GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  Purpose.  This MarAdmin identifies the remaining FY17 First Term Alignment Plan (FTAP) cohort and assigns a targeted mission to the following Major Commands:  MARFORCOM, LOGCOM, MCCDC, MCICOM, MCRC, MARFORPAC, MARFORRES, MARFORSOC and TECOM.
2.  Background.
2.a.  Due to the active retention efforts of commands throughout the Corps, reenlistment submissions have been trending upwards.  As of 17 November 2016, per ref (a), over 39 percent of the targeted FTAP boatspaces had been executed for fiscal year 2017 (2,421 out of 6,185).  Overall, the FTAP submission rate is trending significantly higher than one year ago.  Currently, 83 are Fast Filling MOS’ and have been boarded out of 167 total FTAP MOS.  Commands are commended for their strong start.  The below mission is assigned to focus the remainder of the effort and ensure that all of the remaining MOS are filled.  Unit commanders should anticipate receiving similar retention missions after the first quarter of each retention year.
2.b.  Leaders at every level share responsibility for the Marine Corps enlisted retention efforts.  The mission in paragraph 3 below is based upon each commands EAS population by targeted PMOS and, thus, does not include the Marines from the FY17 cohort that have already re-enlisted.
3.  Action.  The 13 items listed below correspond to the numbered columns on the table which delineate the MSCs targets for reenlistment.  The seven major subordinate commands are allocated the remaining FY17 FTAP targets whose ECC on the date of reenlistment is between 1 October 2016 and 30 September 2017.

4.  Coordinating Instructions.
4.a.  The allocations listed above are targeted missions for the execution of a reenlistment and are not considered satisfied until each Marine accepts his or her contract.  These missions supersede any previous missions, quotas or targets issued at the local or unit level.  They are considered minimum requirements: commands should not cease their effort to retain talented FTAP Marines in these PMOS once their quota has been attained.  Commanders maintain the responsibility for identifying qualified Marines and encouraging them to submit for retention and continue their service.  Marines in these PMOS that ultimately do not receive a boatspace due to competition are encouraged to seek retention by requesting a lateral move into an eligible PMOS, IAW the FY17 Retention Guidelines.  Commanders may still seek retention for quality Marines via the Quality Marine Identification (QMI) program once their PMOS has executed 100 percent of the boatspaces.
4.b.  Marines in this fiscal year cohort who laterally move in conjunction with the FTAP, will count as a reenlistment in the PMOS to which they laterally moved.
4.c.  These allocations remain in effect until the end of FY17.  However, commanders are advised that the preponderance of Marines in the FY17 FTAP cohort will reach their EAS by 01 Jun 2017.
5.  This MARADMIN is not applicable to the Marine Corps Reserve.
6.  This MARADMIN cancels on 30 Sep 17.
7.  Approved for release by LtGen M. A. Brilakis, Deputy Commandant, Manpower and Reserve Affairs.//
