMMARFORRES adjudicates BIC assignment exception requests for

enlisted E-7 and below. DC M&RA (RA) adjudicates assignment exception

requests for E-8s and above.

4. BIC Reporting. Commanders shall ensure accurate and timely reporting of

Reserve BICs in MCTFS through the IDMS or the current system of record.

Marines without a BIC shall have an EBI reported in MCTFS, per reference

(ad).

Section 10: Transitioning Into, Within, and Outside the RC

1. Enlisted Specific

a. Transfer to the SelRes

(1) Enlisted members of the IRR are eligible for transfer to the SMCR

provided they are physically qualified and do not possess a disqualifying

Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) Code.

(2) Applications will be processed as follows:

(a) All PS applicants will be processed by a PSR. The PSR will

ensure PS joins meet the unit personnel requirements as outlined on the

appropriate T/O. Any PS joins not commensurate with grade and MOS on the T/O

must be authorized by the Reserve Affairs BIC assignment policy published

annually.

(b) I-I/Site Commanders/COs/OICs and their designated

representatives will ensure PS joins meet unit personnel requirements as

outlined on the appropriate T/O. The unit is responsible for providing the

applicant an orientation brief within the first 30 days of affiliation. The

orientation may be conducted by the I-I, site commander, the SMCR unit

CO/OIC, their designated representatives, or the IMA OpSponsor.

(c) The applicant will be interviewed by a unit representative

prior to being joined. The interview may be conducted by the I-I, Site

Commander, the SMCR unit CO/OIC, or their designated representatives, or the

IMA OpSponsor.

(c) The COMMARFORRES/MCIRSA will not exceed prescribed enlisted

end strengths without prior approval of DC M&RA (RA).

b. Transfer to the IRR

(1) Mandatory Participants

(a) Normally, mandatory participants will be retained in an SMCR

unit for the duration of the participation requirements contained in their

contracts. However, Marines with a remaining IDT obligation may be

transferred to the IRR upon written request from the member via the chain of

command to the COMMARFORRES using the format in Figure 4-9. Some of the more

common reasons are:

1. Excessive commuting distance (for more details see

Chapter 7, section 1 of this Order).

2. Foreign travel/residency in excess of 60 days (for more

details see Chapter 5, section 45 of this Order).

3. Civilian employment training.

4. Education conflict.

(b) Orders for mandatory participants transferred to the IRR

prior to the expiration of their MDPSD will include the following statement:

“As a mandatory participant you must reenlist/extend in the Marine Corps

Reserve for a total period of (years/months). This period is inclusive

of the time you are assigned to the IRR and the remaining unserved

portion of your statutory mandatory drilling obligation you incurred on

your initial entry into the Marine Corps Reserve. You are further

informed that you must re-affiliate by (date) to resume your mandatory

drilling obligation as required by Title 10, U.S.C. and MCO 1001R.1L. If

unable to re-affiliate by the specified date, you must notify the Dir

MCIRSA or former parent command. Failure to re-affiliate by the

specified date could result in administrative separation. If allowed to

transfer to the IRR for the duration of your contract you will

immediately notify the Dir MCIRSA of any changes in your status which

will allow you to resume your drilling obligation.”

(c) If the Marine does not have enough time on contract to

fulfill his obligation, a request will be submitted to DC M&RA (RA) via the

Total Force Retention System (TFRS) to extend or reenlist the Marine, as

required. The extension or reenlistment will take into consideration

remaining contractual drilling obligation and must be executed by the Marine

prior to transferring to the IRR. Upon approval of the extension or

reenlistment, MARFORRES/MCIRSA will be responsible to adjust the MDPSD within

MCTFS. The Reserve Component Code (RCC) will continue to reflect what the

Marine originally contracted for upon their initial enlistment into the SMCR.

(d) The Dir MCIRSA will establish procedures to monitor mandatory

participants assigned to the IRR to ensure they resume their MSO in the

SelRes once the period in the IRR has expired. Upon re-affiliation with an

SMCR unit and prior to transfer from the IRR, the MDPSD will be adjusted by

the Dir MCIRSA to reflect the entire period spent in the IRR.

(e) Requests for discharge may be approved by DC M&RA (MMSR) or

the general courts-martial convening authority (GCMCA) as directed by per

reference (z).

(2) Participants without an IDT Obligation

(a) Voluntary Transfer. COs/OICs/OpSponsors may transfer SMCR

participants not having an IDT obligation from the SMCR to the IRR upon

request of the individual.

(b) Involuntary Transfer

1. SMCR Unit Members. In no case will an SMCR Marine be

involuntarily transferred to the IRR without COMMARFORRES approval. The

COMMARFORRES may involuntarily transfer an enlisted Marine from the SMCR to

the IRR upon:

a. Completing prescribed tour length or any authorized

extensions or part thereof, as applicable, e.g., sergeants major/first

sergeants.

b. Failing to be approved for retraining within 90 days

from the date they no longer meet the MOS and grade requirements for the

billet to which they are assigned, unless waived by the COMMARFORRES in

accordance with section nine9 of this Chapter.

c. Exceeding billet grade as the result of promotion

except as provided in section nine9 of this Chapter.

d. Performing in an unacceptable manner. Refer to

sections two2 and three3 of this Chapter for additional guidance. In cases

where the Marine shows no potential for mobilization, the commander should

consider processing the Marine for administrative separation vice

involuntarily transferring to the IRR.

e. Unit deactivation, relocation, or loss of billet as a

result of reorganization if no other vacancies exist.

2. IMA Members. For IMA Marines, see reference (g).

(3) SMCR Marines (mandatory and non-mandatory participants)

transferred to the IRR will be issued orders per Figure 4-9. Only mandatory

participants transferred from the SMCR to the IRR will be required to sign a

receiving endorsement.

(4) Units transferring Marines to the IRR will ensure that a

certified true copy of the most recent DD 2808, “Report of Medical

Examination,” is placed in the Marine’sservice record/ESR along with the

transfer orders.

c. Transfer to the AR. AR qualifications and administrative

requirements are contained in reference (h).

d. Enlisted Inter-Unit Transfer (IUT)

(1) Mandatory Participants

(a) Upon changing permanent residence outside of reasonable

commuting distance from their present SMCR unit,

Marines with an IDT/AT obligation will be transferred to another SMCR unit

within a reasonable commuting distance of their new residence upon approval

of COMMARFORRES (G1). Unit commanders will join mandatory participants

regardless of grade/MOS or existing T/O vacancies provided:

1. Even if the Marine is authorized to perform EPD(s) at the

prospective new unit, the Marine’s current command will maintain DM reporting

responsibilities until all missed IDTs (in the preceding 12 months) are

resolved. A Marine may schedule the EDP with either the gaining unit

(subject to approval of the gaining unit commander) or their current unit.

Even if the Marine is authorized to drill at the prospective new unit, the

Marine’s current command will continue to report the required UD entries.

Only upon full resolution of all missed IDTs will the Marine be authorized to

transfer. Marines who do not schedule EDPs will be retained by the original

unit and processed as an unsatisfactory participant.

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

4-36 Enclosure (2)

2. A Marine whose transfer precludes attendance at the

regularly scheduled AT period of either the transferring or gaining unit will

schedule an alternate period of AT upon joining the new unit.

3. If a mandatory participant is not MOS qualified for a T/O

billet of the gaining unit, the unit CO/OIC will submit a request to DC M&RA

(RA) to have the member trained in an MOS on the unit T/O.

4. When there is more than one SMCR unit within reasonable

commuting distance, the mandatory participant will be joined to the unit for

which the Marine is most closely MOS qualified.

(b) Under no circumstances will a mandatory participant be

allowed to transfer to the IRR prior to the MDPSD without COMMARFORRES

approval. Mandatory participants still have an obligation under their MSO

and are subject to involuntary separation per reference (v). Should a

mandatory participant’s new residence be determined to be outside of a

reasonable commuting distance to an SMCR unit as defined in chapter 7,

section 1 of this Order, then the Marine may elect to submit a request for

transfer to the IRR to the COMMARFORRES via the appropriate chain of command

(see Figure 4-8). Calculation of a reasonable commuting distance shall

exclude gender restricted units or billets for female Marines.

(c) The Dir MCIRSA will closely monitor the home address primary

residence address of mandatory participants transferred to the IRR based on

excessive commuting distance. Should the Marine relocate to a new address

that is within a reasonable commuting distance of an SMCR unit, then the Dir

MCIRSA will notify COMMARFORRES (G1). MARFORRES will then issue orders to

the Marine, with a copy to the gaining unit, directing the individual to

report to the nearest SMCR unit. Should the Marine fail to report as

directed, the Dir MCIRSA will process the individual for involuntary

administrative separation per reference (z).

(2) Non-Mandatory Participants. Non-mandatory participants may

transfer to another SMCR unit provided they meet basic prerequisites for

reenlistment and unit BIC needs and the gaining unit commander recommends the

transfer upon approval by COMMARFORRES (G-1).

(3) Marines who are in a Temporarily Not Physically Qualified/Not

Physically Qualified (TNPQ/NPQ) status or in receipt of LOD benefits who

relocate to accept civilian employment or for educational reasons may execute

an IUT provided the gaining unit commander agrees to such a transfer.

(4) The transferring unit will mail a copy of IUT orders (Figure 4-

10), and service treatment records (STR) (which includes both medical and

dental records) of the Marines to the gaining unit per reference (f). For

those Marines affiliating with the IMA program, the records indicated above

along with a copy of the transfer orders will be forwarded to Dir MCIRSA,

2000 Opelousas Ave, New Orleans, LA 70146 70114.

e. Enlisted Inter-service Transfer

Marine Corps. Inter-service transfer requests will contain the gaining

Service’s statement indicating a word description of the OccFld into which

the member will be enlisted. If the member desires to become a commissioned

officer of the gaining RC, then a statement must be provided from the Officer

Selection Section or the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) unit (if

enrolled in an ROTC program). The DD 368, “Request for Conditional Release,”

does not fulfill this requirement and will be maintained at the unit until

final disposition is received.

(2) Requests for inter-service transfers for mandatory participants

will be submitted, per Figure 4-11, to the COMMARFORRES for determination

regardless of the component or branch of the Armed Forces to which the Marine

is requesting entry. Under no circumstances will an official document

authorizing transfer, such as the DD 368, be signed below the level of the

COMMARFORRES (G-1). Due to the 30-day processing requirement, submit DD 368

directly to the COMMARFORRES via the first O-5 level commander in the chain

of command.

(3) Requests for inter-service transfers for non-mandatory

participants of the SMCR units will be submitted, per figure 4-11, to the CG

commanders of their respective MSC for determination, regardless of the

component or branch of the Armed Forces to which the Marine is requesting

entry. Under no circumstances will an official document authorizing

transfer, such as the DD 368, be signed below the level of MSC Headquarters.

Due to the 30-day processing requirement, submit the DD 368 directly to the

respective MSC CG via the first O-5 level commander in the chain of command.

(4) Requests for inter-service transfers of mandatory participants of

the IRR or IMA Program will be submitted, per Figure 4-11, to the

COMMARFORRES for determination. Under no circumstances will an official

document authorizing transfer, such as the DD Form 368, be signed below the

level of the COMMARFORRES (G-1).

(5) All requests for inter-service transfer or augmentation for non-

mandatory participants of the IRR or IMA will be submitted, per Figure 4-11,

to the Dir MCIRSA for determination. Under no circumstances will an official

document authorizing transfer, such as the DD Form 368, be signed below the

level of the Dir MCIRSA.

(6) The gaining Service will be notified of the final disposition

within 30 days from the date of the member's request. Mandatory participants

who are members of the IRR for whatever reason-e.g., commuting distance,

religious missionary obligations-will submit their request to the

COMMARFORRES via Dir MCIRSA.

(7) Mandatory participants will execute a new enlistment contract for

that portion of the current MSO not yet served with the Marine Corps Reserve.

The gaining Service will provide to the losing command a copy of the new DD

Form 4, “Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United States,”

and a copy of the completed DD Form 368 to effect proper discharge authority.

the missionary obligation involves foreign travel/residency, the notification

will be submitted per the examples in Figure 4-14 (Sample Request for Foreign

Travel Less than 60 Days) or Figure 4-15 (Sample Request for Transfer to the

IRR due to Foreign Travel/Residency in Excess of 60 Days).

b. A mandatory participant must agree to transfer to the Standby Reserve

for the period of the religious obligation, and to resume SMCR participation

upon completion of that obligation. If the Marine fails to re-affiliate with

the SMCR upon completion of their religious obligation, they will be subject

4-42 Enclosure (2)

c. If the Marine does not have enough time on contract to fulfill his

obligation, a request will be submitted to DC M&RA (RA) via the TFRS to

extend or reenlist the Marine, as required. The extension or reenlistment

must be executed by the Marine prior to transfer. Upon re-affiliation with

an SMCR unit and prior to transfer from the IRR, the Dir MCIRSA will adjust

the MDPSD to reflect the entire period spent in the IRR. The RCC will

continue to reflect what the Marine originally contracted for upon his

initial enlistment in the SMCR.

d. Units joining Marines from a religious missionary obligation who did

not previously have their mandatory drilling obligation date extended by the

Dir MCIRSA will contact COMMARFORRES (G-1) to have the MDPSD adjusted for the

period that they were not a member of the SMCR. For example, if the member

was transferred to the IRR for two years and his original mandatory drill

participation stop drill date was 1 August 2015, that date would be extended

to 1 August 2017.

(2) Reserve Facts

1. This letter is sent to ensure you understand the laws and policies

governing your status in the United States Marine Corps Reserve.

2. Public Law (reference (a)) requires that commissioned officers remain in

the Reserve until completion of their Military Service Obligation (MSO).

Typically, that obligation is for a total of eight 8 years; mixed between

active and reserve service.

3. Our records show that you were commissioned a second lieutenant on DD MMM

YYYY and will complete 8 years of commissioned service on DD MMM YYYY. At

this time your MSO will be complete.

4. Upon completion of your MSO, you have several options. Think about the

experience you have to offer and what your service could mean to your fellow

Marines. I know that any decision to stay in the Corps is both very

important and very personal - one that has far reaching effects on both you

and your family. As our past Commandant has stated, “Our Nation is at war -

our Corps is at war - fighting a determined enemy bent on terror and

domination.” Make no mistake, it is a war we must win! Success by the enemy

will dramatically change the world as we know it, leaving a harsh environment

for our children and grandchildren to endure. Keep this in mind as you

consider these options:

a. Remain in the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR). Note that Public Law

requires officers to obtain 27 Reserve Retirement Points per year to be

retained in the IRR beyond their MSO. Officers who earn less than 27 Reserve

Retirement Points will be automatically transferred to the Inactive Status

List (ISL), unless resignation is sooner requested.

b. Request resignation of your commission. The earliest you may request

resignation is 14 months prior to the completion of your MSO. See enclosure

(1) for format.

c. Join a Selected Marine Corps Reserve (SMCR) unit, the Individual

listed in Marine Online (MOL), or contact the nearest Prior Service Recruiter

(PSR): www.mcrc.usmc.mil/G3/PSR. Enclosure (2) contains additional

information to help you in your decision.

