GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. PURPOSE. ESTABLISH PROCEDURES REGARDING RESERVE MARINES THAT REMAIN SERVING ON ADOS ORDERS FOR MORE THAN 1,095 DAYS (3 YEARS) WITHIN A 1,460 (4 YEAR) PERIOD TO ENSURE PROPER ACCOUNTING AND FORECASTING REGARDING END STRENGTH.
2. BACKGROUND. PER THE REFERENCES, RESERVE COMPONENT MARINES WHO HAVE SERVED 1,095 OR MORE DAYS ON ACTIVE DUTY (ADOS RC/AC/CO) OUT OF THE PRECEDING 1,460 DAY PERIOD ARE COUNTED AGAINST END STRENGTH.
3. ACTIVE DUTY DAYS SERVED UNDER THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS ARE USED IN DETERMINING THE NUMBER OF DAYS SERVED:
   A. ORDERS ISSUED UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF USC TITLE 10 SECTION 12301(D) - ADOS(CO) ARE COUNTED BASED UPON THE COMBINATION OF THE COMPONENT CODE AND THE ACCOMPANYING ACTIVATION STATUS CODE. SERVICE UNDER A COMPONENT CODE OF KM AND AN ACTIVATION STATUS CODE OF ZA IS COUNTED. ALL SERVICE PERFORMED UNDER COMPONENT CODES C4, C7, CC, CD, CE, CF, AND CH IS COUNTED.
   B. PERIODS OF ACTIVE DUTY LESS THAN 30 DAYS (NOT GENERATING A CHANGE IN COMPONENT CODE) ARE COUNTED BASED UPON THE PAY CATEGORY CODE. SERVICE UNDER PAY CATEGORY CODES A9, B1-B9, D3 AND H1 ARE COUNTED.
   C. ORDERS THAT WERE INCORRECTLY ISSUED UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF BOTH USC TITLE 10 SECTION 12301(D) AND 12302 ARE CONSIDERED INVOLUNTARY AND ARE NOT COUNTED. THIS IS DETERMINED BASED UPON THE COMBINATION OF THE COMPONENT CODE AND THE ACCOMPANYING ACTIVATION STATUS CODE. SERVICE UNDER A COMPONENT CODE OF KM AND AN ACTIVATION STATUS CODE OF ZM IS NOT COUNTED. SERVICE UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF USC TITLE 10 SECTIONS 12301(A), 12301(B), 12301(C), 12301(G)(1), 12302, 12303 AND, 12304 (I.E. IADT, IDT, SCHOOLS, AT, MEDICAL AND LEGAL HOLD, LOD, AND FUNERAL HONORS) ARE NOT COUNTED.
   D. THIS ACCOUNTING CHANGE WILL NOT PREVENT A RESERVE MARINE FROM SERVING BEYOND 1,095 DAYS. HOWEVER, PARTICIPATION WILL BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH CMC PRIORITIES ESTABLISHED IN REF D OR REQUIRE A HQMC WAIVER FOR ADOS-CO/AC/RC ORDERS.
4. ACTION.
   A. EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, ALL RESERVE MARINES THAT ARE BEING CONSIDERED FOR ADOS ORDERS WILL BE SCREENED BY THE REQUESTING COMMAND TO DETERMINE IF THE MARINE WILL EXCEED 1,095 DAYS OF ACTIVE DUTY IN THE PRECEDING 1,460 DAYS BY EXECUTING THE REQUESTED ORDERS.
   B. MARINES WHO WILL EXCEED 1,095 DAYS MUST RECEIVE A WAIVER FROM HQMC (MMFA/RA) PRIOR TO EXECUTING ORDERS.
   C. IN ORDER TO DETERMINE IF A WAIVER IS REQUIRED, COMMANDS WILL REVIEW THE MARINE CORPS TOTAL FORCE SYSTEM (MCTFS) AND THE MARINE RESERVE ORDER WRITING SYSTEM (MROWS). WITHIN MCTFS, THE TOUR SCREEN DISPLAYS THE ACTIVE DUTY OPERATIONAL SUPPORT DAYS QUANTITY FIELD. THIS FIELD DEPICTS THE NUMBER OF QUALIFYING DAYS SPENT ON ACDU IN THE PRECEDING 1,460 DAYS. WITHIN MROWS, THE ORDERS HISTORY PAGE WILL DISPLAY THE NUMBER OF DAYS SERVED ON ACTIVE DUTY FROM EACH SET OF ORDERS. WHEN ADDING THE DAYS, USE THE NUMBER OF DAYS ASSOCIATED WITH THE LAST MODIFICATION FOR EACH MROWS TRACKING NUMBER.
   D. IF THE TOTAL EXCEEDS 1095, A WAIVER IS REQUIRED. IOT REQUEST A WAIVER, THE COMMAND MUST PROVIDE FULL JUSTIFICATION IN THE COMMENTS SECTION OF THE MARINE CORPS MOBILIZATION PROCESSING SYSTEM (MCMPS). JUSTIFICATION MUST CONTAIN AT A MINIMUM: THE BILLET DESCRIPTION, NATURE OR PURPOSE OF DUTY TO BE PERFORMED, GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION, ANY SPECIFIC QUALIFICATIONS THE MARINE POSSESSES FOR THE INTENDED PERIOD OF DUTY, AND APPROPRIATE RATIONALE SUPPORTING THE ASSIGNMENT OF THE MARINE THAT WILL EXCEED 1,095 DAYS. MMFA AND RA WILL DETERMINE IF ORDERS CAN BE ISSUED FOR ADOS-CO AND ADOS-AC/RC RESPECTIVELY.
   E. APPROVAL OF 1095 WAIVERS ARE CONTINGENT UPON THE TYPE OF ORDERS BEING REQUESTED. ADOS-CO ORDERS REQUIRE THE APPROVAL OF CMC (MMFA). ALL OTHER FORMS OF ADOS REQUIRE THE APPROVAL OF CMC (RA).
