GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. The FY21 RCSB and RSLB will convene 17 August 2020 for Reserve Component (RC) lieutenant colonels (LtCol) and 24 August 2020 for RC colonels (Col). The board will select RC officers for designated commands/Reserve Senior Leader (RSL) billets projected to be available between 1 October 2020 and 30 September 2021. RSL billets are not designated command billets, but they entail significant responsibility. Therefore, applicants applying for RSL billets are governed by the same competitive criteria and requirements for command.
2. Purpose. Per reference (a), the Reserve Command Screening Program (RCSP) evaluates, screens, and slates RC officers providing Marines with the best possible leadership in order to maintain a competent and well-balanced fighting force.
3. Board Process. Each board will select primaries for each available billet from the pool of eligible RC officer applicants. Additionally, the board will select a sufficient number of qualified alternates to meet manpower requirements that may arise if selected officers do not accept or subsequently vacate command during their tour. Upon completion of the board, the proposed slates and alternate lists will be forwarded to CMC for approval. Once approved, primary selectees will be announced via MARADMIN. Officers screened as alternates but not slated to a command are prioritized by the board. The list will remain valid until the convening of the next command screening board. The alternate list will be posted by EDIPI on the RAM-3 website following the release of the board results.
4. Active Reserve (AR) Program Officer Eligibility for Command Slated Billets. All AR Col/Col selects and AR LtCol/LtCol selects are eligible, except as outlined in paragraph (para) 6. AR officers applying for RCSB billets will do so in accordance with (IAW) para13.
5. Application Procedures. Officers who desire to be screened must complete the following:
a. Submit the web-based, online application as outlined in para 13. No other application methods will be accepted. IAW reference (g), applicants must possess the primary military occupational specialty (PMOS) required by the billet(s) as listed in para 8 and 9. PMOS modification requests must be finalized prior to the convening of the boards. An example request to modify a PMOS can be found on the Manpower and Reserve Affairs webpage at www.manpower.usmc.mil. From the homepage, click on “Reserve Marine,” “Personnel Management (RAM),” “Individual & Reserve Programs (RAM-3)” and look under the references tab. Applications submitted for commands without the requisite PMOS will not be considered by the Board.
b. Aviators must submit an Aviation Qualification Summary (AQS) (located on the online application) with current Up-Chit when applying for a command requiring Duty Involving Flying-Operational (DIFOP). Applications for commands requiring DIFOP will not be considered if an AQS and Up-Chit are not submitted. Commanders will continue to receive DIFOP pay once selected.
c. Submit a current promotion photograph IAW reference (b).
6. Ineligibility. Officers who meet any of the following criteria are ineligible for the FY21 RCSB and RSLB. Ineligible applications will not be considered by the Board.
a. Officers with an established separation or retirement date.
b. Officers, to include those who are retired recalled, with a mandatory removal/retirement date within two years of the projected slate tour.
c. LtCols currently holding a RCSP billet, have previously held a RCSP billet for at least 12 months, or were slated on a previous RCSP board and are awaiting assignment to their slated billet are ineligible for another LtCol RCSP billet.
d. Cols currently holding a Col RCSP billet, have previously held a Col RCSP billet for at least 12 months, or were slated on a previous RCSP board and are awaiting assignment to their slated billet are ineligible for another Col RCSP billet. This does not preclude an unrestricted (UR) Col who has previously held a RCSP billet in the rank of Col from applying for a post-command Selected Marine Corps Reserve (SMCR) Senior Leader billet.
e. Cols who did not complete at least 12 months in a Col RCSP billet are ineligible for post-command SMCR Senior Leader billets.
f. LtCols who are in-zone or above-zone on the next scheduled promotion selection board are ineligible.
g. AR officers serving in a joint duty or overseas assignment who have not completed 24 months of the assignment by the projected change of command date for the command to which applying.
h. Officers approved for sanctuary (attained approval by Deputy Commandant for Manpower and Reserve Affairs (DC M&RA), to exceed 18 total years of active duty (AD) service), serving on current orders ending beyond 18 total years of AD service, or if the assignment to an RCSP billet will take them beyond 18 total years of AD service. This restriction does not apply to AR officers.
i. Officers who are unwilling or unable to attend The Commandant’s Combined Commandership Course (Cornerstone).
j. Officers who failed to achieve a satisfactory year the previous anniversary year if already retirement eligible. These officers are automatically screened for transfer to the Inactive Status List (ISL).
7. Active Duty Orders.
a. Inactive Status. Officers slated for an RCSP billet who are subsequently issued active duty orders ending after the projected Command/RSL billet start date, must return to an inactive duty status prior to assuming an RCSB or RSLB billet.
b. Mobilization. In the event an officer serving in an RCSP billet is mobilized and the duration of mobilization orders carries the officer beyond 18 total years of AD service, the following applies:
(1) Officers approved for sanctuary may remain with the SMCR unit until unit demobilization.
(2) Upon demobilization, the officer will be reassigned to a validated requirement commensurate with the needs of the Marine Corps per reference (h) unless foregoing sanctuary protection and voluntarily accepting release from AD to retain command of the SMCR unit or remain in a slated RSL billet.

a. The deadline for submitting an application is 30 June 2020, 2359 Eastern Standard Time (EST). Late submissions will not be accepted. The web-based, online application is the only method to apply. Applicants must go to the Reserve Command Screening website at: www.manpower.usmc.mil/application. Click "FY21-RCSB" and complete the application. Common Access Card (CAC) certification is not required to access the site. Officers with an MRA portal account will proceed to the login process. Upon login, the system will validate basic individual eligibility for application. Officers are advised to read the instructions in their entirety before completing the application. The web-based application allows for the attachment of documents and offers billet preference options via drop-down boxes. Ensure documents are uploaded into the appropriate document type. You are highly encouraged to submit a signed Reserve Qualification Summary (RQS) NAVMC 10476. The RQS template can be found on the website listed in para 5.a. You are also highly encouraged to submit a letter to the President of the Board. The primary purpose of the letter is for an officer to explain to the Board why they are applying for a specific command/billet and what the officer has accomplished to be the best fit for that command/billet. Letters should also address any discrepancies in the officer’s record. If an aviator is applying for a flying squadron, attachment of an AQS (located on the on-line application) with current Up-Chit is required. Once submitted, officers will receive a confirmation email regarding application status. Hard copy applications will not be accepted. Officers who do not have an MRA portal account will receive a 404 access error.

Any officer who cannot access the application should contact the RCSB POC listed in this MARADMIN.
b. Update Material. Officers may upload update material for consideration by the board. Update material must be submitted via the on-line application. Material must be submitted by the eligible officer and addressed to the President, FY21 RCSB and RSLB.

Photographs are considered current if submitted within the 12 months preceding the convening date of the board. The date listed on the individual officer’s photograph title board is the date used to determine whether or not it is current for the purpose of board consideration. Officers are advised that outdated photographs will remain in the OMPF until an updated photograph is submitted. Marines may confirm receipt of their digital photograph via the MMRP website by accessing www.manpower.usmc.mil. Under “Top Requests,” click on “Fitreps and Official Military Personnel File (OMPF)”.
