GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  On 14 July 2020, the Commandant of the Marine Corps convened the FY21 Colonel Command Screening Board.  The purpose of command screening is to ensure that Marines receive the
best possible leadership and to provide all eligible officers with a fair and equitable opportunity to command.  Ten general officers screened the records of eligible colonels and colonels (sel) for assignment to 68 operating/supporting establishment commands.  Billets considered will normally become available during the period of 1 June 2021 to 31 May 2022.
2.  The board selected 68 officers as primaries for command.  To accommodate the assignment process and the availability of individual officers, 33 officers were selected as alternates and found eligible for command by the board.  The alternate list provides an adequate number of officers to meet the command requirements should an officer decline command or otherwise be unable to take command.
3.  The quality of the Marines considered reaffirms that the Corps continues to produce and promote leaders of the highest caliber.  The relatively small number of command billets available and the large number of eligible officers combine to make command selection an exceptionally competitive process.
4. The Commandant of the Marine Corps has approved the following:

5.  All officers selected as primaries and alternates for command will have a letter annotating selection included in their Official Military Personnel File (OMPF) by MMOA-3.
6.  The list of officers selected as alternates will be published via the MMOA-3 "Board Updates and Information" webpage located at www.manpower.usmc.mil(slash)boardupdatesandinformation, and under the "Colonel Command Screening" link.  The list will be posted alphabetically by full name and MOS.  No action is required by officers on this list.  If a command becomes vacant due to a declination or other circumstances, an approved alternate will be fleeted-up from the prioritized alternate list.
