GENTEXT/REMARKS/ 1. Per Ref (a), Total Force Structure Division (TFSD) has Updated the published Authorized Strength Report (ASR) data for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 through FY 2044 Tables of Organization and Equipment (TOE). The Total Force Structure Management System (TFSMS) was updated 3 August 2023 and incorporates all approved changes to the Marine Corps force structure for planning purposes since the previously published ASR. This MARADMIN cancels ref (c) and will remain in effect until the publication of the February 2024 ASR.
1.a. Per Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps direction at July Executive Off-Site, all force structure initiatives submitted to Deputy Commandant, Combat Development & Integration (DC, CD&I) must include force structure compensation and result in a zero-sum transaction per the guidance described within ref (a).
1.a.(1). The published August 23 ASR is utilized to plan enlisted assignments effective in FY 2024. The published August 2023 ASR is used to plan officer assignments for FY 2025. Enlisted assignment planning for FY25 will be based off the February 2024 ASR.
1.b. Key action dates for inclusion within the February 2024 ASR Publication are as follows:
1.b.(1). Last Date for Initial Doctrine, Organization, Training and Education, Materiel, Leadership and Communication Synchronization, Personnel, Facilities, and Cost (DOTMLPF/C) Working Group (WG) Assessment Briefs: 8 November 2023.

3.a. Occupational Field Managers and Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) Specialists can access the updated ASR files at the following link: https:(slash)(slash)usmc.sharepoint-mil.us/sites/DCCDI_MCID/Site%20Pages/OCCFLD_Management.aspx
4. Updated TOEs are available on the TFSMS website at https:(slash)(slash)tfsms.mceits.usmc.mil. Users must request access by following the instructions on the TFSMS homepage under the section titled, “Request New or Reactivation of Account.” Normal response time for access is less than 24 hours.
4.a. Instructions for downloading current FY TOE report: After log-in, enter all or part of Unit Identification Code (UIC), unit name, Monitored Command Code or Reporting Unit Code in the "Run TOE Report" and clicking "Show" to display the unit's current TOE.
4.b. Instructions for downloading planned or future FY TOE reports: After log-in, click on “Reports" link, then “TFSMS Cognos Reports Portal.” A unit's TOE is located in the "Standard Reports (published, structure data current as of last ASR)" folder. After entering the folder, click on "Unit TOE Report" and select the applicable FY and UIC. User must enable compatibility view settings for usmc.mil to select criteria for TOE report.
5. Readiness reporting. The Defense Readiness Reporting System-Marine Corps (DRRS-MC) automatically populates a unit's readiness report with force structure requirements from the current published FY TOE resident in TFSMS. Units should validate the force structure requirements in their unit's readiness report using the current published FY 2024 TOE in TFSMS or use the TOE link in a unit's readiness report in DRRS-MC.
6. Initiatives that require Total Force (TF) DOTMLPF/C WG assessment in accordance with (IAW) ref (a) must be scheduled for an initial brief to the WG no later than (NLT) 8 November 2023 in order to be considered for inclusion within the February 2024 ASR. Initiatives will continue to be scheduled and assessed after that, and if subsequently approved, will be included in the publication of the August 2024 ASR.
6.a. Force structure initiatives that may require assessment by the TF DOTMLPF/C WG include, but are not limited to: unit activations, deactivations, reorganizations, redesignations, relocations, and major MOS or occupational field changes. All Initiatives must have three-star endorsement. It is the Initiative Sponsor’s responsibility to ensure a fully fleshed out course of action is presented to the DOTMLPF/C with the required supporting documentation. The DOTMLPF/C will assess for feasibility, suitability and completeness to support future Force Structure Decisions by DC CD&I and or CMC.
6.b. Force structure initiatives submitted for consideration by the TF DOTMLPF/C WG must conform to CMC planning guidance. Initiatives should be traceable to the Force Design Annual Report (ref f) and/or should represent formal output from a DC CDI chartered Integrated Planning Team, a standing Operational Advisory Group, experimentation Cross Functional Team output, or similar working group or advisory body.
