GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. Reserve Affairs Manpower Management (RAM) will 
conduct the on-site portion of the Fiscal Year 2026 (FY26) Active 
Reserve (AR) Monitor Roadshow from 9 - 11 December 2025. During this 
period, RAM will visit Marine Corps Support Facility New Orleans to 
conduct Senior Leader Engagements (SLEs), provide informational 
briefs, and conduct interviews to discuss manpower planning and 
assist Active Reserve (AR) Marines in making well-informed career 
decisions. Reserve Component (RC) and Active Component (AC) Marines 
who are interested in learning more about the AR Program are 
encouraged to attend briefs and to schedule monitor interviews. 
1.a. SLEs: Engagements between RAM personnel, command leadership, and 
staff will be coordinated via SEPCOR.
1.b. Briefs: Briefs will be provided to Unit Coordinators for 
dissemination within their commands. Marines are encouraged to view 
briefs for information on assignment processes, career progression 
within the AR program, and manpower programs and policies.  
1.c. Monitor Interviews: Marines may schedule one-on-one interviews 
at a suitable date and time via the Microsoft Bookings application. 
Links to this application will be distributed by the assigned RAM 
Command Visit Coordinator via SEPCOR.
2. Support Requirements.
