GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. This MARADMIN announces the deactivation of the 
Regional and Culture Studies Program (RCSP), formerly known as the 
Regional, Culture, and Language Familiarization (RCLF) Program.  This
MARADMIN supersedes all RCSP and RCLF-specific guidance in references
A and B.
2. RCSP was rescinded as a Professional Military Education (PME) 
requirement effective 18 March 2021 but has remained available on 
the MarineNet learning platform as an incentivized, optional PME 
opportunity.  Effective 30 July 2024, the RCSP curriculum has been 
deactivated and and is no longer accessible for further enrollment 
or completion on MarineNet.
3. All RCSP-related data fields displayed in the Marine Online (MOL)
Personal Reports section, including regional assignments and RCSP
completion flag, are now obsolete.  These data fields may be
retained to allow manpower systems flexibility to adapt to any future 
changes in PME policy and curriculum availability.
4. RCSP courseware is currently undergoing a comprehensive update 
cycle and is expected to be available for optional enrollment by all 
Department of the Navy (DoN) personnel on the Navy e-Learning (NeL) 
management system in Fiscal Year 2025.
5. Release authorized by Brigadier General Matthew W. Tracy,
President, Marine Corps University.//