5. While you serve in the IRR the following conditions apply:

a. Members of the IRR must provide the Dir MCIRSA with the following

information:

(1) Current mailing address Primary Residence Address,

(2) Civilian employment information (CEI),

(3) Changes to physical condition, and

(4) Changes to dependency status.

b. Mobilization of the IRR is authorized in time of war or national

emergency declared by Congress or when otherwise authorized by law.

6. If you have any questions regarding the information provided in this

letter, please contact (appropriate POC) at 1-800-255-5082, extension XXXX.

You are encouraged to submit all questions and documentation directly to

MARFORRES Customer Service Center (CSC) [[email protected]], MCIRSA.

You will receive a tracking number for your request, and periodic updates as

it is processed.

7. For a more in-depth review of your individual circumstances, you may

General Reserve Information and Administration

Section 1: General Information and Administration

1. Overview. Within this chapter and the following three chapters, general

and specific Reserve administration and information is presented. Common

information that pertains to two or more sub-components (SelRes, IRR, and

Standby Reserve) will be found within this Chapter. Functions that only

pertain to the SelRes will be found in Chapter 7, the IRR in Chapter 8, and

the Standby Reserve in Chapter 9.

2. Administrative Reviews

a. Audits shall be conducted in accordance with Chapter 12 of the MCTFS

Personnel Reporting Instruction User's Manual (MCTFS PRIUM).

b. Triennial Records Audit

(1) A formal review of a member’s administrative records will be

conducted at least triennially (every three years) or as applicable (i.e.,

pre-deployment and post-deployment).

(2) Auditing the SelRes will be accomplished by SMCR unit commanders

or, for IMA Marines, by MARFORRES (G-1) during the Reserve Marine’s

anniversary month or whenever circumstances dictate an audit.

(3) During an audit, the Marine’s Primary Residence, Basic Individual

Record/Basic Training Record (BIR/BTR), CRCR, Record of Emergency Data (RED),

Service member’s Group Life Insurance (SGLI), Family SGLI, Traumatic SGLI,

Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) information, and

Medical and Dental information will be audited, inspected, validated, and

certified.

(4) Additional audits, such as annual audits preceding unit AT, may

be conducted at any time as may be directed by the commander. See reference

(f), Chapter 5 for further guidance on audits.

c. Annual Administrative Screening. An administrative screening is a

less formal review and usually not as comprehensive as an audit. Screening

the SelRes will be accomplished annually by SMCR unit commanders or, for IMA

Marines, by MARFORRES (G-1) during the Marine’s anniversary month. IRR and

Standby Reserve members will be screened by MCIRSA. At a minimum, the

following records will be reviewed and certified during an administrative

screen: Primary Residence, CRCR, RED, SGLI, and Family SGLI.

d. Officer Screening. During this review, an officer’s CRCR will be

reviewed to ensure minimum Reserve retirement credits have been earned to

remain in an active status. See section 3 of this Chapter for additional

insight on the CRCR.

e. Separation Audit. Marines being transferred to the IRR will include

a review and update of the contact information reflected in their individual

record, RED, and SGLI. At a minimum, Marines must provide a Primary

requests RIDTs, and APDs.

(2) All Marines in SMCR units and the IMA program must register on

the M&RA website (www.manpower.usmc.mil) in order to be granted this user

role.

k. Figure 5-1 provides an overview of the typical Muster

Manager/Official and Approver actions associated with DM management.

3. User Role Written Authorization Documentation

a. With the exception of the standard user (drilling Reserve with no

specific permissions), the written authorization documentation for each user

role will be scanned into, and maintained within, DM.

b. The below documentation must be maintained within DM and the command

files for each role identified:

(1) Drill Manager (DM)

(a) The CO or OIC assigned in writing is the DM Manager. The CO

(Company, Squadron, or higher) must input a copy of the "assumption of

command" correspondence.

(b) COs, that grant this same permission require the designee to

upload DD Form 577 within DM.

(2) Approver. The CO assigned by assumption of command, or the IMA

OpSponsor designated by the Command appointment letter, is the Approver.

(3) Trusted Agent. Upload DD Form 577 within DMM.

(4) APD Manager. Upload the Assignment letter within DM.

(5) Muster Manager, Muster Official, Proxy, Reviewer, and Schedule

Creator. Upload the completed DD Form 577 within DMM.

(6) Standard User. No designation in writing required.

c. Assignment of roles to those who do not meet the rank requirements:

(1) M&RA (RA) approval must be provided in writing in order to waive

the rank requirements associated with a DM role, and the corresponding RA

waiver letter must be uploaded in DM to capture the waiver to policy.

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

5-9 Enclosure (2)

(2) All waivers must be provided to RA Division (RAP) for SMCR units

and to (RIM RAM-4) for IMA units not less than 30 days before the requested

assignment date. Waivers will not be approved for “Approver” or “Trusted

Agent” roles.

(3) Any user/authority without the required RA waiver in DMM will

have their permissions suspended.

d. All permission requests for IMAs will originate from the appointed

OpSponsor to MCIRSA.

4. IDT Accounting

a. Commanders are responsible for IDT accounting. When feasible, all

unit personnel will assemble for muster as a single group in one location.

The basic documents for IDT attendance accounting are the unit muster sheet

(UMS), the UD, and in the case of a telecommute; the telecommute request and

telecommute log. Refer to section 3 of Chapter 7, section 3 of this Order

for more guidance concerning telecommute documentation and authorization.

b. Unit Muster Sheet (UMS). The UMS within TFAS DM is the source

document substantiating IDT attendance for all paid and nonpaid IDTs. Only

one type of IDT will be reflected on any one UMS report. If members are

performing a combination of IDT types, a separate UMS report will be

completed for each type of IDT period.

(1) A member's presence will be recorded by an "X" in the block next

to the individual's name. All other personnel, including late arrivals, with

names appearing on the UMS will be recorded as absent with an "A" in the

appropriate block, unless they are not scheduled (NS) to attend IDT;

(2) Personnel NS for IDT will be marked "NS". Reserve Marines

performing courtesy drill with another command will be annotated as NS on the

parent command UMS. Reserve Marines who are on AD (ADOS, AT, IIADT, school,

etc.), or who have made arrangements for an RIDT prior to the scheduled IDT

will be annotated as NS. Additionally, Reserve Marines who are not required

to attend IDT within 60 days following release from AD from a period of

involuntary activation will also be annotated as NS. Following the NS,

annotate in the comments column of the muster sheet the reason, e.g., “RIDT:

(date),” "AT/ADOS (date) to (date)/(location)," or “Not required to perform

IDT following release from Involuntary Activation.” A Reserve Marine who

arranges to miss a unit IDT and does not schedule the RIDT prior to the IDT

is considered absent from the scheduled IDT. A reservist absent from an RIDT

will not be allowed to reschedule and shall be marked absent;

(3) Reservists participating in the “Toys for Tots” program should be

given wide latitude in the scheduling of IDTs in support of “Toys for Tots”

events. However, IDTs may only be used in support of “Toys for Tots” if

activity associated with the support is directly tied to a unit MET. The

CO/OIC/OpSponsor should be very flexible in allowing these Marines to RIDT

(if necessary) from regularly scheduled drills to support these events on

non-drill weekends. ADOS may not be utilized to support “Toys for Tots”

events;

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

5-10 Enclosure (2)

(4) Personnel no longer in the unit due to expiration of Reserve ECC,

requested transfer to the IRR, or approved IUT with an effective date prior

to the scheduled IDT will be marked as Non Member (NM) on the UMS;

(5) Absences, excused or unexcused, will be explained in the

“COMMENTS” column. TFAS DMM will feed reporting on the UD. The

CO/OIC/OpSponsor must make an immediate attempt to contact an unexcused

absent member and determine the reason for such absence. The

CO/OIC/OpSponsor will indicate in the “COMMENTS” column if the Marine will be

allowed to make-up the absences and whether it is they will be paid or

nonpaid.

(6) In cases of tardiness, an annotation will be made in the

“COMMENTS” column, and the CO/OIC/OpSponsor will indicate if the Marine will

be allowed to make-up the IDT period missed and whether it is will be paid or

nonpaid;

(7) If during a scheduled drill weekend, selected members of the unit

are scheduled to perform drills which overlap or are performed away from the

HTC, those members will be reflected on a separate muster sheet and annotated

as such on the main UMS. For example, if 10 members of a 100-member unit are

scheduled for a 5-drill weekend so they can go to the rifle range while the

rest of the unit is scheduled to perform only 4 drills that same weekend, the

10 members will be reflected on a separate muster sheet; and

(8) To minimize the impact on unit training and readiness, only one

muster per IDT period is required. This muster will be at the discretion of

the CO/OIC/OpSponsor. Units and sections will be accountable for the

whereabouts of their personnel at all times during the IDT period.

c. Reserve General Officers

(1) M&RA, Manpower Management Senior Leaders Branch (MMSL) is

responsible for Reserve general officer IDT accounting and personnel

administration.

(2) The general officer performing the IDT period will ensure the

muster sheet's administrative correctness and sign it to certify completion

of IDTs. Reserve general officers are not required to physically muster and

each Reserve general officer will be listed on a separate muster sheet.

(3) A facsimile copy scanned copy of the muster sheet may be sent to

M&RA (MMSL) at [email protected] for timely reporting on the UD and the

original should be maintained by the general officer for personal record

keeping.

d. IMA Marines

(1) Further details on the management and administration of IMAs is

provided in reference (g).

(2) The OpSponsor is responsible for the timely and accurate

reporting of their IMA's IDTs via DMM.

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

5-11 Enclosure (2)

(3) Multiple IDT periods may require multiple UMSs to account for all

periods of mustering.

e. Certification of UMS

(1) The Reserve CO/OIC/OpSponsor will certify each page of the UMS to

verify attendance/absence of Reserve Marines, after the final muster has been

taken. In the absence of the CO/OIC/OpSponsor, a trusted agent designated in

writing by the CO/OIC/OpSponsor will certify the UMS.

(2) For Reserve augment staffs, the respective MSCs may designate in

writing no more than three Reserve officers of the staff to certify

attendance/absence of Reserve Marines. In the absence of the Reserve staff

members, the Chief of Staff of the MSC or senior active duty G-l officer will

certify the UMS.

5. IDT Scheduling

a. Unit IDT schedules shall be prepared, published, and approved within

DMM by the CO, OIC, or designated representative by 1 December of each year.

The advanced schedule should provide adequate notice to their Marines, who

may then plan their activities to minimize disruptions to their families and

employers. In preparing IDT schedules, the CO or OIC must ensure that the

minimum four hour requirement is met for crediting the IDT with pay.

b. OpSponsors for IMAs/MTUs shall schedule IDT periods by mutual

agreement with their individual Marines a minimum 30 days prior to the

scheduled IDT.

c. IDT periods may be scheduled or rescheduled for an individual, unit,

or portions of a unit where necessary, to meet training requirements and

performance of missions.

(1) DM will not allow a local Commander below the Bn/Sqd level to

change or cancel a unit’s scheduled drill date.

(2) Rescheduled unit IDT periods shall be announced, scheduled, and

approved within DMM 30 days in advance to allow sufficient time for the

Marine to be advised of the change.

(3) Primary consideration in reaching a decision on rescheduling an

IDT period shall be the availability of the training for the member or unit,

and/or the benefit and convenience of the Government.

(4) IDT periods may be scheduled throughout the month, including

weekdays, as necessary for training and performance of the unit’s mission.

6. IDT Attendance

a. Tardiness at Muster. SMCR and IMA Marines who report late for muster

during an IDT period are considered absent from their IDT.

(1) Excused Tardiness. At the discretion of the CO/OIC/OpSponsor, a

Marine reporting for IDT tardy may be excused. If the tardiness is excused

and the Marine is engaged in training for at least two hours of the scheduled

four-hour IDT period, the individual concerned may be given Reserve

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

5-12 Enclosure (2)

retirement credit points; however, in accordance with reference (k) pay is

not authorized for IDT periods less than four hours.

(2) Unexcused Tardiness

(a) When tardiness is not excused by the CO/OIC/OpSponsor, the

IDT period will be designated as an unexcused absence, and the Marine will

not be authorized to participate in the remainder of that IDT period. When

multiple IDT periods are scheduled in conjunction with the IDT in question,

the Marine will be required to participate in all subsequent IDT periods.

(b) When an IDT period is designated as an unexcused absence

because of tardiness, the CO must determine whether the individual should be

given an opportunity to perform an EDP, either with pay (EIO) or without pay

(EIN), in order to satisfy participation requirement.

b. Absence After Muster

(1) Unsatisfactory Period. An IDT period will be declared

unsatisfactory if a Marine, having reported for muster, is subsequently

absent from the assigned place of duty without authority.

(2) Follow-up Action. Regardless of whether or not disciplinary

action is taken, Marines absent without authority from IDT may either be

granted an opportunity to perform an EDP to regain a satisfactory status or

have that period remain as unsatisfactory.

(3) Pay. Marines will be paid for IDT actually attended prior to the

time and date of absence, even if the IDT is subsequently declared

unsatisfactory, as long as the Marine was engaged in training for at least

four hours of the scheduled IDT period. Under no circumstances will IDT pay

be authorized for an IDT attended during which the Marine was not engaged in

at least four hours of training.

c. Absence from IDT

(1) Authority for Granting Excused Absences. The following

individuals may excuse absences from IDT for Reserve Marines:

(a) Reserve unit CO/OIC or designated representative;

(b) I-Is/site commanders in the absence of the officers listed

above;

(c) IMA OpSponsors or their designated representative; or

(d) Commanding Generals of MSCs or their designated

representative.

(2) Criteria for Granting Excused Absences. Excused absences may be

granted for a missed IDT when the absence is essential to the health or

welfare of the Marine or the Marine’s immediate family. The term immediate

family means the immediate family of either the member or spouse, including

parents, brothers, sisters, children, persons standing in loco parentis, or

only remaining next of kin. Excused absences may be granted for the

following reasons:

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

5-13 Enclosure (2)

(a) Illness or injury of the Marine prior to IDT when the

attending physician certifies that attendance at IDT would be detrimental to

the health or welfare of the Marine.

(b) Military medical determination of not fit for full duty by

way of identification as TNPQ/TNDQ-Non-Drill, NPQ, and LOD-Non-Drill cases.

Of note, Marines TNPQ should be provided every opportunity to drill. Upon

the unit commander requesting medical retention review and submission of NPQ

package to BUMED the SMCR Marine will no longer be required to perform any

IDT/ADT periods.

(c) A death or life-threatening illness in the Marine’s immediate

family.

(d) An emergency or circumstance whereby attendance at IDT would

create a serious and unusual hardship on either the Marine or the Marine’s

immediate family.

(e) Automobile accidents or incidents en route to the Reserve

Training Center (RTC).

(f) Severe inclement weather conditions or natural disasters

which prevent the Marine from either undertaking or completing the journey to

the RTC.

(g) Other reasons as determined by the unit commander.

