GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. Purpose. To solicit policy issues affecting
reservists to be considered by the Marine Corps Reserve Policy Board
(MCRPB) CY25.
2. Background. The MCRPB is mandated per the references to
consider, recommend, and report to the Secretary of the Navy on
reserve policy matters. The MCRPB meets in April each year to review
submitted issues and determine if they are actionable. Each issue is
determined if it can be resolved by addressing Marine Corps doctrine
or requires recommendations to higher headquarters for policy change.
3. Action. Each year, the MCRPB solicits policy issues for
consideration. Submission of policy issues from the Total Force is
vital to the success of the board and helps shape future policy of
the Marine Corps Reserve.
4. Issue Submissions
4.a. Issue submission preparation
4.a.1. Utilize the Issue Submission Template from the MCRPB

4.a.2. Additional slides, information papers, or other supporting
documents may be included, if required.
4.a.3. Each submission must summarize the issue, identify the
specific policy or policies to be changed (e.g. Marine Corps Order,
Secretary of the Navy Instruction, Department of Defense
Instruction, U.S. Code), recommend a change to the policy, and
clearly articulate how that policy affects the Reserve Component.
4.b. Submission method and timeline
4.b.1. Submit completed issue slides via email to rap@usmc.mil or
to any of the MCRPB Members identified on the manpower portal.
4.b.2. The deadline to submit policy issues for consideration is