6.c. Contact the TF DOTMLPF/C WG Secretariat (para 8.c below) for a determination regarding whether the initiative will require subsequent TF DOTMLPF/C WG assessment, and assistance with preparation for the initial WG briefing. The secretariat will assist sponsors with preparation and pre-coordination of all initial briefs. Supporting documentation required for an initial brief includes but is not limited to proposed Table of Organization (T/O), Table of Equipment (T/E), and draft Mission Statements. All initiatives submitted for TF DOTMLPF/C WG assessment must be fully compensated IAW ref (a) Chapter 5, para 3.c.(2).
7. TOECR Policy.
7.a. TOECR submissions must adhere to the applicable provisions of ref (a). All TOECRs must be compensated IAW Ref (a), Chapter 9. OECRs submitted without structure compensation will be returned without action.
7.a.(1). Suitable compensation is defined in Chapter 9 of ref (a). TOECRs that propose compensation of dissimilar value (billet grades, officer/enlisted or unrestricted/restricted officer swaps) will be considered only on a strict case-by-case basis, must be fully justified, and must gain the concurrence of all HRDP stakeholders prior to approval.
7.b. Additional amplifying information on TOECR submission is provided below.
7.b.(1). Units activated or reorganized based on CMC Force Design Will not submit TOECRs until the action directed by MCBUL 5400 has been reported complete, unless deemed mission essential.
7.b.(2). TOECRs submitted on UICs lacking a current Mission Statement (3-year renewal requirement, per ref (a)) will be returned without action, unless a Mission Statement update TOECR is submitted concurrently or was previously submitted and is in processing.
7.b.(3). In accordance with ref (a), Military Manpower TOECRs will Be programmed for the out-years. TOECR submissions must be synchronized with the planning cycles for future assignments. Therefore, TOECRs submitted for inclusion in the February 2024 ASR must be planned for execution no earlier than FY 2026. Request submitted for execution prior to FY 2026 will be returned without action.
7.b.(4). Civilian Manpower TOECRs: All new TOECRs that propose the establishment of new civilian Billet Identification Codes (BIC) within the programmed budgetary controls will require compensatory billet/resource reductions. The grade levels or dollar value of the BICs identified as compensation must be of the same or higher grade/dollar value than the proposed new BICs in order to ensure that the transaction is fiscally neutral. Additionally, IAW reference (a), chapter 9, para 9.c., all term positions must be fully documented on the T/O for the term's duration. TOECRs that do not meet the criteria set forth by reference (e) will be returned without action.
7.b.(5). External assignments by Memorandum of Agreement. TOECRs to assign Marines externally, to include joint or other agencies and organizations must include a properly executed Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) governing the agreement between the Marine Corps And supported organization(s). Per ref (a), DC CD&I has signature authority for the Marine Corps to execute these agreements. Prior to TOECR submission, MOAs should be properly coordinated, formatted and staffed to DC CD&I (Attention: TFSD) for pre-coordination. Once the coordination phase is complete, a final MOA package should be submitted to DC CD&I via the Task Management Tool (TMT) for signature. Once the MOA is fully executed, the MOA should be attached to the TOECR package and submitted in TFSMS.
7.b.(6). Per reference (a) TOECRs loaded within TFSMS that remain in a pending status for a protracted period without movement in workflow must be minimized. TFSD has generated a report for TOECRs with no movement that can be accessed on the TFSMS portal at https://tfsms.mceits.usmc.mil/. Commands should review this report and take steps to forward the TOECR for continued processing or cancel the TOECR as may be appropriate. Any TOECRs on this report with no further action taken by 29 September 2023 will be cancelled. Contact TFSD for assistance as needed.
7.b.(7). All TOECRs submitted for inclusion in the February 2024 ASR must reach TFSD NLT COB Friday, 14 December 2023.