(3) Considerations in Granting Excused Absences. Marines are not

required to make up excused absences. The determination will be based on the

circumstances involved. A Marine should be excused only from the IDT periods

directly affected. However, in order to maintain their mobilization

potential, all Marines should be encouraged to perform rescheduled IDTs in

lieu of excused absences whenever feasibly possible and when the rescheduling

of the respective IDT is accomplished in advance of the muster for the IDT.

(4) Procedures for Requesting Excused Absences

(a) Marines must request to be excused from anticipated absences

prior to the IDT period in question. Failure to do so may result in awarding

of an unexcused absence.

(b) Commanders may authorize an EDP for excused absences not to

exceed four paid EDPs per FY.

d. Rescheduled Inactive Duty Training (RIDT)

(1) An RIDT period is a period of training performed on dates other

than those scheduled for IDT. An RIDT must be requested by the Marine and

approved within DMM by the CO/OIC/OpSponsor or their designee in advance of

the scheduled IDT for which it is requested. Both the RIDT and the IDT it

replaces must be performed in the same FY. Marines who do not perform the

RIDT on the date scheduled will be reported as absent (excused or unexcused).

(2) The CO/OIC/OpSponsor will track all RIDT periods via the RIDT

Report in TFASDMM.

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

5-14 Enclosure (2)

(3) RIDT requests must be prepared, scheduled, and approved within

DMM upon conclusion of the previous drill. RIDT for emergencies may be

scheduled and approved after the previous drill on a case-by-case basis;

however, they must be approved within DMM prior to the scheduled IDT.

(4) Marines failing to report for RIDT on the approved rescheduled

date will be considered absent (either excused or unexcused). DMM no longer

has the capability to reinstate previously cancelled RIDTs and an RIDT may

not be rescheduled. RIDT cannot be “rescheduled”, but an “absence” can be

made up with an EIO/EIN.

e. EDP

(1) An EDP is a period of instruction or duty, not less than four

hours in duration, performed in connection with duties pertaining to the

Marine Corps. Such duty may be paid, designated an “EIO”, or unpaid,

designated an “EIN”. EDPs (both EIOs and EINs) may be performed by either a

Reserve officer or enlisted Marine.

(2) An EDP may be performed to resolve an IDT for which the Marine

received an excused or unexcused absence. An EIN may be performed to resolve

IDT periods which have been declared unsatisfactory.

(3) Paid EDPs must be performed within 60 calendar days after the

missed IDT, and within the same FY as the missed IDT. EDPs performed in a FY

other than that in which the IDT was scheduled will be performed without pay.

(4) There is no limit to the number of EDPs that may be authorized;

however, payment for such periods will be limited to two per day and a total

of four per FY. Nonpaid EDPs may be performed only for absences within the

previous 12 months.

(5) The combination of regular IDT and EDPs with pay will not exceed

a total of 48 in any FY, with the exception of reserve general officers who

may perform up to 60 IDT periods per FY.

(6) An EDP may not be performed on a day on which two other IDT

periods are performed, but may be performed when only one IDT period, is

performed.

(7) For IMA Marines, OpSponsors or their designated representative

may authorize payment for performance of EDPs. Members of the Reserve

augment staffs will be authorized by the respective or designated

representative.

(7) Payment may not be made for EDPs performed to make up for paid

IDTs that were declared unsatisfactory.

(8) Marines should be given the opportunity to perform EDPs in lieu

of being processed as unsatisfactory participants. EDPs performed will be

credited to the oldest IDT requiring resolution within the previous 12

months.

(9) EDPs will be scheduled and approved within DMM.

f. Multiple Periods of IDT

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

5-15 Enclosure (2)

(1) At the unit commander’s discretion, and as manpower funding

supports, Marines who join a drilling reserve unit after the commencement of

the FY will be allowed to complete up to 48 IDT periods within the remaining

FY. For example: A Marine joins from IADT or the AC on 1 August. The

Marine would be authorized to perform 40 IDT periods in addition to the 8

regularly scheduled IDT periods prior to 1 October. IDT periods are not to

be confused with RIDT periods. Additional paid IDT periods are also

authorized in conjunction with the 48 authorized IDT periods. This scenario

may also apply to IMAs.

(2) COs/OICs are required to schedule all drills for a new Marine who

joins a command after the commencement of the FY in DMM within 60 days from

unit join date.

g. IDT while in a Travel Status

(1) IDT credit while in a travel status may only be granted when a

unit/individual first musters at the RTC, receives instructions and then

travels to the off-site IDT location (if the unit/individual is in receipt of

IDT travel orders see paragraph (2) below, along with its sub-paragraphs).

The most typical example of the aforementioned policy is when a unit conducts

a multiple IDT period of five or more IDTs in order to participate in a field

exercise or rifle range training at a site other than the RTC. For example

Unit RTC, San Diego, CA:

1800 Friday Muster at RTC (5 IDT weekend)

2000 Friday Depart for Field FIREX at 29 Palms

(IDT credit authorized during travel)

2300 Friday Arrive 29 Palms

Sat/Sun Field FIREX

1200 Sunday Depart 29 Palms for RTC

(IDT credit authorized during travel)

1500 Sunday Arrive RTC

1800 Sunday Secure from IDT

(2) Off-site IDT Periods

(a) Marines directed to perform IDT periods away from the RTC

will be entitled to Temporary Duty/ Temporary Additional Duty (TDY/TAD)

allowances (Per Diem and Travel) as prescribed in reference (ar).

(b) IDT credit will not be authorized while in a travel status

under TDY/TAD orders unless travel under TDY/TAD orders commences from the

RTC.

(c) MROWS Orders will be issued to those Marines in the

performance of the off-site drill. In addition to orders, a UMS must also be

completed on those Marines to account for the individual's muster periods.

Additionally, a travel itinerary including times of departure and arrival

must be submitted and attached to the UMS, IDT Travel Orders and DD 1351-2,

“Travel Voucher or Subvoucher,” for the accurate reporting of Personnel Tempo

(PERSTEMPO) and determination of IDT Pay/Credit. This should be an official

travel itinerary provided by a Commercial Travel Office (CTO) (Ravenel

Travel, SATO Travel, etc.)

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

5-16 Enclosure (2)

(d) Per paragraph 7365 C.2. of reference (as), when the member

travels directly from the home/assigned unit to the TDY station,

reimbursement is limited to the travel cost from the assigned unit to the TDY

station.

(e) Per pararagph 7365 b.2.b. of reference (as), when the member

travels between home and an alternate duty/work site, TDY mileage is paid

only for the distance that exceeds the distance from home to the assigned

unit since the member is financially responsible for travel from home to the

assigned unit.

(f) For example Unit RTC, San Diego, CA:

1200 Friday Marine departs from home to local airport

to attend 5 IDT off-site in Boise, ID

1600 Friday Arrive Boise, ID

(IDT credit not authorized during travel.

Travel and per diem authorized)

1800 Friday Muster, Boise, ID (Commence IDT)

Sat/Sun IDT Boise, ID

1600 Sunday Secure from IDT. Depart Boise, ID

(IDT credit not authorized during travel.

Travel and per diem authorized)

2000 Sunday Arrive home

Note: Prior to ordering a Marine to an off-site IDT, CO/OICs must take into

consideration the time and distance required to complete the travel. Due to

the geographic dispersion of MARFORRES, in some instances, off-site IDT may

not provide a Marine with appropriate compensation for time lost from

civilian employment, school, etc. Accordingly, CO/OICs should consider

utilization of ADOS and plan accordingly.

h. IDT in Conjunction with AT/ADOS

(1) For those Reserve Marines who reside within the Corporate City

Limits reasonable commuting distance of the duty location, IDT is authorized

to be performed either before or after AT/ADOS.

(2) Those Reserve Marines residing outside of the Corporate City

Limits reasonable commuting distance of the duty location may only perform

IDT after the period AT/ADOS. Performance of IDT following AT/ADOS enables

the Marines to retain their return travel entitlements upon completion of the

period of IDT.

General Reserve Information and Administration

Section 3: Career Retirement Credit Report (CRCR)

1. CRCR Functions

a. Chronological Participation. The CRCR summarizes retirement credit

points earned towards retirement eligibility and retired pay for the Marine’s

entire career. However, retirement and retired pay are not the only

functions of the CRCR, as the CRCR also measures a Marine’s chronological

participation.

b. The CRCR is an important tool utilized by selection boards to measure

a Marine’s activity in the Marine Corps Reserve. The CRCR is considered by:

(1) Statutory selection boards.

(2) Non-statutory selection boards (i.e., PME, Reserve Command, AR

selection, SNCO promotion selection).

(3) Reenlistment evaluators.

(4) Sections responsible for screening and evaluating requests for

assignment to active duty.

2. ARCR and CRCR Certification Process

a. Annual certification of a Marine’s CRCR may be accomplished via the

member’s reporting unit or through self-certification using MOL. If

certification is completed by the reporting unit, the reporting of the

member’s CRCR certification must be completed within 120 days of the audit.

If certification has been completed via self-certification using MOL, the

reporting unit will print the CRCR, make annotations and file it in the

member’s electronic service record (ESR) per reference (f). The ARCR and

CRCR certification process for the various categories are outlined below.

Note: Notification to the member via MOL will persist until certification by

the reporting unit or member is successfully completed.

b. It is essential that a Marine’s CRCR accurately reflect all ID and

active duty AD training performed. For Marines ordered to active duty AD in

excess of 30 days, the CRCR must be screened and corrected prior to assigning

the Marine to active duty. It is critical that this screening be

accomplished so that the member’s Armed Forces Active Duty Base Date (AFADBD)

is calculated by MCTFS based on the information contained in the Marine’s

CRCR.

c. IRR and IMA Marines Process

(1) IRR and IMA Marines will be notified of annual CRCR certification

requirements in MOL. It is imperative that each IRR and IMA Marine certify

their CRCR via MOL.

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

5-18 Enclosure (2)

(2) If corrections are warranted, after reviewing the CRCR, the

Marine will print out a copy of the CRCR and draw a thin-inked line (using

black ink) through each item of information, hand write the correct

information, and then initial each correction.

(3) Submissions for correction of the CRCR can be submitted to MCIRSA

CMFR IPAC via the MOL EPAR module.

(4) The Dir MCIRSA is no longer required to mail out CRCRs to IRR

members for certification.

(5) Upon release from active duty, all Marines are required to be

given a period of instruction on MOL and the requirements to update and

certify the CRCR annually.

(6) The Dir MCIRSA CMFR has the capability to update current,

previous, and historical retirement data contained in the MCTFS master

record.

d. SMCR Unit Process

(1) SMCR Unit Marines will also be notified of annual CRCR

certification requirements in MOL. In addition to the MOL notifications to

the individual member, reporting units are to provide the Marine with an ARCR

and CRCR for review and certification within 30 days of their anniversary

date.

(2) MOL will continue to notify the member of their requirement to

certify until such time the CRCR date is updated either via MOL by the member

completing the certification or via MCTFS entry if the certification is

completed by the reporting unit.

(3) Reporting units receive UD advisories identifying Marines who

have not certified their ARCRs and CRCRs within 120 days of the anniversary

date.

(4) If corrections are warranted, the Marine will draw a thin-inked

line (using black ink) through each item of information, hand write the

correct information, and then initial each correction. The annotated CRCR

must be accompanied by supporting documentation (i.e., muster sheets, orders,

or historical NAVMC 798, “Reserve Retirement Credit Report (1610))”) to

substantiate each correction.

(5) SMCR reporting units have the capability to update current and

previous year's data. Historical data corrections must be submitted to

COMMARFORRES (G-1) for appropriate action.

e. AR Process

(1) AR Marines will also be notified of annual CRCR certification

requirements in MOL. In addition to the MOL notifications to the individual

member, reporting units are to provide AR Marines with the ARCR and CRCR for

review, certification, and signature within 30 days of receipt by the command

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

5-19 Enclosure (2)

(after the Marine’s anniversary date). Copies of ARCR and CRCR are also

available on-line through MOL.

(2) If corrections are warranted, the Marine will draw a thin-inked

line (using black ink) through each item of information, hand write the

correct information, and initial each correction.

(a) The unit commander will forward the audited CRCR to Manpower

Informational Systems Support Office (MISSO-16/17) for input with a cover

letter certifying the information is correct.

(b) The annotated CRCR must be accompanied by supporting

documentation (i.e., muster sheets, orders, or historical NAVMC 798) to

substantiate each correction.

(c) Once corrective action is taken by MISSO-16/17, a new CRCR

will be generated for the Marine's signature and distributed.

3. Distribution

a. The original signed CRCR will be retained in the Marine’s ESR and one

copy will be provided to the Marine for their personal records.

b. The ARCR will be returned to the Marine.

specified in the orders unless sooner released by proper authority.

Activities will notify the parent command when a Reserve Marine is released

early.

e. Travel Orders

(1) Reserve Marines assigned to active duty AD with or without pay

will be advised that orders are valid, and that orders indicate a duty status

only during the period of duty indicated by the orders. This is paramount in

determining benefits in case of injury or death while traveling to or from

the training site. If these conditions are unacceptable, the Marine must

return the orders to the issuing activity. The Marine will be instructed

regarding this stipulation prior to issuance of orders.

(2) Unless explicitly authorized by M&RA (RA), in no instance will a

Marine execute orders or commence travel without being in receipt of

signed/authenticated copy of original MROWS orders authorizing duty/travel.

4. Host Activity Facilities

a. Reserve Marines on active duty AD may use host facilities on the same

basis as members of the AC.

b. Exchange and commissary privileges are discussed in Chapter 12 of

this Order.

5. Leave and Liberty

a. Liberty will be granted at the discretion of the CO/OIC/I-

I/OpSponsor.

b. When a Reserve Marine participates in a tour of active duty AD for 30

consecutive days or more, leave is accrued at the rate of 2.5 days per month.

Reference (au) provides additional guidance.

c. Orders will not typically be extended to accommodate leave accrued as

the Reserve Marine is not limited to the Lump Sum Leave (LSL) cap of 60 days

when serving on active duty AD for less than 365 days as detailed in

reference (ac).

d. As expanded explained upon in reference (au), an RC member being

separated or released from a period of active service under honorable

conditions with an accrued leave balance may elect to carry over any

accumulated leave to the next period of active service where the member will

be entitled to earn leave. Balances of leave carried forward are subject to

the accumulation limits as prescribed in section 701 of reference (c).

e. Leave and liberty guidance for Marines attending formal schools

training. At the local commander’s discretion, reserve students may be

authorized options for annual and/or holiday block leave. The three options

(outlined below) are: request leave, participate in Permissive Temporary

Additional Duty (PTAD), or remain behind and report to the TCOM’s staff.

(1) Leave

(a) While leave should be carefully managed by each Marine, when

attending entry-level schools, the local leadership must provide proper

guidance to ensure Reserve students do not incur a negative leave balance at

the end of the active duty AD training period.

(b) In accordance with reference (au), leave approved by the

local chain of command should be scrutinized so that the member will not

exceed the forecasted leave accrued days.

1. When a Reserve Marine incurs a negative leave balance,

they incur a subsequent indebtedness to the Government upon checking into

their Reserve unit, which may result in a financial hardship for that Marine.

2. Since Reserve Marines do not accrue leave in a drilling

status, they typically will not be able to offset a negative leave balance,

and will ultimately have their pay checked for future participation.

3. As suchTherefore, the appropriate amount of authorized

leave days should not exceed the number of accrued leave days by the end of

training.

(2) Permissive Temporary Assigned Duty (PTAD). The opportunity for

Marines to take PTAD should be made available by the local training command

to participate in Permissive Recruiter Assistance Support Program (PRASP),

Reserve Recruiter Aide (RAID), or report to their assigned Reserve unit’s

Home Training Center (HTC) to assist the I-I staff as required. All travel

and lodging will be at the expense of the member, as no additional pay or

entitlements will be authorized or provided by the Government. Of note,

Prior coordination is required prior to execution.

(a) PRASP. In accordance with reference (ay) any Marine who

volunteers and is assigned as a recruiter assistant while in the entry-level

training pipeline (PRE/POST MCT), or awaiting Military Occupational Specialty

(MOS) MOS training).

(b) RAID. In accordance with reference (as), Reservists may be

brought on active duty for a period up to 179 days at a time to perform

functions of a recruiter aide. Although this program is not considered

command recruiting in nature, it has been added to this Order as a second

third point of reference and so that the program disparities may be explained

in detail.

(3) Remain behind. Members that desire to remain at the training

location will report to the designated chain of command as required and

participate in the locally published holiday routine.

6. Performance Evaluations

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

5-23 Enclosure (2)

a. Fitness reports (FitRep). FitReps will be prepared for all sergeants

and above per the instructions and timelines contained in reference (am).

b. Proficiency and Conduct Marks. Proficiency and conduct marks will be

assigned for all corporals and below per the instructions contained in

reference (j).

7. In Progress Payment (IPP)

a. An IPP is an incremental payment issued to a Reserve Marine for

active duty AD performed prior to the completion of the entire period of

active duty AD.

b. An IPP will be initiated by a UD entry in MCTFS for any active duty

AD period of 30 days or less in duration to include periods of AT duty.

c. For SMCR unit Marines, the scheduling of an IPP must be coordinated

with the parent reserve unit of the drilling Marine.

d. For members of the IRR and IMA, the scheduling of an IPP must be

coordinated with Dir MCIRSA.

Chapter 6

Medical and Dental

Section 1: Medical

1. General Medical/Physical Requirements

a. Reserve Component. All RC Marines are subject to periodic medical

readiness evaluations. These medical readiness evaluations are referred to

as Preventive Health Assessments (PHAs). In the performance of PHAs, medical

representatives should request VA disability rating information from

supporting administrative personnel in order to make a full and complete

readiness assessment. In accordance with reference (ci), it is recommended

that medical personnel use the VA disability rating as an additional PHA

component whenever a determination for physical fitness is required.

(1) VA disability ratings will never solely be used to disqualify

Reserve Marines from unit affiliation.

(2) Units will not request Reserve Marines who are eligible for VA

benefits to forego VA health care in order to serve in the Ready Reserve.

b. Ready Reserve. Section 10206 of reference (c) requires that each

member of the SelRes (SMCR and IMA), who is not on active duty, have a

comprehensive medical readiness health and dental assessment on an annual

basis, including routine annual preventive health care screening.

Additionally, references (ba) and (bb) require an annual PHA to be completed.

(1) For members of the SelRes, physical examinations and/or annual

PHAs will be conducted as required by Chapter 15 of reference (bc) and in

references (ba) and (bb). Physical examinations will be conducted as

follows:

(a) Upon entry to enlisted or commissioned active duty.

(b) As required.

(2) For Marines of SMCR units, the COMMARFORRES will establish

policies and procedures for all health care matters to include physical

examinations and submission of annual PHAs. The COMMARFORRES will also

develop Standing Operating Procedures for Medical matters (SOP for Medical)

which will serve as the primary directive for a Medical Department

Representative (MDR) assigned to an SMCR unit or site.

(3) Reserve Marines in a flight status will receive a complete

Aeromedical Examination at ages 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50. After age

50, the exams will be completed annually or more often as deemed necessary by

higher authority. During the years that a complete Aeromedical Examination

is not required, an Abbreviated Aeromedical Examination will be performed.

Frequency of physical examinations for other special-duty personnel such as

weapons handlers will comply with reference (bc).

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

6-2 Enclosure (2)

(4) Marines with no further MSO who fail to comply with a request to

complete a physical examination will be transferred to the Standby Reserve

involuntarily upon the approval of the COMMARFORRES.

(5) For IRR and IMA personnel, the Dir MCIRSA will establish

procedures to fulfill physical examination requirements.

(6) For members of the IRR to include MTUs, a completed DD Form 2807-

1, “Report of Medical History,” with supporting medical documentation will be

submitted to MCIRSA Medical Section every two years to determine the Marine’s

physical fitness for:

(a) Military duty or promotion,

(b) Attendance at a school of the Armed Forces,

(c) Reenlistment/extension, or

(d) Other action related to career progression.

If the form indicates the possibility that a member may be unfit, the Dir

MCIRSA will take necessary action to determine the member's physical fitness

for retention, per the guidance contained in this Chapter.

c. Standby Reserve

(1) Marines in the Standby Reserve (ASL or ISL) shall execute and

submit a DD Form 2807-1 to the Dir MCIRSA Medical Section every two years.

(2) The kind of duty to which a Reserve Marine ordered to active duty

AD may be assigned shall be considered in determining physical qualifications

for active duty AD.

d. ADT

(1) Physical qualifications. To be physically qualified for ADT a

Marine must:

(a) Have a current physical and PHA on file. A Reserve Marine

under the age of 50 must have a completed medical examination within the

previous five years. Marines over the age of 50 must have a completed

physical every two years, and Marines over the age of 60 must have one every

year;

(b) Be physically qualified as determined by a competent medical

representative on the day the AD commences or the individual certification to

verify current physical qualification. However, if an RC member has a

current LOD, then coordination must be made with the RMED program manager’s

office. If a member is in TNPQ/Temporarily Not Dentally Qualified (TNDQ)

status, refer to Chapter 6, paragraph 2d of this Order.

(c) Marines applying for EAD for a period 30 days or more, or ADT

for over 30 days in any capacity, must meet the HIV testing requirements as

are expanded upon in paragraph 4 of this section.

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

6-3 Enclosure (2)

2. Medical Status

a. Classifications. Reserve Marines are medically classified as either

Fit for Full Duty, TNPQ, TNDQ, NPQ, or LOD.

If a Service member receives a diagnosis from a military or civilian medical

provider indicating that gender transition is medically necessary, the member

should coordinate with their chain of command. Commanders should consult

reference for further guidance.

b. Marines will not be joined to an SMCR unit or IMA detachment nor

perform any category of AD or IDT in excess of 30 days when found not fit for

full duty per current regulations with the exception of IUT as approved by

COMMARFORRES (G1).

c. Ready Reserve members with abnormal results of any aspect of the

physical examination or PHA will be referred to their civilian health care

provider (at the Marine's expense) for further evaluation. SelRes members

will be placed in a TNPQ status per Chapter 6, paragraph 2.d, and IRR members

will be placed in a NPQ status per Chapter 6, paragraph 2.f. A determination

from the local commander regarding the service connection must be made at the

time any medical condition is reported to the Marine’s chain of command.

d. Temporarily Not Physically Qualified (TNPQ), Temporarily Not Dentally

Qualified (TNDQ) (Non-Service Connected Medical Conditions). A Marine may be

classified as TNPQ when the Marine is not in a duty status and develops a

medical condition or becomes injured. Dental Class III personnel will be

placed in a TNDQ status for the management and tracking of dental treatment.

The following guidelines apply to Marines who are TNPQ/TNDQ:

(1) The Marine is responsible for notifying the CO/OIC/I-I/OpSponsor

within five days after an injury or illness has occurred. Documentation from

the Marine's attending physician must be provided to the unit not later than

the next scheduled drill following the diagnosis of the injury, illness, or

condition. If documentation is mailed to the Reserve center, the use of

certified mail is strongly recommended. All medical expenses incurred will

be borne by the Marine. Medical documentation must identify the diagnosis,

treatment plan, recommended physical limitations, and prognosis of recovery.

(2) Upon receipt of the documentation and authorization by the

Marine’s CO/OIC/I-I/OpSponsor, the MDR will prepare a letter of instruction

notifying the Marine that he or she is either in a TNPQ/TNDQ-Non-Drill status

or in a TNPQ/TNDQ-Drill status. The letter of instruction should outline the

conditions of participation to be followed during the period of TNPQ/TNDQ.

As much as possible, Marines who are TNPQ/TNDQ should remain in a drilling

status. However, Marines should not be placed in a drilling status if

participation will aggravate the member’s injury or illness. TNPQ/TNDQ

policy is ultimately the responsibility of the COMMARFORRES, and current

MARFORRES policy should be referenced for further guidance.

(3) To ensure the commander and MDR are kept informed of the Marine’s

status, the Marine is required to provide medical documentation every 30 days

from his/her attending physician. Failure to comply with this requirement

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

6-4 Enclosure (2)

may result in administrative action including, but not limited to,

administrative separation and/or reduction in grade (enlisted Marines).

(4) Marines may not perform any type of ADOS or ADT greater than 30

days as defined in this Order, while in a TNPQ/TNDQ status.

(a) The CO/OIC/I-I/OpSponsor may authorize ADOS or ADT less than

30 days, if the Marine provides medical documentation stating such

participation will not aggravate the medical condition/injury.

(b) If the Marine’s unit performs an off-site drill or active

dutyAD, the Marine may accompany the unit if, in the opinion of the MDR, such

participation will not aggravate the injury or illness. Off-site drills or

active duty AD can also be rescheduled or performed at the HTC.

(5) Reserve Marines should be given an initial period of 90 days six

months upon assignment to TNPQ in order to return to a full duty status. At

the end of this period, if the treating physician believes that with ongoing

therapy the patient will make a complete recovery within a second period of 6

months (180 days), then the second period may be granted. The Marine must be

referred to a PEB no later than 12 months after being granted TNPQ. Marines

will may be afforded two additional 30 day periods prior to being be referred

through the MEB/PEB MRR process to BUMED (M9) for an informal PEB and NPQ fit

or unfit for continued naval service determination. Marines may be

classified as TNPQ not to exceed 150 days one year until submission of a

package for NPQ determination is required. While in a TNPQ status, a package

for NPQ determination may be submitted at any time if the medical condition

is of a permanent nature.

(6) Members assigned to the IRR are not authorized to be in a

TNPQ/TNDQ status (see Chapter 6, paragraph 2f of this Order for NPQ

procedures).

(7) If it appears that the disqualifying factor is of a more

permanent nature, then the medical/dental officer and reserve activity shall

initiate fitness evaluation proceedings by forwarding the appropriate medical

documentation to Director, Physical Qualifications and Review (MED-32),

Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED), for consultation and determination,

via COMMARFORRES (HSS). Due to the time sensitivity of the medical

documentation to be reviewed, no other via addressees are required.

Information copies forwarded throughout the chain of command are encouraged.

(8) Upon completion of treatment, a release from the attending

physician providing medical care certifying the member’s ability to perform

all duties without restrictions will be submitted to the CO/OIC/I-I/OpSponsor

for review by the MDR. The medical documentation must state “RETURN TO FULL

DUTY WITH NO LIMITATION.” This will also be documented in the member’s

health treatment record.

e. Line of Duty (LOD) Benefits (Service Connected Medical Conditions).

LOD benefits is a documented authorization to qualifying Marines for an

injury, illness, or disease which occurred in the line of duty, during a

period of IDT or active duty (for 30 days or less) and requires continued

medical care beyond the period of the IDT or active duty AD orders during

MCO 1001R.1L

which the incident occurred. Medical or dental care may be provided at a

military, veterans, or civilian medical or dental facility. References (bd),

(bc), (bf), and (bg) provide detailed guidance on the applicability and

eligibility for benefits to members.

(1) Marines injured while on IDT or active duty AD orders 30 days or

less (AT, ADT, ADOS) will not have their orders terminated due to

incapacitation but shall become entitled to LOD benefits at the end of their

orders. Active duty AD orders of 30 days or less (to include AT orders) will

only be extended when a member is hospitalized at the time the orders are due

to expire. The orders will be modified through the date of discharge from

the medical facility. Orders will not be modified to extend the injured

Marine beyond 30 days active duty AD to circumvent LOD processing.

(2) An LOD benefit, if granted, will address an injury, illness, or

disease incurred or aggravated between the time the Marine leaves his primary

residence, with the intent to travel directly to the designated IDT location

and until the Marine returns to the primary residence along the most direct

route.

(3) The Marine Corps Medical Entitlements Data System (MCMEDS) is an

automated process for all Marine Corps Reserve reporting units to submit,

update, and track LOD requests on-line. LOD requests are to be submitted to

CMC (WWR/RMED) via MCMEDS. Detailed instructions on the use of MCMEDS can be

found within the MCMEDS application upon receipt of user access from CMC

(WWR/RMED).

(4) Requests for LOD benefits must be submitted within 10 days of the

injury being reported to the Marine’s chain of command. Requests must

include a Privileges & Responsibility Statement, medical notes from the date

of injury that demonstrate the method/mode of injury, and verification of a

duty period by presenting active duty AD orders or IDT accountability muster

sheets. Requests outside of the normal parameters must contain justification

from the Marine’s CO/I-I/OpSponsor.

(5) CMC (WWR/RMED) will determine the Marine’s requirement to

continue in a drilling or non-drilling status and report the appropriate

MCTFS entries to reflect this drilling status. Commanders may excuse Marines

in an active drilling status on a case-by-case basis but must make every

effort to allow the Marine to perform ID periods in a light duty capacity,

commensurate with their limitations.

(6) Marines assigned LOD benefits are required to provide monthly

updates that include all treatment notes completed while in receipt of

benefits. If the Marine fails to provide monthly updates containing complete

treatment notes the CO should counsel the Marine accordingly to ensure

compliance with this requirement. Marines who continue to fail in providing

medical documentation while in an LOD status may have their LOD benefits

terminated due to this noncompliance.

(7) LOD benefits will be issued for periods of 6 months or less by

CMC (WWR/RMED). If a Marine requires extension of LOD benefits beyond the

initial or subsequent period issued by CMC (WWR/RMED) then an extension

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

6-6 Enclosure (2)

request must be submitted 30 days prior to the established expiration date of

benefits in order to continue medical and pay benefits without interruption.

(8) Dependents of Reserve Marines ordered to, or retained on, active

duty AD for 31 days or more are entitled to medical treatment in a military

hospital or by TRICARE coverage. To preclude denial of medical treatment or

nonpayment of a TRICARE claim, the unit commander will authorize that DD Form

1172, “Application for a Uniformed Services Identification and Privilege Card

– Deers Enrollment” be completed for enrollment of dependents in DEERS.

Failure to properly enroll a Marine’s dependents in DEERS may result in the

denial of dependent care in a military hospital and delayed payment of a

legitimate TRICARE claim.

f. Not Physically Qualified (NPQ). A Marine will be placed in a NPQ

status upon determination made by BUMED Wounded, Ill and Injured (M9).

