GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  Purpose.  This MARADMIN replaces and updates 
policy previously issued in reference (a) and provides amplifying 
guidance regarding references (b) through (i), related to Marine 
Corps Enterprise Network (MCEN) account management on both 
Unclassified and Classified Networks. These updates will be 
incorporated into future issuances of reference (i).
2.  Background.  The Marine Corps has a large number of Marines, 
Civilians and Contracted Staff routinely entering and departing 
active service.  Upon completion of active service, they no longer 
require access to the MCEN through their assigned Network
Account(S).  Failure to disable and remove these accounts in a 
timely manner constitutes a cybersecurity risk and creates an 
unnecessary financial cost.  The Marine Corps has a federally 
mandated obligation to retain specific data from these accounts for
period of time described in references (f) and (g).  In order to 
mitigate the cybersecurity risk and eliminate the financial cost due
to mismanaged accounts, the policies described in references (b), 
and (e) through (i) shall be followed with regard to the disablement
and appropriate archival of inactive accounts.
