GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. PURPOSE. THE PARTIAL MOBILIZATION OF RESERVE
MARINES WAS AUTHORIZED TO SUPPORT OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM AND
OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM. MARINE FORCES RESERVE (MFR) OPERATIONAL
REQUIREMENTS
NECESSITATED THE ALTERING OF ASSIGNMENT CRITERIA OF RESERVE
PERSONNEL PARTICIPATING IN THE INITIAL ACTIVE DUTY FOR TRAINING
(IADT) AND INCREMENTAL IADT (I/IADT) PROGRAMS AS GOVERNED BY REFS
(A) AND (B). REFS (C) AND (D) MODIFIED IADT AND I/IADT
ASSIGNMENT/MOBILIZATION POLICIES, AS WELL AS THOSE ASSOCIATED WITH
THE PRIOR SERVICE (PS) TRAINING ASSIGNMENT PROGRAM, IN AN EFFORT TO
ACCELERATE TRAINING ASSIGNMENTS IN ORDER TO PROVIDE MOBILIZED UNITS
WITH FULLY TRAINED AND QUALIFIED PERSONNEL. CHANGES IN OPERATIONAL
REQUIREMENTS NO LONGER REQUIRE A DEPARTURE FROM ORIGINAL IADT AND
I/IADT ACCESSION AND ASSIGNMENT POLICIES. THIS MARADMIN SUPERSEDES
REF (C) AND (D) AND CLARIFIES RECRUITING, TRAINING, AND MOBILIZATION
POLICY FOR NPS AND PS MARINES PARTICIPATING IN THE IADT, I/IADT, AND
PSTA PROGRAMS.
2. COMMANDER'S INTENT. RETURN TO PRE-MOBILIZATION ASSIGNMENT AND
TRAINING POLICIES SET FORTH IN REFS (A) AND (B) IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN
AND SUSTAIN BOTH NPS AND PS RECRUITING PIPELINES, PRESERVE
ESTABLISHED AND SUCCESSFUL RECRUITING PRACTICES, AND MEET THE
ACCESSION AND TRAINING NEEDS OF SELECTED MARINE CORPS RESERVE (SMCR)
UNITS.
3. EXECUTION.
A. GENERAL. PER REF (A) AND (B), MOBILIZED SMCR UNITS WILL NOT
ACTIVATE/MOBILIZE NPS MARINES CURRENTLY ATTENDING IADT OR I/IADT
UNTIL THOSE MARINES COMPLETE ALL ASSIGNED TRAINING TRACK
REQUIREMENTS. FOR IADT PARTICIPANTS, A STANDARD TRAINING TRACK
CONSISTS OF RECRUIT TRAINING (RT); MARINE COMBAT TRAINING (MCT) FOR
MARINES ASSIGNED A NON-INFANTRY MILITARY OCCUPATIONAL SPECIALTY
(MOS), AND MOS PRODUCING SCHOOL PRIOR TO JOINING AN SMCR UNIT. FOR
I/IADT PARTICIPANTS, A STANDARD TRAINING TRACK IS SPREAD ACROSS TWO
TO THREE TRAINING PERIODS (SUMMERS) AND CONSISTS OF RT DURING THE
FIRST INCREMENT, ATTENDANCE AT AN MOS PRODUCING SCHOOL FOR THE
SECOND INCREMENT, AND ATTENDANCE AT MCT FOR NON-03XX MOS.
MODIFICATIONS TO THE THREE SUMMER SEQUENCE OF TRAINING MAY BE
REQUESTED FROM CMC(RAP) PROVIDED THE TIME, TRAINING AVAILABILITY AND
SCHEDULING CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED IN TWO SUMMERS. PS MARINES
PARTICIPATING IN THE PSTA PROGRAM ATTEND MOS SCHOOL FOR RETRAINING
BASED ON THE BILLET MOS REQUIREMENT FOR WHICH THEY WHERE ACCESSED.
B. CURRENT MOBILIZATION/DEMOBILIZATION. ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS
FOR DEMOBILIZATION HAVE BEEN PROVIDED TO SMCR UNITS VIA SEPCOR.
(1) NPS AND PS MARINES WHO HAVE BEEN MOBILIZED AND ARE CURRENTLY
ATTENDING FORMAL SCHOOLS WILL COMPLETE THEIR COURSE OF INSTRUCTION.