Submit all extension/retention packages to the Special Assistant for Physical

Qualifications and Review, Department of the Navy, BUMED (M3F1), 2300 E

Street NW, Washington, DC 20372-5300, via the chain of command and

COMMARFORRES (HSS). Each request should contain a current PHA and all

supporting documents associated with the disqualifying factor.

(1) Article 18-23 of reference (bc) and references (bh) and (z)

provide additional guidance.

(2) Marines are not permitted to perform AD or IDT once an NPQ

determination is made. The CO/OIC/I-I/OpSponsor may permit a Marine awaiting

a final NPQ determination to perform IDT if the MDR determines the

participation will not aggravate the member’s injury or illness by assigning

the Marine to either a TNPQ-Drill or LOD-Drill status.

(3) Upon approval of separation for NPQ Marines, notification of the

pending separation must be made to the Marine. The Marine will acknowledge

and elect one of the following items:

(a) Accept the non-service connection medical separation.

(b) Not accept the non-service connected medical separation and

request for reserve retirement.

(c) Not accept the non-service connected medical separation and

request a formal consideration before the Physical Evaluation Board (PEB).

If elected, the unit will coordinate the request for a formal PEB with

COMMARFORRES (HSS). Not accept the non-service connected medical separation

and appeal the NPQ decision to the President of the PEB. The PEB President

will return a fit or unfit decision. The Service member will not be eligible

or considered for a medical retirement.

g. TNPQ/TNDQ/NPQ Administration. Coordination must be made with the

unit medical and administrative personnel to ensure that the appropriate UD

transactions and Medical Readiness Reporting System (MRRS) updates are made

in a timely manner. Strength category, duty limitation, and physical risk

codes must be reported in MCTFS on all Reserve Marines in a TNPQ/TNDQ/NPQ

status.

(a) In accordance with references (bg) and (bd), Reserve Marines

who are on active duty AD for 31 days or more will not typically be required

to be released from active duty until found physically qualified by the

Medical Treatment Facility (MTF) or other proper authority. Coordination

with WWR and M&RA (RAP-3) is required before Medical Hold (MEDHOLD) orders

will be issued.

(b) All MEDHOLD requests will be routed through MCMEDS for

approval by WWR/RMED.

(c) Upon recommendation of an appropriate health care provider

fit to separate from active duty AD, will have their current orders

terminated on the date deemed NPQ.

(d) MEDHOLD orders will be issued “back to back” beginning the

following day the current orders were terminated citing MEDHOLD funding using

PID “MED”. An EAS of Convenience of Government Medical (COFGM) will be

promptly reported via MCTFS.

(e) In the event a Marine is found to be “not physical qualified

fit to separate” for release from active duty AD, MEDHOLD orders will be

issued as “back to back” orders beginning the following day the current

orders were terminated citing MEDHOLD funding (PID “MED”). The MEDHOLD MROWS

Orders will indicate the termination date as the EAS as identified in MCMEDS

by BUMED/WWR/RMED and approved by DC M&RA (RA). The MEDHOLD MROWS Orders

will serve as source documentation, and the Marine’s new EAS/ECC will

immediately be reported via MCTFS by the reporting unit for enlisted Marines

or by M&RA (RA) for officers.

(2) Mobilized Reserve Marines

(a) Marines who are mobilized and have served on active duty AD

at least 31 days will not typically be required to be released from active

duty AD until found physically qualified fit to separate by the MTF, or other

proper authority.

(b) For those Marines mobilized as individual augments,

coordination with DC M&RA, Manpower Management Integration Branch-2 (MMIB-2)

and WWR/Medical Review Team (WWR/MRT)RMED, is required before a Marine will

be put into a MEDHOLD Requirement Tracking Number (RTN) and orders modified.

(c) All MEDHOLD requests will be routed through MCMEDS for

approval by WWR/RMED.

(e) The new EAS as determined by BUMED/WWR/RMED and approved by

DC M&RA will be provided via MCMEDS and serve as authorization to modify the

Marine’s mobilization orders for the purpose of MEDHOLD. The extended

mobilization MROWS Orders will serve as source documentation and the Marine’s

new EAS/ECC will immediately be reported via MCTFS by the reporting unit for

both enlisted Marines and officers.

(3) Marines who choose not to remain on active duty AD may be

released from active duty AD and will be required to sign the following Page

11 entry:

“I understand that I have been recommended for retention on active duty

beyond my EAS for the purpose of receiving medical treatment. I choose to be

released from active duty in lieu of MEDHOLD. I may request LOD benefits for

continued treatment, and if necessary, I may be processed through the

Disability Evaluation Board.” /S/Marine’s signature/date.

3. Marine Corps Medical Entitlements Data System (MCMEDS)

a. MCMEDS is an application that supports the Reserve Medical

Entitlements Determination Section at the Wounded Warrior Regiment (WWR) in

the processing and tracking of LOD benefits and MEDHOLD cases for injured

Reserve Marines and Officer Candidates.

b. The integration of MCMEDS into RTAMMS reduces the number of systems

within the manpower portfolio and provides a modernized solution that

supports a holistic approach to management of Marine Corps manpower needs.

c. Account registration and case migration instructions are posted on

the RTAMMS website at www.manpower.usmc.mil - Reserve Marine - Reserve

Affairs - (RA) - RTAMMS – Account Management Information.

following categories shall be screened every two years 25 months, unless

clinically indicated, for serologic evidence of HIV infection. Reserve

health care providers may be screened more often when prescribed by the

Surgeon General.

(a) Reserve personnel receiving orders for more than 30 days or

more.

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

6-9 Enclosure (2)

(b) SelRes members subject to deployment on short notice to areas

of the world with a high risk of endemic disease or with minimal existing

medical capability.

(c) SelRes personnel serving in units subject to deployment

overseas.

(2) Testing will occur during routine physical health assessment or

medical examination for affiliation with or retention in the Marine Corps

Reserve.

(3) Reserve units are not authorized to utilize HIV results obtained

from civilian blood collection agencies (e.g., American Red Cross).

(4) In circumstances where a current HIV test is not available and

cannot be obtained prior to the required active duty AD, the Reserve member

will be tested at the time of activation. If that test is positive, the

active duty AD will be terminated and the member will revert to inactive

status.

(5) Reserve personnel performing official duty outside of the United

States for any period must have a negative HIV test documented in their

health treatment records within 24 months prior to departure meet the

requirements of reference (ag).

b. HIV-Positive Reserve Component (RC) Marines

(1) References (bj) and (bk) permit members of the Ready Reserve who

are HIV positive to continue to serve within the Marine Corps Reserve,

barring any medically assessed unfitting conditions of immunologic

deficiency, neurological deficiency, progressive clinical or laboratory

abnormalities associated with HIV, or diagnosis of Acquired Immune Deficiency

Syndrome (AIDS) defining conditions.

(2) Guidance Specific to AR Marines Who Test HIV Positive:

(a) AR Marines who test HIV positive will be assigned and

supported in a manner similar to AC Marines, in accordance with references

(bk), (bj), (aj), (bl), and (bm).

(b) AR Marines who are identified as HIV positive will be

directed by the Chief, BUMED to an appropriate medical facility for

evaluation and determination of fitness for duty.

(c) Per reference (ag), medically fit AC Marines who test HIV

positive will be assigned, or reassigned, to units which are non-deployable,

non-operational force (NON-OPFOR), and CONUS based. Similarly, any AR

Marines who test positive for HIV will be transferred out of any OPFOR,

deploying, or outside OCONUS based units Medically fit AC Marines who test

HIV positive will be assigned or reassigned per reference (ag).

(d) Per references (bl) and (bm), SMCR unit structure is included

in the Marine Corps OPFOR, and thus assignment of HIV-positive AR Marines

shall exclude billets that are integrated into SMCR unit structure.

(e) Transfers and follow-on assignments of HIV-positive AR

Marines who are determined fit for continued service will be managed by the

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

6-10 Enclosure (2)

DC M&RA (RAM), who will maintain oversight of this population and ensure that

appropriate assignments occur.

(f) Medical screening, documentation, and certifications required

for the continued service of HIV positive AR Marines are outlined in

references (bj) and (aj).

(g) HIV positive AR Marines found unfit for continued service

will be processed for medical separation via the Integration Disability

Evaluation System (IDES).

(3) Guidance Specific to HIV Positive RC Marines (NON-AR):

counseled by a medical officer, and will be subsequently referred to their

private physician for medical care and evaluation of fitness for continued

service.

(b) In accordance with references (bk) and (bj), HIV-positive RC

Marines who are unable to be utilized within the SelRes will be transferred

involuntarily to the ISL.

1. The requirement for HIV-positive RC Marines to either be

utilized in the SelRes, or be assigned to the ISL specifically excludes

assignment to the IRR given the fact that the IRR is not part of the SelRes.

As such, HIV positive RC Marines who are unable to obtain a billet within the

SelRes will be transferred to the ISL and will not be permitted to be placed

within the IRR.

2. Medically fit AC Marines who test HIV positive will be

assigned or reassigned per reference (aj). Per reference (ag), medically fit

AC Marines who test HIV positive will be assigned, or reassigned, to units

which are non-deploying, non-OPFOR, and CONUS based. Similarly, any RC

Marine who tests positive for HIV will be transferred out of any unit to

which assigned that doesn’t meet the same aforementioned criteria. Per

references (bl) and (bm), SMCR unit structure is included in the Marine Corps

OPFOR, and thus assignment of HIV-positive RC Marines shall be limited to

non-SMCR unit structure.

3. Opportunities for continued participation in the SelRes

remain available to medically fit HIV-positive RC Marines via assignment to

specific non-OPFOR, non-deployable, CONUS based IMA BICs which are not part

of SMCR unit structure according to policies set forth in reference (aj).

(c) HIV-positive RC Marines who are unable or unwilling to

transition to an approved IMA BIC will be involuntarily transferred to the

ISL.

(d) HIV-positive RC Marines who are assigned to designated IMA

BICs must complete annual medical retention reviews (MRR) and physical risk

classification (PRC) assessments in order to verify their continued fitness

for duty. Additional information regarding required medical testing and

assessments is provided in reference (bb).

other appropriate action as required.

2. HIV-positive RC Marines assigned to the ISL must also

complete annual MRRs and PRC assessments in order to verify their continued

fitness for duty and corresponding utilization potential. Failure of members

of the ISL to complete and submit the required annual evaluations to the Dir

MCIRSA may result in the initiation of administrative separation processing.

(e) Per reference (bj), RC Members who are HIV positive are not

eligible for active duty in excess of 30 days, except under the condition of

mobilization and on the decision of the SECNAV.

1. Accordingly, the SECNAV must approve all mobilizations

for reserve Marines who are HIV positive and found fit for continued service

in the Ready Reserve in a non-deployable billet.

2. Marines of this category who volunteer for mobilization

must submit a request to the DC M&RA (MMIB) for processing and follow-on

submission to the SECNAV for decision.

training schedules are modified and IDT attendance records are monitored to

preclude individuals from exceeding FY paid IDT restrictions. Once a Marine

has reached the limit of IDTs and the cumulative maximum allowable ATPs (or

AFTPs for ADP), and RMPs, further duty can only be pursued through an AT or

ADOS. FY limits for ATPs (or AFTPs for aeronautically designated personnel

ADP), and RMPs are expanded upon in chapter 3 of this Order.

2. Reasonable Commuting Distance

a. Prior Service (PS) and Non-Prior Service (NPS) Recruiting. As set

forth in reference (bs), the maximum distance a mandatory participant may be

required to travel involuntarily between the Marine’s primary residence and

the RTC falls under the scenarios below and a distance within:

(1) A 100150-mile radius of the RTC or a distance that may be

traveled by automobile under average conditions of traffic, weather, and

roads in 3 hours, whichever is less. This applies only to those units that

normally do four IDT sessions on two consecutive days and where Government

meals and quarters are provided at the unit IDT site;

(2) Waivers beyond the 100150-mile radius of the RTC may be granted

on a case-by-case basis.

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

7-2 Enclosure (2)

(a) Requests for distance waivers for both PS and NPS Marines

will be approved by the unit CO.

(b) Commanders will ensure that Operational Risk Management (ORM)

practices are followed prior to a waiver being granted. Commuting distances

over 100 miles is a legitimate ORM reason for a CO to deny accession to a

unit, as long as a commuting policy is published with defined boundaries.

(c) By joining a Marine to the command, the CO has authorized the

commuting distance of the Marine.

b. Reasonable Commuting Distance for Periods of AD or ADT. Commanders

will publish a reasonable commuting distance policy to properly determine the

entitlement to travel and transportation allowances during periods of AD or

ADT.

(1) A reasonable commute is defined as a local commuting area that

consists of approximately 50-mile radius of the RTC or a distance that may be

traveled by an automobile under average conditions of traffic, weather, and

roads in an approximately 1 ½-hour period.

(2) As required by 59 Comp. Gen. 397 (1980), An arbitrary distance

radius shall not be used to define this local commuting area. NOTE: If a

Marine (Officer or enlisted) travels over 50 miles, meals and quarters will

be provided during periods of IDT.

c. Reasonable Commuting Distance for Periods of IDT. If a Marine

(officer or enlisted) travels over 50 miles from their primary residence to

their designated RTC for a period of IDT, quarters will be provided.

Enlisted Marines traveling over 50 miles from their primary residence to

their designated RTC for a period of IDT will also be provided meals. Marine

officers are not required to subsist from meals provided by the unit. If

they do, they are required to pay for meals via cash collection or a

deduction of pay.

d. Request Transfer to IRR for Excessive Commuting. A mandatory

participant may request transfer to the IRR when the member relocates beyond

the limits set forth under Chapter 7, section 1, paragraph 2a. Transfers

must be approved by the COMMARFORRES and will remain in effect until:

(1) The member subsequently relocates to a distance within 150 miles

of an SMCR Unit or an SMCR unit is established within 150 miles of the

Marine's primary residence, then the member will be directed by MARFORRES to

join the SMCR unit to continue working towards meeting their obligated

service.

(2) Member transfers to another Service Component; or

(3) Member completes his/her MSO and does not reenlist.

3. Clothing and Uniforms. CO/OIC/I-I/OpSponsors will ensure units conform

to reference (bk) and associated Marine Corps Bulletins (MCBuls) in the 10120

series pertaining to uniform requirements, acquisitions, and retention for

their Reserve members.

and military appearance standards are expanded upon in reference (bt), the

following specific nuances are provided additional guidance applies.

a. SMCR Unit Marines

(1) Marines who do not meet the height/weight or military appearance

standards will not be ordered to active duty AD unless they are properly

assigned to a Body Composition Program (BCP) per reference (bt) and/or they

are performing a required AT.

(2) IMA OpSponsors must coordinate with the Dir MCIRSA AC command to

document the assignment of IMA Marines to BCP.

b. For specific details regarding IRR Marines and Standby Reserve

Marines see the respective chapters that follow.

5. Pregnancy. Pregnant female Marines will be administered per reference

(s) and any additional current policies.

6. Transgender. Concerns involving transgender Marines will be handled in

accordance with reference (bo) and any additional current policies.

