GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. PURPOSE. TO PROMULGATE AUTHORIZED IMA MANNING LEVELS, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, UPDATE BILLET ADVERTISING REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES, AND ANNOUNCE THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE IMA NEEDS REPORT.
2. CANCELLATION. REFERENCE A.
3. BACKGROUND.
   A. IN CONSONANCE WITH A REDUCTION IN DEMAND FOR IMAS, I.E. NOT FILLING ALL ALLOCATED MANNING AND INCREASED BUDGETARY CONSTRAINTS, DIR RA IS PURSUING A REDUCTION IN IMA MANNING BEGINNING IN FY12. PENDING FORMAL REDISTRIBUTION OF IMA STAFFING IN COORDINATION WITH FORCE STRUCTURE REVIEW GROUP (FSRG), IMA STAFFING WILL BE TEMPORARILY FROZEN AT LEVELS CURRENT AS OF SEPTEMBER 20, 2011.  AUTHORIZED COMMANDS THAT DO NOT ADVERTISE OPEN BILLETS IAW PARAGRAPH 4.B. BELOW, MAY HAVE THEIR MANNING REDISTRIBUTED TO OTHER EMERGING REQUIREMENTS.
   B. HISTORICALLY, AUTHORIZED COMMANDS HAVE BEEN PERMITTED TO TEMPORARILY EXCEED THEIR MANNING CONTROLS TO ACCOUNT FOR TURNOVER, UNPLANNED LOSSES, AND THE CYCLICAL NATURE OF RESERVE MANPOWER. THIS AUTHORIZATION REMAINS UNCHANGED AND IS FORMALIZED BELOW IN PARAGRAPH 4.
   C. AUTHORIZED COMMANDS ARE ENCOURAGED TO CONTINUE HIRING IN ADVANCE OF PLANNED LOSSES TO ENSURE AVERAGE IMA STRENGTH REMAINS AT A LEVEL CONSONANT WITH MANNING.
4. ACTION.
   A. AUTHORIZED COMMANDS.
      (1) MUST ADVERTISE ALL BILLET VACANCIES AND PROJECTED LOSSES, TO AT LEAST 110 PERCENT OF THEIR MANNING LEVELS CONTAINED IN THIS MARADMIN, BY PROVIDING A MONTHLY LIST OF OPEN BILLET IDENTIFICATION CODES (BICS) TARGETED FOR HIRING AND THOSE BICS PROJECTED AS A LOSS WITHIN THE NEXT 3 - 6 MONTHS, TO THE IMA PROGRAM MANAGER NO LATER THAN THE LAST DAY OF EACH MONTH. ACCEPTABLE FORMAT IS AN EXCEL FILE WITH A SINGLE COLUMN LABELED "ADVERTISED BICS." THE INITIAL BIC ADVERTISEMENT REPORT IS DUE TO THE IMA PROGRAM MANAGER NLT 30 NOVEMBER 2011. AUTHORIZED COMMANDS ARE ENCOURAGED TO CONTINUE COMMUNICATING DIRECTLY WITH THEIR PRIOR SERVICE RECRUITER AND ADVERTISE IN RESERVE DUTY ONLINE (RDOL). AUTHORIZED COMMANDS WHERE ADVERTISED BICS AND CURRENT STAFFING DO NOT TOTAL AT LEAST 110 PERCENT OF THEIR MANNING LEVEL WILL HAVE THEIR EXCESS MANNING REDISTRIBUTED TO OTHER AUTHORIZED COMMANDS OR EMERGING REQUIREMENTS. MANNING REDISTRIBUTION FOR AUTHORIZED COMMANDS NOT ADVERTISING BICS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS MARADMIN WILL BEGIN ON 1 DECEMBER 2011.
      (2) ALL ADVERTISED BICS AND CURRENT STAFFING, NOW KNOWN FORMALLY AS THE IMA NEEDS REPORT, WILL BE DISSEMINATED DIRECTLY TO MARINE CORPS RECRUITING COMMAND (MCRC) AND AUTHORIZED COMMANDS ON A WEEKLY BASIS BEGINNING ON 5 DECEMBER 2011. AUTHORIZED COMMANDS SHOULD ENSURE ANY ERRORS IN ADVERTISING OR STAFFING ARE IMMEDIATELY REPORTED TO THE IMA PROGRAM MANAGER.
      (3) MAY NOT DENY NEW JOINS TO THEIR UNITS SOLELY BASED ON THEIR STAFFING LEVEL, UNLESS THEIR UNIT CURRENTLY EXCEEDS 110 PERCENT OF AUTHORIZED MANNING.
      (4) IF REQUIREMENTS EXIST BEYOND THE MANNING LEVELS CONTAINED IN PARAGRAPH 4.A(6) BELOW, IDENTIFY YOUR REQUIREMENTS IN WRITING TO CMC(RAM). SIMILARLY, AUTHORIZED COMMANDS DESIRING TO MAINTAIN AN AVERAGE IMA STRENGTH LESS THAN 100 PERCENT OF MANNING SHOULD IDENTIFY THOSE PAYCHECKS IN WRITING TO CMC(RAM) FOR REDISTRIBUTION. CMC(RAM) WILL REVIEW PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS AND REALLOCATE UNUSED MANNING AUTHORITY AS THE NEEDS OF THE MARINE CORPS PERMIT, BASED ON IMA PROGRAM PRIORITIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH REFERENCE B.
      (5) AUTHORIZED COMMANDS ARE ENCOURAGED TO USE THE PROVISIONAL IMA PROGRAM (PIP) WHEN REQUIREMENTS EXCEED 110 PERCENT OF THEIR MANNING.
      (6) AUTHORIZED MANNING FOR FY12 IS LISTED BY COMMAND BELOW. READ IN 5 COLUMNS:
