GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  Situation.  The annual Officer Roadshow, also known as the Manpower Management Officer Assignments (MMOA) Command Visit, will be modified in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic.  MMOA remains faithful to the Marine Officer community and will work to restore a sense of normalcy regarding officer moves, while simultaneously modernizing the assignment process.  In preparation for the FY21 slating season, MMOA will address individual and command concerns by conducting virtual roadshow interviews and by sending key leaders to specified locations.
2.  Mission.  From August to December 2020, MMOA will conduct virtual interviews with eligible movers to equip officers with the fundamentals of officer manpower, to better understand the assignments process, and finally, to provide career mentorship while assisting Marines in making well-informed career decisions.  Restrictions permitting, physical interviews will be conducted in the National Capital Region in accordance with CDC guidelines.
3.  Execution
3.a.  Intent.  MMOA will provide commands with information pertaining to Manpower Management (MM) policies, procedures and assignments, and facilitate opportunities for Marines to discuss future assignments with their PMOS monitor.
3.b.  Concept of Operations.  The following schedule for the FY21 MMOA Roadshow is a guideline for interview sites/dates and is subject to refinement.  HQMC understands that the current pandemic creates significant uncertainty caused by constantly shifting training and deployment schedules.  The below locations were previously coordinated for physical interviews and MMOA intends to continue with virtual interviews during these dates.  Commands or installations that were not previously scheduled for physical interviews will still be able to coordinate with MMOA to plan interviews for their officers.
3.c.  Coordinating Instructions
3.c.1.  Virtual interview dates are designed to prioritize the moving populations at major installations to ensure that the monitors have adequate time to contact as many eligible movers as possible before slating begins in December 2020.
