FURTHERMORE, REF B ESTABLISHES TARGET COLLECTION GOALS OF 75 PERCENT FOR THE INDIVIDUAL READY RESERVE (IRR) AND 95 PERCENT FOR THE SELECTED RESERVE, EXCLUDING MEMBERS OF THE ACTIVE RESERVE (COMPONENT CODES B1 - B4 AND K6).  REFS C-D PROVIDE ADMINISTRATIVE DIRECTION FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CEI GOALS BY RESERVE COMPONENT AND PROVIDES DETAILED GUIDANCE ON ADMINISTRATIVE RESPONSIBILITIES FOR READY RESERVE.  PER REF C, FAILURE OR REFUSAL TO PROVIDE EMPLOYMENT RELATED INFORMATION, OR PROVIDING FALSE EMPLOYMENT RELATED INFORMATION MAY RESULT IN ADMINISTRATIVE OR JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS. REF D PROVIDES THE MEMBER DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO ACCESS THE DOD CEI PORTAL AND SUBMIT CEI DATA, AND PROVIDES COMMANDERS/INSPECTOR-INSTRUCTORS/OPERATIONAL SPONSORS INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO VERIFY INDIVIDUALS HAVE SUBMITTED CEI DATA CORRECTLY AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE REFERENCES.
3. TASKS.  IN ORDER TO COMPLY WITH REFS A-D AND ENABLE IMPROVED MANAGEMENT OF CEI REPORTING COMPLIANCE WITHIN THE READY RESERVE, THE FOLLOWING MEASURES ARE EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.
    A. MARINE FORCES RESERVE. 
        (1) ALL RESERVE MEMBERS REQUESTING ORDERS FOR ANNUAL TRAINING, RESIDENT PROFESSIONAL MILITARY EDUCATION, ACTIVE DUTY FOR OPERATIONAL SUPPORT, OR VOLUNTARY MOBILIZATION WILL BE SCREENED FOR CEI DATA SUBMISSION COMPLIANCE PRIOR TO AUTHENTICATION OF ORDERS IN THE MARINE RESERVE ORDERS WRITING SYSTEM (MROWS).  ORDERS WILL NOT BE AUTHENTICATED IN MROWS UNTIL CEI DATA HAS BEEN SUBMITTED, AND THE COMPLETION CERTIFICATE GENERATED BY THE DOD CEI PORTAL FOR THE MEMBER HAS BEEN VIEWED BY THE MEMBER'S UNIT, OR, IN THE CASE OF IRR MARINES, SUBMITTED AS AN ATTACHMENT TO THE ORDERS REQUEST.
        (2) SCREEN PRIOR SERVICE (PS) MARINES (TO INCLUDE THOSE APPLYING FOR IMA POSITIONS) FOR CEI COMPLIANCE BEFORE EFFECTING THE JOIN ENTRY INTO THE MARINE CORPS TOTAL FORCE SYSTEM (MCTFS). MARINES WILL NOT BE JOINED UNTIL VERIFIED AS COMPLIANT.  THOSE PS MARINES WHO ARE BEING ACCESSED INTO THE RESERVES AFTER BROKEN SERVICE (OFF CONTRACT) WILL HAVE 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE THE INITIAL JOIN ENTRY POSTS TO UPDATE THEIR CEI DATA.

FOR READY RESERVE MEMBERS, UNIT LEADERS WILL ENSURE CEI DATA HAS BEEN SUBMITTED BY THE REQUESTING MEMBER BY REQUIRING THE RESERVE MEMBER TO PRESENT A PRINT OUT OF THE CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION FROM THE DOD CEI UPDATE/REVIEW PAGE, AND INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT IN WRITTEN ENDORSEMENTS: "I CERTIFY THAT THE REQUESTING MARINE HAS PRESENTED A VALID CEI COMPLETION CERTIFICATE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THIS REQUEST." ANY CERTIFICATE DATED OLDER THAN ONE YEAR WILL BE CONSIDERED INVALID, AND THE MEMBER SHALL BE REQUIRED TO UPDATE THEIR CEI DATA PRIOR TO POSITIVE COMMAND ENDORSEMENTS.
