Purpose. To introduce the capabilities provided by the Unit Training Resource Management (UTRM) Functional Enhancement (FE) in the Marine Corps Training Information Management System (MCTIMS) Unit Training Management (UTM) module. 2. Background. The UTRM FE is the official implementation of the training resource forecasting and decision support tool formerly known as “Cost to Run a MEF” (C2RAM) into MCTIMS. The UTRM FE eliminates the need to track the same information in multiple locations. The UTRM FE provides the FMF with both a standard tool for linking annual unit training budgets and comparative cost analysis with the unit training plan. MCTIMS is the authoritative data repository for training readiness, and now includes forecasting of training costs for all units except for flying squadrons. As of September 2020, the UTRM FE is active and fully functional in MCTIMS. 3. UTRM FE Purpose. The MCTIMS UTRM FE provides a link between training resource requirements and training readiness achievements in a standardized manner that provides the data necessary to justify training resources. Use of this tool to validate training plans against training requirements ensures the Marine Corps is properly resourced to provide combat ready forces to support Title 10 responsibilities. 4. Capabilities provided by the UTRM FE. 4.a. The UTM module provides unit readiness forecasts based on planned training and readiness event completion, allows for analysis of future training gaps, and generates summary training reports. Using the UTRM FE, unit leaders are able to align annual budgets to their multi-year training plans, capture unit operating costs and those costs associated with specific training events, and conduct resource to readiness analysis. The UTRM FE also provides both event and annual-level expenditure reports by funding source and cost category at the unit level. The new data visualization and reporting tools allow unit leaders to compare multiple training events based on the readiness achievements and costs of each event. 4.b. The UTRM FE provides users the ability to input event-specific costs and non-event-specific or general/recurring operating costs, and all training expenses attributable to a unit. 4.c. The UTRM FE provides commanders with the ability to integrate subordinate unit training and financial plans with the parent organization’s training and financial plans; consolidate unit training budgets to assist unit financial managers with building a command budget; and generate the same reports previously mentioned, but with the data aggregated for all of a command’s subordinate units. These tools help unit leaders and commanders meet the requirements of reference A and B. 4.d. The UTRM FE provides the FMF and HQMC with the data needed to analyze unit readiness forecasts in terms of resource expenditures. 5. Coordinating Instructions. Detailed implementation and training guidance that supports the initial scope of UTRM FE utilization will be coordinated and published by DC P&R and CG TECOM. 6. For additional questions or guidance please contact the POCs listed in this MARADMIN. 7. This is a coordinated message between CG TECOM and DC P&R. 8. Release authorized by SES Mr. Edward C.
