GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. The FY23 RCSB and RSLB will convene 15 August 2022 for Reserve Component (RC) lieutenant colonels (LtCol) and 22 August 2022 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 2022 and 30 September 2023. 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 the Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) for approval. Once approved, primary selectees will be announced via MARADMIN. The alternate list will be posted on the RAM-3 website following the release of the board results and will remain valid until the convening of the next command screening board.
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) para 13.
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 exception requests can be made by submitting an Administrative Action (AA) Form to RAM-1@usmc.mil. All PMOS exceptions must be finalized prior to the convening of the boards. Applicants who do not possess the requisite PMOS for the command applied for will not be considered by the board for that command.
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.
6. Ineligibility. Officers who meet any of the following criteria are ineligible for the FY23 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 assumption of command date. All mandatory removal/retirement date extension requests must be approved by the Assistant Secretary of the Navy before the convening of the board.
c. LtCols currently holding a RCSP billet, who have previously held a RCSP billet for at least 12 months, or who were slated on a previous RCSP board and are awaiting assignment to their selected command billet.
d. Cols who were slated on a previous RCSP board and are awaiting assignment to their selected RCSP billet.
e. LtCols who are in-zone or above-zone on the next scheduled promotion selection board.
f. 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.
g. 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 whose assignment to an RCSP billet will take them beyond 18 total years of AD service. This restriction does not apply to AR officers.
h. Officers who are unwilling or unable to attend The Commandant’s Combined Commandership Course (Cornerstone).
i. Officers who failed to achieve a satisfactory year the previous anniversary year if already retirement eligible.
7. Active Duty Orders
a. Inactive Status. Officers slated for a 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.