7. Deactivation/Redesignation/Relocation of SMCR Units

a. Upon deactivation, redesignation, or relocation of an SMCR unit,

Marine Corps Combat Development Command (MCCDC) (CD) will publish

correspondence to the COMMARFORRES concerning the affected unit. After

notification, the commands and personnel listed below will take the following

actions:

(1) COMMARFORRES. Coordinate the IUT of mandatory and non-mandatory

participants joined to SMCR units. Within 30 days of notification of the

unit being deactivated, redesignated, or relocated, the COMMARFORRES will

identify the target MOS for each IUT to DC M&RA (RAP) for all MOS mismatches

and request school seats from DC M&RA (RAP) for IIADTs requiring different

MOS training than originally planned.

(2) MCRC. Present the options as outlined in paragraph 6b of this

Chapter to affected SMCR unit Marines awaiting IADT.

(3) COs of Affected SMCR Units

(a) Present the options presented in paragraph 6b of this Chapter

to IIADTs attached to their units.

(b) Take the actions described in paragraph 6c of this Chapter

for mandatory participants in their unit.

(c) Present the options identified in paragraph 6d of this

(4) Reserve Training Liaison (RTL) Personnel at Marine Corps Recruit

Depots (MCRDs) and Training Sites. Present the options identified in

paragraph 6b of this Chapter to the affected Marines at IADT.

b. The following options are available to affected SMCRs awaiting IADT

or at IADT:

(1) Transfer to the AC per reference (n);

(2) Train for another MOS, contingent upon school seat availability,

and compatibility with another SMCR unit within reasonable commuting

distance. Make the following page 11 entry in the ESR and have it signed by

the Marine:

"Due to my SMCR unit being deactivated, redesignated, or relocated, I

agree to retrain in MOS XXXX which is compatible with (unit, title,

location). I understand that by transferring to this unit upon

completion of my IADT, I am still required to fulfill my mandatory

Reserve participation requirements as set forth in the current DoD and

Marine Corps regulations. I understand I retain entitlement to any

enlistment incentive I was guaranteed in my original contract

providing I meet SMCR participation requirements.” /S/ Marine’s

signature/date.

(3) Inter-service transfer to another AC or RC per reference (v); or

(4) Discharge. The separation will be an uncharacterized entry-level

separation.

(a) For Marines at IADT the following instructions apply:

1. In item 24 of the DD 214 enter "entry-level separation."

In item 28 of the DD 214 (narrative reason) enter "Defective Enlistment

Agreement";

2. A Separation Program Designator (SPD) of KDS1 will be

reported in MCTFS in item 26 of the DD 214. Cite this Order as authority for

this action. No reenlistment eligibility code is to be utilized. Item 27 of

the DD 214 will be marked "NA". An-entry level Marine who is discharged must

repeat uncompleted portions of entry-level training (i.e., recruit training,

MCT, MOS-training) in the event of subsequent enlistment. Subsequent

enlistment is not considered a reenlistment for an entry-level Marine who is

discharged;

3. If the Marine is discharged at the convenience of the

government due to unit deactivation, relocation or redesignation, type the

following paragraph in the remarks block of the DD 214 and on Page 11 of the

ESR (both to be signed by the individual):

"I understand that by accepting this discharge from the U.S. Marine

Corps Reserve, I voluntarily give up my entitlement to Transition

Assistance Benefits, Reserve Montgomery G.I. Bill Selected Reserve

(MGIB-SR), and any enlistment incentives that were offered to me upon

my initial enlistment as reflected in my ROEP Statement of

MCO 1001R.1L

7-5 Enclosure (2)

Understanding. I also understand that if, at a later date, I choose to

re-enter the Marine Corps, I will fully repeat any uncompleted portions

of the three stages of entry-level training (i.e., recruit training,

MCT, or MOS training). However, any prior active-duty service is

creditable for pay and allowances only.” /S/ Marine’s signature/date.

4. Ensure a copy of the Marine’s discharge paperwork is

mailed to the Marine's unit and COMMARFORRES (G-l).

(b) For a Marine awaiting IADT, discharge will be affected by a

letter of release.

c. The following actions will be taken for affected SMCR mandatory

participants who are at the units:

(1) If there are any other SMCR units within a reasonable commuting

distance, the SMCR unit CO will transfer these Marines to that unit upon

approval of COMMARFORRES (G-1). When there is more than one SMCR unit within

reasonable commuting distance, the mandatory participants will be joined to

the unit with the closest MOS match;

(2) If another SMCR unit does not exist within a reasonable commuting

distance, transfer these Marines to the IRR upon approval of the

COMMARFORRES.

(a) These Marines retain their entitlement to enlistment

incentive payments.

(b) Any of these Marines who complete 12 months of SMCR unit

participation (including IADT) rate MGIB-SR benefits. An MGIB-SR eligibility

code of “T" will be entered into MCTFS by the unit in accordance with

reference (ad).

(c) The Marine must obtain a Notice of Basic Eligibility (NOBE)

from the SMCR unit.

(d) The COMMARFORRES will enter a SelRes transition type code of

“X” for Marines with 1 or more but less than 6 qualifying years;

(3) In some instances a mandatory participant may be authorized to

transfer to an IMA status provided that the Marine meets the grade and

operational requirements of the IMA OpSponsor and is an MOS match. Approval

for transfer of a mandatory participant to an IMA status shall be coordinated

between the COMMARFORRES, MCIRSA, the OpSponsor, and the Marine’s current

unit; and

(4) In lieu of transfer to the IRR, a Marine may submit a request

for:

(a) Inter-service transfer to a RC or AC command; or

(b) Augmentation to AC per reference (k).

d. The following actions will be taken for affected SMCR unit non-

mandatory participants who are at the units:

(1) Coordinate with COs of SMCR units within reasonable commuting

distance to find and offer an SMCR unit billet of the same grade and MOS upon

approval of COMMARFORRES (G-1);

(2) Transfer to the IRR if an offer of an SMCR unit billet of the

same grade and MOS within a reasonable commuting distance cannot be made.

(a) These individuals retain their entitlement to reenlistment

incentive payments.

(b) Any of these SMCR unit Marines who complete 12 months of SMCR

and

(5) Request augmentation to AC per reference (k).

e. MGIB-SR eligible Marines transferred to the IRR because they have

less than 12 months of SMCR unit participation should have the following Page

11 entry made in their ESRs:

“I understand that my Reserve Montgomery GI Bill-Selected Reserve

(MGIB-SR) entitlement will be suspended the day I transfer to the

Individual Ready Reserve (IRR). I am also aware that I have only one

year to re-affiliate with an SMCR unit or another RC unit in order to

re-establish MGIB-SR eligibility.” /S/ Marine’s signature/date.

Reporting units with Marines in this category will submit a request to the

COMMARFORRES that MGIB-SR eligibility be suspended and that the MGIB-SR

eligibility code of "P" be reported in MCTFS prior to effecting the transfer

to the IRR.

8. ADT for SelRes Personnel

a. Eligibility. SMCR unit and IMA personnel may apply for all Reserve

categories of training except RCT. Formal school training must:

(2) Provide refresher/proficiency training in an OccFld or MOS in

which the individual is already qualified; or

(3) Contribute to the Marine’s career development.

b. Training Status

(1) Alternate Annual Training (Alt AT). SMCR unit and IMA personnel

may attend a 2-week formal course of instruction as Alt AT. Requests to

substitute such training for the unit AT must be approved by the appropriate

unit CO/OIC/OpSponsor.

(2) Additional Active Duty Training. SMCR unit and IMA personnel may

attend any training, except RCT, as additional ADT. DC M&RA (RA) is

authorized to approve additional ATs. If per diem is involved, the MARFORRES

(G-3) must approve the expense, prior to the additional AT request submission

to DC M&RA (RA).

c. Application Procedures. ADT will be requested using the appropriate

application format as directed by the COMMARFORRES.

9. IADT/IIADT

a. DC M&RA (RAP) has final disposition authority for all SMCR NPS

personnel under orders for IADT or IIADT. The RTL, DC M&RA (RA), will assign

MOS school seats to NPS personnel.

b. HQMC (RA) is allocated entry-level and career progression formal

school quotas annually based on the current FY NPS recruiting plan (RECPLAN),

forecasted retraining requirements, and projected promotions. The current FY

NPS RECPLAN is provided to MCRC and the COMMARFORRES to support SMCR unit

requirements and provides MCRC with a quota sequence number, PMOS/NMOS and

SMCR unit RUC mission for the FY.

c. Field Activities Responsibilities in IADT/IIADT assignments

(1) All field activities assigned daily contact or responsibilities

for SMCR NPS personnel in the entry-level training pipeline (to include MCRD,

Schools of Infantry (SOI), Formal School Training locations, and I-I

staffs/site commanders) will take the following actions:

(a) Notify Marines if additional training is required beyond that

completed for basic MOS qualification. Endorse orders directing compliance

with the remainder of the scheduled training; and

(b) Notify Marines not fully qualified for assignment in their

PMOS or requiring reclassification due to Force Structure Review Group/Base

Realignment and Closure/Force Optimization Review Group (FSRG/BRAC/FORG) or

change of residence outside the commuting distance of their current SMCR

unit.

(2) Coordinate with DC M&RA (RAP) for MOS reclassification and DC

M&RA (RAP) will coordinate with the COMMARFORRES as appropriate.

(3) Disposition instructions should be addressed to DC M&RA (RAP) as

soon as they become known to the field activities.

(a) Requests for disposition instructions should include the

individual’s name, grade, EDIPI, component code (COMP CODE), intended MOS,

gender, citizenship, aptitude test scores, QSN, height, vision

(uncorrected/corrected), and normal color perception, along with a brief

outline of the circumstances surrounding the request.

(b) Issue orders directing compliance with the remainder of IADT

as directed by DC M&RA (RAP), specifying the reason the Marine was not

qualified for training in the original PMOS.

(c) A copy of the orders will be sent to the parent SMCR unit

and/or new SMCR unit in the case of FSRG/BRAC/FORG or a Marine’s change of

residence.

(d) In no case will an SMCR unit join a Marine completing IADT

who does not have an MOS required by that unit’s T/O without first contacting

DC M&RA (RAP) for MOS reclassification and/or IUT guidance.

d. DC M&RA (RA) and CG MCRC will make every effort to ensure the Marine

spends a minimum amount of time between recruit training and IADT to

eliminate personal/financial hardships.

e. Change in Status of IADT

(1) Marines on IADT receive the training prescribed in their orders

to active duty AD and are usually released from active duty AD on the

Projected Training Completion Date (PTCD), or released if training is

completed prior to PTCD. Extensions of PTCD are authorized by DC M&RA (RAP).

When unavoidable events cause delay, early release, or MOS change in a

Marine's training track, the training activity must notify DC M&RA (RAP) via

the RTL as well as the Marine’s parent SMCR unit and COMMARFORRES.

(2) If a situation occurs whereas a Marine must be released from

active duty AD prior to attending formal school training, it will be the

responsibility of the training authority to obtain the next available school

seat from DC M&RA (RCT) via the RTL prior to the Marine’s release. The

training activity will provide the course dates, MOS, school location, class

number and QSN on the Marine’s termination endorsement when the Marine is

released from active duty AD.

(3) If a Marine's administrative status changes, the training

activity will notify DC M&RA (RAM).

(4) The releasing endorsement from IADT will include the specific

date the Marine will report to the parent SMCR unit. The reporting date will

be within five days following the constructive date of release. The

endorsement will state:

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

7-9 Enclosure (2)

"Should you fail to report to the CO/I-I (unit) on the date

indicated above, you may be designated an unsatisfactory

participant and become subject to administrative or disciplinary

action."

(5) The training activity will ensure appropriate disposition of the

ESR and STRs per reference (j). They will forward a copy of the releasing

endorsement to the parent SMCR unit.

f. Change in Residence Prior to Release from IADT

(1) Marines ordered to IADT from one SMCR unit, but who change

residence prior to release from IADT (which precludes assignment to that

unit), can:

(a) Be retrained in a new MOS,

(b) Conduct an IUT to another SMCR unit (within the reasonable

commuting distance),

(c) Or Be administratively separated.

(2) DC M&RA (RAP) will provide to the Marine options for other SMCR

units that can accept the Marine and/or assign a new MOS as appropriate. The

respective RTL will complete necessary administrative actions to assign the

trainee a new MOS if required.

(3) If the Marine’s new residence is not within reasonable commuting

distance of an SMCR unit and the commuting distance is not waived, the

training activity will submit a request to DC M&RA (RAP) for

disposition/guidance. Refer to Figure 4-8 (Sample Request for Transfer to

the IRR for Reasons Other Than Religious Missionary Obligation) for a sample

request.

(a) The Marine will be retained on active duty AD pending final

approval of the request by DC M&RA (RAP). As a result, it is imperative that

the request be submitted by the training activity at least 30 days prior to

the PTCD.

(b) It is strongly encouraged that DC M&RA (RAP) be contacted

telephonically to expedite the process. Upon receipt of

disposition/guidance, the training activity will release the Marine from

IADT.

(c) A copy of orders along with the MARFORRES approval authority

will be forwarded to the SMCR unit for which the Marine was originally

recruited for.

10. Other Training Duty (OTD)

a. Reserve Officer Professional Military Education (PME)

(1) The DC M&RA (RA) convenes an annual school selection board to

select officers to attend Top-Level, Full-Length, Intermediate-Level, and

Career-Level PME. The submission deadlines are established through separate

correspondence via a MARADMIN announcement. Officers must submit

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

7-10 Enclosure (2)

applications through the appropriate chain of command for endorsement per

instructions in the solicitation message.

(2) A second category of PME is Staff Training Course (STC) and MOS-

enhancing courses. STCs involve the preparation of officers to perform

specific functions, tasks or missions. These courses are more narrowly

focused and geared towards specific billet and MOS requirements. They are

not considered crucial for selection to the next higher grade. STCs should

normally be requested through the COMMARFORRES, with the exception of those

courses DC M&RA (RA) determines require board selection. STCs that require

board selection will be announced separately via MARADMIN.

(3) Reserve officers within three years of statutory retirement per

reference (c) are not eligible for PME.

(4) Lieutenant colonels are encouraged to complete Top-Level School

(TLS) via the Nonresident or Resident Programs before entering the zone for

colonel. Majors are expected to complete the C&S via the Nonresident or

Resident Programs before entering the zone for lieutenant colonel. Captains

are expected to complete Expeditionary Warfare School (EWS) by attending the

Reserve Courses or by correspondence before entering the zone for major.

b. Enlisted PME

(1) Per reference (ag), participation in and completion of PME

appropriate for their grade enhances Marines’ qualifications and

competitiveness for promotion. Selection boards will consider Marines who

have not completed the appropriate level PME for their grade prior to the

convening date of the selection board to be less than fully qualified for

selection for promotion. Successful completion of an appropriate level

nonresident and resident or seminar PME course is required to be considered

fully qualified for promotion. Attendance at the appropriate level resident

course alone will not fulfill the PME requirement for promotion.

(2) Marines may obtain information or enroll in non-resident PME

courses by calling the Marine Corps Institute (MCI) Student Operations

Department at 1 (800) MCI-USMC (800-624-8762) or via the web at

www.mci.usmc.mil Marines may enroll in nonresident PME courses at

www.Marinenet.usmc.mil.

