GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. With the approval and publication of
reference (a) on 10 April 2025, references (b) and (c)
are canceled.
2. Background. Reference (a) clarifies policy, expands on
guidance, and outlines roles and responsibilities to 
negate or mitigate the effects of a disease with 
operational significance through the protection of 
personnel, reducing operational risk, and focusing on
maintaining force readiness.  Service-level priorities and
planning considerations contained in references (b) and
(c) have been incorporated into a single comprehensive 
policy.
3. The new Order identified in reference (a) contains
topics including, but not limited to, a phased Service-
level response and desired effects that align with
federal and Department of Defense (DoD) policy,
including the DoD Functional Campaign Plan for Pandemics 
and Infectious Disease (DoD FPC-P/ID) and reference 
(d), and outlines public health emergency powers, roles,
and responsibilities of commanders, including the authority 
for the restriction of movement and the implementation of
Health Protection Conditions (HPCONS) in response to a 
public health crisis.
4. End State. The desired end state of reference (a) is 
to maintain continuity of operations during a public health
crisis (pandemic or infectious disease event) and ensure 
the capabilities of protecting and sustaining combat power
through the Force Generation process.
5. Distribution of this Order is authorized to U.S. 
Government agencies only.  The new Order has been 
published to the Technical Data Management 
Publications System (TDM-PUBS), a CAC-enabled application
containing publications of all distributions aside from 
classified (Distribution Statement “F”).  Requests for a 
copy or access to the new Order must be referred to the 
POC listed in this message. 
6. All Marine Corps Orders, command policies, and plans
citing references (b) and (c) shall be revised to conform
with reference (a).
7. This MARADMIN is applicable to the Total Force.
8. Release authorized by Major General J. L. Morris, 
Director, Operations Division, Plans, Policies, and 
Operations.//
