Washington -- Reserve
members of all branches are required by the Office of the Secretary of Defense
for Reserve Affairs to report individual Reservist civilian employment information
(CEI) and civilian job skills. In a Department of Defense Directive, DoDI
7730.54, collection of this data is a mandatory requirement for Marines
in the Ready Reserve, to include the Selected Marine Corps Reserve (SMCR),
Individual Mobilization Augmentees (IMA), and Individual Ready Reserve (IRR).
This information is being collected by the Department of Defense in order
to give consideration to civilian employment necessary to maintain national
health, safety, and interest when considering members for recall; to ensure
members having critical civilian skills are not retained in the Ready Reserve
in numbers beyond what the Department needs; to inform the employers of
Reservists of their rights and responsibilities under the Uniformed Services
Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA); and to provide the Department
of Defense with information necessary to promulgate policies that enhance
employer support to the Guard and Reserve. Information provided to employers
will not include individual data, but rather aggregate information.