UPON COURSE COMPLETION, MARINES WILL RETURN TO THEIR PARENT SMCR
UNIT AND BE DEACTIVATED IAW REF (F).
(2) NPS AND PS MARINES WHO HAVE BEEN MOBILIZED AND ARE WAITING AT
THEIR RESERVE TRAINING CENTER (RTC) TO ATTEND SCHEDULED TRAINING
WILL BE DEACTIVATED IAW REF (F).
(3) NPS AND PS MARINES WHO HAVE BEEN MOBILIZED, ATTENDED/COMPLETED
TRAINING, AND ARE WAITING AT THEIR RTC FOR FOLLOW-ON ASSIGNMENT WILL
BE DEACTIVATED IAW REF (F).
(4) NPS AND PS MARINES WHO HAVE BEEN MOBILIZED, ATTENDED/COMPLETED
TRAINING, AND ARE AT INITIAL LOCATIONS AWAITING DEPLOYMENT WILL BE
RETURNED TO THEIR RESPECTIVE RTC AND DEACTIVATED IAW REF (F).
C. FUTURE MOBILIZATION
(1) UNLESS OTHERWISE DIRECTED, IADT AND I/IADT MARINES WILL NOT BE
MOBILIZED UNTIL THEY COMPLETE ALL ASSIGNED TRAINING REQUIREMENTS
ASSOCIATED WITH THEIR CURRENT CONTRACT. THESE MARINES WILL MAINTAIN
ASSIGNED TRAINING TRACKS UNTIL MOS/MCT QUALIFICATIONS ARE ACHIEVED.
I/IADT MARINES MUST MAINTAIN COLLEGE/UNIVERSITY ENROLLMENT FOR THIS
POLICY TO APPLY. UNITS ARE REQUIRED TO NOTIFY THIS HEADQUARTERS IF
I/IADT MARINES DISENROLL AND ARE THUS NO LONGER QUALIFIED FOR
CONTINUED PARTICIPATION IN THE I/IADT PROGRAM.
(2) PSTA MARINES POSSESS A PRIMARY MOS AND ARE AVAILABLE FOR
MOBILIZATION. PSTA MARINES ATTENDING REQUIRED TRAINING AT TIME OF
MOBILIZATION WILL NOT BE MOBILIZED PRIOR TO COURSE COMPLETION AND
RETURN TO RTC. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT IN THE EVENT OF MOBILIZATION,
PSTA MARINES ASSIGNED A VALID SCHOOL SEAT BE MOBILIZED AND SENT TO
TRAINING PRIOR TO TRANSFER TO GAINING FORCE COMMAND.
D. IADT RECORDS AUDIT. CMC (RAP) REQUESTS SITE SUPPORT STAFFS/SMCR
UNITS CONDUCT AN AUDIT OF TRAINING RECORDS FOR NPS OBLIGORS IN THE
RESERVE RUC(S) THEY SUPPORT. THIS AUDIT IS ESSENTIAL TO MAINTAINING
ACCURATE DATA OF THE IADT (TO INCLUDE INCREMENTAL) POPULATION
FOLLOWING THE RECENT MOBILIZATION/DEMOBILIZATION AND WILL FOCUS ON
THE DATA RESIDENT IN MCTFS (BTR) FOR RECRUIT TRAINING, MCT (NON-03XX
MOS ONLY) AND INITIAL MOS SCHOOL. MOBILIZED UNITS WILL COMPLETE
AUDITS/TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTIONS BY NLT 30 DAYS FROM DEMOBILIZATION.
NON-MOBILIZED UNITS WILL COMPLETE AUDITS/TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTIONS BY
NLT 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF THIS MESSAGE'S RELEASE. WHEN AUDIT
ACTIONS ARE COMPLETE, REVIEW THE CMC (RAP) I/IADT DATABASE TO
CONFIRM THAT ONLY MARINES WITH REMAINING IADT REQUIREMENTS (MCT, MOS
SCHOOL, OR BOTH) ARE LISTED. CONTACT CMC (RAP) VIA E-MAIL AT
RAP@MANPOWER.USMC.MIL FOR GUIDANCE ON ACCESSING THE I/IADT DATABASE
AND FOR SUBMITTING BY-NAME ADJUSTMENT REQUESTS AS REQUIRED.
REQUESTS WILL CONTAIN, AT A MINIMUM, THE INDIVIDUAL MARINE'S NAME,
SSN, QSN, AND DESIRED ACTION.// //