(3) Resident Reserve PME course information will be promulgated via

MARADMIN and is also available from the MARFORRES G-3 Training.

c. Application for Formal School Training of SMCR Unit Marines

(1) Applicants must meet all prerequisites set forth in the Training

Quota Memorandum in MCTIMS, and reference (ah). Waiver requests will be

submitted to the DC M&RA (RA) via the appropriate chain of command.

(2) Requests for formal school training not funded by DC M&RA (RAM)

must be submitted per instructions promulgated by COMMARFORRES (G3-T).

COMMARFORRES (G3-T) will not fund formal school training denied by DC M&RA

(RAM) for failing to meet training prerequisites or eligibility requirements.

11. Exemptions from IDT/AT Attendance

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

7-11 Enclosure (2)

a. Commanders may grant exceptions for individuals who are subject to

the annual participation requirements, provided that:

(1) The number of unexcused absences does not exceed nine scheduled

IDT periods in the preceding 12 months; or

(2) The member has performed an equivalent or greater amount of

ADT/ADOS to the annual AT requirement.

b. Deferment Due to Child Birth or Adoption. See reference (y).

Additionally, dual-service parents and single parents must comply with the

provisions of reference (bu).

12. Unit Policy Letter for Mandatory Participation. The unit CO will

publish a policy letter outlining SMCR participation requirements and the

criteria established for granting RIDTs and excused absences from IDT and AT

periods. See Figure 7-1 (Sample Mandatory Participation Requirements Policy

Letter in the SMCR) for a sample letter.

Chapter 7

Selected Reserve (SelRes) Information and Administration

Section 2: Annual Training (AT)

1. Travel to AT. Group travel should not be confused with group travel

orders. Group travel is arranged by contacting the Distribution Management

Office (DMO), which will obligate the funds via miscellaneous line item

entries. Mass orders can be used, which produce individual orders for each

Marine. Refer to the MROWS help function for instructions on entering the

correct mode of travel on the orders.

a. Orders to Travel

(1) The COMMARFORRES will direct COs/I-Is/OICs and/or Dir MCIRSA AC

commands (in the case of IMAs) to issue orders to Marines not on active duty

AD via MROWS. Templates can be created in MROWS for use by the units

preparing mass orders for their unit.

(2) A separate sheet (manifest) can be prepared listing all

individuals who are traveling as a group. This is not part of the orders

themselves.

(3) All SMCR unit Marines performing AT will be ordered from their

home address primary residence to and from the RTC. Group travel will

commence upon departure from and return to the RTC.

(4) Each unit should prepare the orders for their Marines.

(5) When preparing a manifest for group travel, only the EDIPI will

be listed (not the social security number (SSN)). All copies of the

receiving endorsement will be annotated with the individual’s rank, name,

EDIPI, and component. This procedure applies to all types of orders

regardless of the type of format used.

(6) If an individual is relieved from or retained on duty and is

unable to travel with the unit, transportation at government expense is

authorized.

b. Travel at Personal Expense. COs may permit Marines to travel to and

from AT at personal expense without reimbursement.

(1) Personnel so authorized will be on AT only during the same period

of AT specified in the unit's group travel orders, regardless of the amount

of actual travel performed independently.

(2) A unit member may be entitled to naval service disability, death,

and survivor benefits only if disabling or fatal injury occurs while

performing AT. Under this authority, if a unit member is traveling to or

from AT independently of the unit, that individual may be entitled to

benefits only if the injury or death occurs during the unit's AT period

(including the time the unit performs group travel).

(3) Disability or death benefits may also be granted by the VA if

injury or death occurs during the period of time necessary to travel to or

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

7-13 Enclosure (2)

from AT by a direct route without recreational or other stopovers, except

necessary stops, such as for food and overnight lodging.

(4) The Marine Corps does not impose any limitation on the number of

personnel authorized to travel independently under this authority; however,

personnel traveling by their own vehicle must comply with the host base or

training activity's regulations regarding operation of private vehicles

aboard the facility.

(5) If a Marine performs travel to AT for personal convenience,

return travel at Government expense is not authorized.

c. Individual Travel. The COMMARFORRES or his designated representative

may authorize individuals reimbursable travel to and from AT. Specific

authorization must be stated in the AT orders.

2. Billeting, Per Diem, and Rental Cars in Conjunction with AT

a. Marines ordered to AT will be billeted and subsist aboard the station

to which the unit is assigned for training. Government quarters will not be

provided for dependents.

b. Per diem or actual expense allowances are not payable to members

performing unit AT when both Government quarters (other than temporary

lodging facilities) and a Government mess are available since the training

location is considered the unit’s permanent duty station (PDS). Per diem is

payable when the Marine is TAD/TDY outside of the local commuting area (not

less than 150 miles) from the training location or for traveling to and from

the AT location if not in a commuting status.

c. In most cases, rental cars as a reimbursable expense for RC members

while performing AT is not authorized. However, per reference (ar) when the

member is in a TAD/TDY status outside of the local commuting area of the

member’s assigned HTC or PDS, the member may be approved for a rental car.

Example: A member is assigned to the MARFORPAC IMA Det. The member travels

from Houston, Texas (primary residence) to Camp Smith, Hawaii to conduct IDTs

and AT. In this case, the member is not entitled to a rental car because

Camp Smith is the member’s HTC or PDS. However, if the member is directed to

perform TAD outside of the local commuting area (not less than 150 miles) of

Camp Smith, the member may be entitled to a rental car.

3. Basic Allowance for Housing and Basic Allowance for Subsistence (BAH and

BAS)

a. The payment of BAH will be based upon the established and validated

primary residence. Specific policies and regulations governing the payment

of BAH are found in reference (ar).

b. References (bm) and (ar) contain the regulations associated with the

payment of BAS.

4. Pay

a. Procedures for payment of Marine Corps Reserve personnel, including

SMCR units at AT, are as stipulated provided in Part 734 of reference (e),

and reference (bv).

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

7-14 Enclosure (2)

b. These orders aforementioned delineate the unit CO/OIC's

administrative responsibilities. Familiarity with these directives will

ensure timely and proper payment of entitlements.

5. Mess Duty

a. Enlisted Marines below the grade of corporal may be assigned to mess

duty provided that such duty does not preclude attendance at all periods of

formal school training. Such assignment will not typically exceed two days

of mess duty during any period of AT.

b. Unit commanders may request authority to use augmentee support from

COMMARFORRES or his designated representative.

(1) If approved, ADOS orders will be issued.

(2) When SMCR augmentees are not available, the COMMARFORRES may

request IRR augmentees. The COMMARFORRES will solicit for IRR volunteer

augments and will issue ADOS orders which will be funded by MARFORRES.

(3) Augmentee support may be used for mess duty for the entire unit

AT period to help fulfill the supported unit's mess hall requirements.

6. Termination of Orders

a. The CO/OIC/I-I/OpSponsor may terminate a Marine’s AT on request, when

circumstances arise that would qualify as emergency leave per reference (au).

Selected Reserve (SelRes) Information and Administration

Section 3: Telecommuting

1. General

a. The purpose of this section is to provide instructions and policy

guidelines for the use of telecommuting in performing ATPs/RMPs.

b. Telecommuting allows unit commanders the flexibility to assign IDTs

to members of their command to accomplish assigned tasks away from the HTC

and at times other than scheduled drill periods. It is simply another tool

designed to facilitate mission accomplishment.

c. Telecommuting, when prudently administered, will allow work products

to be more conveniently and expeditiously completed without the necessity of

orders or expending travel funds.

2. Definition. Reference (bw) establishes telecommuting policy for the DoD

and shall be adhered to.

a. Telecommuting is a formal, written, pre-authorized, arrangement

between a Marine and their parent command to perform assigned official duties

in the form of an ATP/RMP at an alternate worksite on an occasional or one-

time basis.

b. The alternate worksite is a place away from the traditional HTC that has

been approved and has the necessary tools and environment to enable the Marine

to perform their assigned official duties. It may be the Marine’s home, a

telecenter, or other designated location.

3. Policy

a. Telecommuting is limited to officially assigned duties normally

associated with an ATP/RMP. It is a tool for the commander to use in

allowing assignments to be completed away from the HTC in a setting agreed

upon with the Marine.

b. Telecommuting is a privilege, not a right, and may be terminated or

disapproved by the commander/OpSponsor at his/her discretion, or in response

to a Marine’s request.

c. Completion of the task, assignment, or project task does not require

the Marine’s presence at the HTC. It takes advantage of the Reserve Marine’s

availability while negating the impact of physically commuting to the HTC.

The concept of telecommuting relies on an understanding between the commander

and the Marine, regarding an agreed upon timeframe for completion of the task

and the final product.

d. Only ATPs or RMPs will be used for telecommuting. Marines are

required to perform all scheduled IDTs with their command.

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

7-18 Enclosure (2)

(1) No more than a combination of 36 ATPs and RMPs may be performed

via telecommute in a FY by any single member. The commander must also ensure

that telecommuting does not adversely affect the Marine’s AT requirements,

unit readiness, and mission accomplishment.

(2) A minimum of four hours of work on the assigned project must be

performed to receive credit for the telecommuting ATP/RMP period. The work

does not have to be performed in a consecutive four-hour period, but the

total number of hours reflected on the UMS must be at least four cumulative

hours per ATP/RMP before the UMS can be submitted.

(3) Telecommuting may not be used as an RIDT or EDP.

e. As expanded upon in reference (bw) the DD Form 2946, “Department of

Defense Telework Agreement,” will be completed by the Reserve Marine desiring

to telecommute and must be approved by the Marine’s CO/OpSponsor. Figure 7-2

(Sample Telecommuting Request) is the work agreement that must be signed

prior to any work being performed. It is important to note that a completed

DD Form 2946 shall be included as an enclosure to the request for telework

(Figure 7-2).

f. Figure 7-3 (Sample Telecommuting Log) is the log in which Marines

telecommuting shall use to account for telecommuting time.

g. Both the Telecommuting Request and Log (Figures 7-2 and 7-3) will

accompany the UMS when submitted to the command for processing. Both must be

submitted within 5 working days following the completion of each separate

ATP/RMP.

h. Marines are subject to the UCMJ while telecommuting.

i. The Government assumes no financial responsibility, nor is it liable

for damages to the telecommuting Marine’s personal equipment while performing

a telecommuting ATP/RMP. The Government also assumes no financial

responsibility for operational costs associated with the operation and

maintenance of the personal equipment, i.e., home maintenance, insurance,

utilities, internet service provider, etc.

j. After civilian duty hours, telecommuting as a Marine to perform

ATP/RMP should ordinarily be compatible with such employment. However,

telecommuting is not authorized for Marines whose contractor or federal

employment responsibilities mirror those responsibilities as a Reserve

Marine.

k. Reserve Marines must be in a satisfactory drill status and be fully

qualified in the BMOS assignment before they may perform telecommute

ATPs/RMPs.

l. ATPs/RMPs performed at military installations and/or commands that

are other than the Marine’s HTC are considered off-site drills and do not

fall under the telecommute policy.

m. Travel and per diem will not be authorized for telecommuting

ATPs/RMPs.

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

7-19 Enclosure (2)

n. Accumulated time from one assignment, project, or task cannot be

carried over to another. Each assignment, project, or task should be a

minimum four hours in duration, and incrementally assigned in four-hour

blocks. Multiple tasks may be assigned to a four-hour block.

o. Telecommuting ATPs/RMPs will not be used for completing normal

administrative requirements (i.e., FitReps, awards, etc.).

4. Security

a. Under no circumstances will classified information be passed,

transmitted, handled, or disseminated while telecommuting.

b. A Marine may use privately owned equipment for telecommuting purposes

but must comply with all DoD, DON, and USMC directives and instructions.

(1) Marines shall ensure that appropriate physical, administrative,

and technical safeguards are used to protect the security and confidentiality

of such records.

(2) If the telework product contains Personally Identifiable

Information (PII), PII then it may not be disclosed to anyone except those

authorized access as a requirement of their official responsibilities.

(3) Marines authorized to perform duties under this policy where PII

may be involved must have completed PII training, and certification of the

training must be on file with the unit/command who that authorized the

telecommute.

(4) Responsibility for ensuring compliance with PII rests with the

unit/command who that authorized the Marine to telecommute.

c. Government equipment provided for the purpose of telecommuting is FOR

OFFICIAL USE ONLY.

5. Responsibilities

a. CO/OIC/I-I/OpSponsor. Only a CO/OIC/I-I/OpSponsor may approve a

telecommuting ATP/RMP request. Individuals authorized “By direction” may not

approve telecommuting requests. This authorization shall not be delegated.

(1) Pre-approve or deny the telecommuting request while ensuring that

the approval of such request will not exceed the unit’s ATP/RMP allocation.

(2) Identify the assignment, project, or task.

(3) Establish the time required to complete the assignment, project,

or task. Ensure it is in four-hour increments.

(4) Identify the end-state work product (deliverable).

(5) Ensure the assignment, project, or task details and work

expectations are mutually agreed upon prior to the telecommuting ATP/RMP.

this Order when the Marine completes the IDT equivalent periods of telework.

(a) The drill muster sheet will be constructively prepared.

(b) The dates and time of the submitted ATP/RMP do not need to

(and may not) reflect the actual time periods on the telecommuting log sheet.

The date that the ATP/RMP is completed will be the date annotated on the

muster sheet.

(c) The CO/OIC/I-I/OpSponsor will sign the constructive UMS and

annotate that the ATP/RMP is a telecommute ATP/RMP in the comments section of

the UMS.

(d) For members of an MTU, the NAVMC 799 accompanied with the

telecommute request and telecommute log will suffice as required

documentation for entry into the UD.

b. Unit Commanders Requesting to Telecommute. Unit commanders cannot

approve their own ATP or RMP telecommute request. In the event that a unit

commander requests to execute ATP/RMP in a telecommute status, that Commander

must submit their request to the next senior commander in the chain of

command for approval.

c. The Marine will:

(1) Obtain the CO/OIC/I-I/OpSponsor’s approval prior to any

telecommuting ATP/RMP.

(2) Ensure the time spent on telecommuting work is properly

documented.

(3) Ensure the assignment, project or task details and work

expectations are understood prior to the telecommute ATP/RMP.

(4) Understand the end state of the work product.

(5) Submit the telecommuting agreement, DD Form 2946, telecommuting

log, and UMS to the unit administration office for processing. Telecommuting

muster sheets may be faxed to the administration office by the individual or

CO/OIC/I-I/OpSponsor after being signed by the certifying and mustering

official(s). Documentation must be submitted for processing within 5

working days following the completion of each separate ATP/RMP.

Concept is the foundational enterprise-level belief that a synergistic

product results from the combination of Active and RC Marines, Sailors

detailed in support of the Marine Corps, civilian Marines, and contract

employees. It is based upon this foundational construct that the Marine

Corps structures its overall manning, and trains, equips, and ultimately

employs (or plans for the employment of) its capabilities.

b. The RC provides trained units/detachments and qualified individuals

required to augment and reinforce the AC during wartime or national

emergency. See reference (a) for detailed guidance and procedures for the

mobilization, activation, integration, and deactivation of members and units

of the Marine Corps Reserve.

