RMKS/1. THE MARINE CORPS CURRENTLY HAS A BACKLOG OF OVER 1,700
UNCOMPENSATED BILLET REQUESTS SPANNING THE OPERATING FORCES AND
SUPPORTING ESTABLISHMENT. THIS BACKLOG HAS REACHED THE POINT THAT IT
IS OF VIRTUALLY NO VALUE SINCE IT IS UNLIKELY THE MARINE CORPS WILL
BE GRANTED ADDITIONAL END STRENGTH INCREASES BEYOND THE 2,400 INCREASE
PROVIDED POST-9/11 TO SUPPORT ANTI-TERRORISM AND FORCE PROTECTION.
2. SINCE SATISFYING ADDITIONAL REQUESTS FOR UNCOMPENSATED STRUCTURE
GROWTH IS NOT POSSIBLE IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE, WE CAN NO LONGER
CONSIDER REQUESTS FOR UNCOMPENSATED STRUCTURE GROWTH. THIS DECISION
IS BASED ON A SCARCITY OF UNALLOCATED STRUCTURE AND THE CONTINUING
NEED TO STAFF HIGH-PRIORITY EMERGENT REQUIREMENTS. GIVEN THE ABOVE,
FURTHER REVIEW AND STAFFING OF THE CURRENT LIST OF UNCOMPENSATED TABLE
OF ORGANIZATION CHANGE REQUESTS WILL BE DISCONTINUED.
3. EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, TABLE OF ORGANIZATION CHANGE REQUESTS FOR
UNCOMPENSATED STRUCTURE GROWTH SHOULD NOT BE FORWARDED TO THE DEPUTY
COMMANDANT FOR COMBAT DEVELOPMENT (TOTAL FORCE STRUCTURE DIVISION).
THOSE ORGANIZATIONS WITH PRESSING NEEDS FOR ADDITIONAL STRUCTURE ARE
ENCOURAGED TO LOOK WITHIN ALL TABLES OF ORGANIZATION WITHIN THEIR
PURVIEW AND TO SEEK ASSISTANCE FROM RESPECTIVE ADVOCATES, OCCUPATIONAL
FIELD SPONSORS, AND MOS SPECIALISTS TO IDENTIFY APPROPRIATE
COMPENSATION FOR ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS.