2. Continuous Screening of the Ready Reserve

a. Per section 10149 of reference (c), the Ready Reserve will be

continuously screened to ensure Reserve manpower is properly shaped and ready

to provide optimum augmentation and reinforcement of the Total Force.

b. The DC M&RA is responsible for the continuous screening of the Ready

Reserve and for the management of existing manpower controls. These controls

are in the form of processes and mechanisms developed to ensure SMCR units

are manned with available and trained Reserve Marines having the proper

balance of military skills to fill a variety of operational requirements.

Additionally, the processes and mechanisms ensure individual Reserve Marines

are trained and available with requisite military skills.

3. Deployment/Readiness Screening. All Reserve Marines will be screened not

less than triennially to ensure individuals are ready to mobilize in support

of the Total Force. Units will conduct deployment/readiness audits prior to

a unit/detachment or individual deployment. This audit can suffice as the

triennial administrative audit provided that all other triennial

administrative audit requirements are met. Chapter 5, paragraph 2 of this

Order details requirements of these audits.

a. Members of the IRR will be required to perform MD, or be screened by

mail or electronically, to confirm their physical condition, dependency

status, military qualifications, civilian occupation skills, availability for

service, current primary residence and mailing address, telephone number, and

other information required for mobilization readiness. The Dir MCIRSA has

responsibility to screen the IRR population.

b. Officer Mobilization Potential Screening Board (MPSB)

(c) Discharge.

(d) Other action as authorized in the board precept.

4. Miscellaneous Screening. In the event of mobilization members of the

Ready Reserve identified for mobilization may submit a request for DD&E as

prescribed by DoD in accordance with references (i) and (cb). Ready Reserve

members identified in the following categories will be screened as specified:

a. Conscientious Objectors

(1) The processing of conscientious objectors is outlined in

references (i) and (cb).

(2) Conscientious objectors are not addressed under deferment or

separation criteria, but should be screened prior to mobilization.

(3) Reserve Marines who declare themselves conscientious objectors

upon notification of mobilization will still be ordered to active duty AD and

must report as directed in their orders. The request for conscientious

objector status will be processed while the individual is on active duty.

b. Health Care Professional Graduate Study

(1) Per reference (cb), Ready Reserve members may not be transferred

from the Ready Reserve solely because they are students, interns, residents,

or fellows in the health care professions.

(2) Upon mobilization, they shall either be deferred or shall be

mobilized in a student, intern, resident, or fellow status until qualified in

the appropriate military specialty.

c. Theological Students

(1) Members of the RC preparing for the ministry in an accredited

theological or divinity school cannot be involuntarily ordered to active duty

AD or required to participate in IDT.

(2) These students must be transferred to the ASL for the duration of

their ministerial studies at accredited theological or divinity schools upon

approval by the COMMARFORRES (SMCR members) or the Dir MCIRSA (IRR/IMA

members).

(2) Requests submitted upon mobilization, will be forwarded to OSD

(M&RA) via DC M&RA (RA) for adjudication.

(3) A Reserve Marine who is designated a Key Employee by the Dir

MCIRSA will be processed per the guidance contained in Chapter 9, paragraph

2d of this Order.

(4) DC M&RA (MMSR) is the approval authority for retirees.

(5) The Dir MCIRSA will maintain a Key Employee database and update

the DC M&RA (RA) quarterly, with the name, rank, EDIPI, and number of Key

Employees.

(6) SMCR unit and IMA Marines that who become, or are designated, Key

Employees will be required to be processed per the guidance contained in

Chapter 9, paragraph 2d of this Order.

e. Federal Government Officials. Federal Government officials will be

screened and processed as follows:

the order of Presidential succession who is a member of the Ready Reserve

will be transferred to the Standby Reserve, the Retired Reserve, or

discharged, as appropriate.

(2) Members of Congress, Heads of Federal agencies appointed by the

President with the consent of the Senate, and members of the Federal

judiciary (District, Circuit and Supreme Court judges and justices only), and

other Federal positions, determined by Federal agency heads to be key

positions who are members of the Ready Reserve will be transferred to the

Standby Reserve, the Retired Reserve, or discharged as appropriate. (The

Superior Courts of the District of Columbia and the District of Columbia

Court of Appeals are considered to be state courts.)

f. Hardship. Personal or community hardships peculiar to the RC are

addressed in this section to provide guidance to commanders. Reference (z)

provides detailed guidance on the subject. Personal hardship cases shall be

screened as follows:

(1) When the immediate recall to active duty AD of a Reserve Marine

will create a hardship, as determined and approved by the DC M&RA (RA), the

Marine will be transferred to the Standby Reserve, the Retired Reserve, or

discharged, as appropriate. Mandatory participants may be transferred to the

Standby Reserve because of temporary hardship, temporary disability, or other

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

10-4 Enclosure (2)

cogent reasons, and will be transferred back to the Ready Reserve when the

reason for the original transfer no longer exists.

(2) When the mobilization of an SMCR unit depletes the surrounding

community of a significant number of individuals involved in public safety or

public health professions. In these cases, the DC M&RA (RA) will determine

if such a situation will cause a potential community hardship and make a

determination on appropriate and necessary mitigation.

g. Potential Humanitarian Assignments

(1) The problem must involve the Reserve Marine's immediate family

and the individual's presence must be required to alleviate or eliminate the

hardship.

(2) Requests, per references (i) and (ad), will be forwarded to the

DC M&RA (MM) via the chain of command.

h. Critical Skills. The DC M&RA (RA) will identify and publish a list

of critical short skills in the SelRes. DC M&RA (MM) will maintain a list of

critical short skills for the AC as reflected by the Grade Adjusted

Recapitulation (GAR). These critical short skills may be filled by available

Reserve Marines through DC M&RA (MMIB-2) once mobilization has been declared.

i. Legal Matters. Reserve commanders are responsible for pre-

mobilization legal counseling. Topics that must be discussed are:

(1) Power of Attorney.

(2) Preparation of wills.

(3) In the case of single parents or dual-service couples and Marines

with dependents, the requirement to have a current family care plan in place

for the care of dependents children (See reference (bu)).

Section 3: Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment

Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA)

1. Origin

a. In 1940, Congress enacted the Selective Training and Service Act,

also referred to as the Veteran’s Reemployment Rights (VRR) in an effort to

protect the reemployment of veterans.

b. Then in 1994, the Congress enacted the USERRA in order to clarify and

strengthen the VRR Statute.

c. Then on 16 January 2006, new regulations implementing the 1994 USERRA

law became effective. These regulations can be found in Part 1002 of

reference (o) and within chapter 43 of reference (bv).

1. Purpose. Congress In enacting USERRA to protect the rights of persons

who voluntarily or involuntarily leave employment positions to undertake

military service, Congress intended to with the intent being:

a. To Encourage non-career service in the Uniformed Services by

eliminating or minimizing the disadvantages to civilian careers and

employment which that can result from such service;

b. To Minimize the disruption to the lives of persons performing service

in the Uniformed Services as well as to their employers, their fellow

employees, and their communities, by providing for the prompt reemployment of

such persons upon their completion of such service; and

c. To Prohibit discrimination against persons because of their service

in the Uniformed Services.

2. Applicability to Employers. The law applies to all employers within the

United States and its territories. This includes all federal, state, and

private employers, regardless of size.

3. Coverage. The law covers all persons who perform duty in the Uniformed

Services, except those serving in civilian jobs where there is no reasonable

expectation that employment will continue indefinitely or for a significant

period.

4. Eligibility criteria. A Reserve Marine must meet the following criteria

to have the right of reemployment following a period of military service:

a. The Marine must have held an "other than temporary" civilian job at

the time of activation. A temporary job is defined as employment with a

definite end date in the near future.

b. The Marine must have left the job for the purpose of entering active

duty AD.

MCO 1001R.1L

23 DEC 2015

10-8 Enclosure (2)

c. The cumulative period of applicable active duty AD must not have

exceeded five years (excluding periods of active duty AD specifically

exempted from counting toward this total). See paragraph 10 of this Chapter

giving advance notice is impossible, unreasonable, or precluded by military

necessity.

c. Marines should provide notice as far in advance as is reasonable

under the circumstances.

6. Return to Civilian Employment Following Periods of Military Service

a. It is imperative that Marines apply for reemployment and/or report

back to their previously held employment in a timely manner.

b. Timeline requirements for returning to previously held employment are

based upon the following criteria:

(1) Reserve Marines returning from duty of a duration of 1 to 30 days

must return at the beginning of the next regularly scheduled work period on

Concordia administers and underwrites the TDP.

b. Considerable information on the TDP may be found on the TDP website

accessible at; http://www.tricare.mil/CoveredServices/Dental/NGRDental.aspx.

2. Applicability and Scope. TDP is a voluntary dental plan available to

specific Ready Reserve members and their families. The program offers four

different coverage options: Sponsor only, Single Premium (one family member

excluding Sponsor), Family Premium (more than one family member excluding

Sponsor), and Sponsor & Family Premium.

3. Policy

a. Reserve Marines who desire to enroll in the TDP must have at least 12

months of service remaining and must initially enroll for a 12-month period.

After completion of the initial 12-month period, Reserve Marines may be

continued on a month-by-month basis as long as they remain eligible and pay

their premiums.

b. Enrollment forms and coverage cost are available by accessing the TDP

website, (http://www.tricare.mil/CoveredServices/Dental/NGRDental.aspx), by

visiting the local uniformed dental service facility, or by contacting the

local health benefits/installation point of contact.

4. Responsibilities and Procedures

a. Enrollment and disenrollment is the responsibility of the dental

contractor. A data file of all Reserve Marines enrolled in the dental

insurance program, who are anticipating a monthly deduction from their pay,

is received each month from the TRICARE Selected Reserve Dental Program

(TSRDP) contractor via DMDC. DMDC will perform a file comparison with DEERS

to ensure that only Reserve Marines eligible for the TDP insurance are on the

data file. This file is compared with the MCTFS drill payroll process. If

Reserve Marines on the data file have sufficient pay due to cover the monthly

premium amount, the premium is collected and a MCTFS Reserve Entitlement 987

remark showing the debit is created. Each month the deduction will be

created for one month’s premium amount only and will not be cumulative.

b. The TDP premium collection will be displayed along with the TDP

contractor’s name and telephone number each month on the Marine’s Leave and

Earnings Statement (LES).

c. The above procedures will be repeated monthly.

member(s) are no longer entitled to military medical benefits.

(1) CHCBP acts as a temporary bridge between military health benefits

and a new civilian health plan for 18 to 36 months.

(2) CHCBP is not a TRICARE program, but it offers coverage comparable

to TRICARE Standard with similar benefits.

b. The IRR is the target population for the CHCBP, considering that SMCR

and IMA SelRes members qualify to purchase TRS coverage with a typically

lower corresponding premium rate.

c. CHCBP is available to former Uniformed Service members, their

qualified family members, former spouses who have not remarried, adult

children, and unmarried children by adoption or legal custody. If the member

qualifies, the member can purchase CHCBP within 60 days after the loss of the

following:

Section 9: Reserve Component Survivor Benefit Plan (RCSBP)

1. Purpose. The RCSBP is designed to provide retirement-eligible Reserve

Marines an early opportunity to select guaranteed protection for survivors.

The main provisions of the RCSBP are contained in chapter 73 of reference

(c).

2. Background. RCSBP allows Reserve Marines the opportunity to make

important decisions regarding survivor protection. These decisions are made

as soon as Marines are officially notified of retirement eligibility with 20

years of qualifying service. The RCSBP allows eligible Marines to provide a

monthly annuity of up to 55 percent of retired pay to their survivors and

ensures eligibility for other retirement benefits, such as medical care and

dependent identification card, in the event of the death of the Marine before

or after age 60.

3. Responsibilities

a. It is a command responsibility to ensure that all Reserve Marines are

familiar with the provisions of the RCSBP and all retirement eligible Reserve

Marines receive timely and sufficient counseling concerning the benefits of

participation in the plan prior to completing election certificates.

b. COMMARFORRES, Dir MCIRSA, SMCR unit COs/OICs, and IMA/MTU

OpSponsors/Det OIC's, are responsible for:

(1) Periodically educating all Reserve Marines under their command,

and their spouses, about the provisions of the RCSBP.

(2) Reviewing the RCSBP with all retirement eligible Reserve Marines

and their spouses immediately prior to completing the election certificate.

c. DC M&RA (MM) will:

(1) Set policy and provide guidance for the administration of the

RCSBP.

(2) Review legislation pertaining to the RCSBP.

(3) Respond to requests for administrative action to enroll, dis-

enroll, make authorized changes, and respond to other inquiries except as

noted in the subsequent paragraphs.

(4) Reserve Marines who do not elect RCSBP, or who elect less than

the maximum amount, must obtain spouse concurrence witnessed by a notary.

Reserve Marines who are married and fail to make an election within 90 days

from notification of eligibility to participate in RCSBP will be

automatically enrolled in RCSBP with full spouse coverage.

d. DC M&RA (MMSR-5) will:

MCO 1001R.1L

record of the retirement-eligible Reserve Marine.

(3) Administer the RCSBP exclusive of pay and data processing

matters.

(4) Be the voting member of the DoD Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP)

Policy Board and votes on RCSBP matters in coordination with the CMC (RA).

e. The Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS), Cleveland Center,

establishes and maintains the retirement records, including RCSBP or SBP

elections, for members who reach age 60 and draw retirement pay, or who have

died before age 60 and made an RCSBP election.

4. Basic Provisions

a. Reserve Marines have three options with regard to the Reserve

Component Survivor Benefit Plan (RCSBP):

(1) Option A. Decline to participate. The Survivors will not have

annuity eligibility should the member die before age 60. If the death occurs

before age 60, DoD retired pay and benefits are forfeited. If the member

attains age 60 and begins to draw retired pay, the member will automatically

have the opportunity to enroll in the RCSBP. Provisions of the RCSBP are per

reference (ck).

(2) Option B. Elect to provide an annuity to survivors, which

becomes effective on the 60th anniversary of the Reserve Marine's birth if

death occurs before that date. The survivor annuity will be 55 percent of

the member's full retired pay, or a lesser amount designated by the member

with spouse concurrence. When the Reserve Marine receives retired pay, the

cost of participation in the RCSBP will be deducted from that pay.

(3) Option C. Elect to provide an immediate annuity for survivors

beginning on the day after the date of death. The survivors annuity will be

55 percent of the Reserve Marine's full retired pay, or a lesser amount

designated by the member with the spouse's concurrence. Additionally, when

the Reserve Marine starts to receive retired pay, the cost of participation

in the RCSBP will be deducted from that pay.

b. The annuity provided may be based on the entire amount of retired pay

to be received or a lesser base amount to a minimum of $300. If retired pay

is less than $300, the base amount must be the full retired pay. Whenever

there is an increase in retired pay, the base amount and annuity will be

increased by the same percentage.

c. Reserve Marines electing a base amount less than full retired pay, or

having a spouse and dependent children, who elect coverage for children only,

must obtain the concurrence by signature, of the spouse. Spouse concurrence
