DUTY SPECIAL WORK-CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS (ADSW-CO) ORDERS TO BRING
RESERVE MEMBERS VOLUNTARILY ON ACTIVE DUTY FOR A PERIOD OF UP TO 3 YEARS
TO FILL INDIVIDUAL AUGMENTEE (IA) AND GWOT RELATED BILLETS.
2. RESERVE VOLUNTEERS, FROM THE INDIVIDUAL READY RESERVE (IRR),
INDIVIDUAL MOBILIZATION AUGMENTEE (IMA) AND SELECTED MARINE CORPS
RESERVE (SMCR), HAVE GREATLY INCREASED THE MARINE CORPS  ABILITY TO
MEET THE EVER EXPANDING GWOT MANPOWER REQUIREMENTS SINCE 11 SEP 01.
PAST AND CURRENT RESTRICTIONS ON INVOLUNTARY ACTIVATIONS HAVE FORCED
RELIANCE ON VOLUNTEERS. THE POOL OF VOLUNTEERS HAS MARKEDLY DWINDLED
IN THE PAST TWO YEARS. DUE TO CURRENT OPERATIONAL TEMPO AND DEMAND
FOR IA S, DC M&RA IS PURSUING ALTERNATIVES SUCH AS IN REFERENCE (A),
TO BRING RESERVE MEMBERS ON ACTIVE DUTY AND THEREBY INCREASE THE
NUMBER OF QUALIFIED VOLUNTEERS. CURRENT POLICY IS TO BRING RESERVISTS
ON ACTIVE DUTY FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 YEAR TAD IN EXCESS AND EXTEND THE
ORDERS AS REQUIRED. THIS POLICY DOES NOT GIVE THE INDIVIDUAL AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR A LONG TERM ACTIVE DUTY COMMITMENT.
3. AN ALTERNATIVE IS FOR THE MARINE CORPS TO OFFER QUALIFIED RESERVE
MEMBERS UP TO 3-YEAR ADSW-CO ORDERS UNDER 10 USC   12301(D). CHANGES
IN REFERENCE (D) ALLOW RESERVISTS TO BE ON ACTIVE DUTY FOR 5 YEARS
(2 YEARS ON 10 USC   12302 INVOLUNTARY ORDERS AND UP TO 3 YEARS ON
10 USC   12301(D) ORDERS) WITHOUT COUNTING AGAINST ACTIVE COMPONENT
GRADE TABLES OR END STRENGTH.

ADSW-CO (10 USC   12301(D)). THE ACTIVATED MEMBER MUST VOLUNTARILY
AGREE TO EXTEND ON ACTIVE DUTY BEYOND 24 MONTHS. THE TRANSITION WILL
BE ACCOMPLISHED WITH A MODIFICATION OF THEIR CURRENT ORDERS. THE

CODES WITH AN ACTIVATION STATUS CODE OF  ZN  TO IDENTIFY THESE MEMBERS.
(3) MARINES WHO ARE SELECTED FOR THIS PROGRAM WILL BE ISSUED
ADSW-CO ORDERS BY MOBCOM.
(4) MOBCOM WILL TRANSFER THESE MARINES BY REPORTING THE TTC 826
AND A MOBILIZATION STATUS CODE OF  ZN . AFTER SOFTWARE RELEASE 1-05
(APRIL 2005), THE TTC 826 WILL INCLUDE THE ACTIVATION STATUS CODE THAT
REPLACES THE MOBILIZATION STATUS CODE. THE COMMAND FOR WHICH THE
RESERVE MEMBER IS ASSIGNED FOR THE DURATION OF THE ORDERS WILL REPORT
AN INITIAL JOIN TO ACTIVE DUTY AND ALL OTHER PERTINENT PERSONNEL

CONSTITUTES ELIGIBILITY FOR WORLDWIDE ASSIGNMENT. ALL REQUESTS MUST
INCLUDE A COMMAND ENDORSEMENT. MEMBERS OF THE IRR WILL OBTAIN THEIR
COMMAND ENDORSEMENT FROM THE CG MOBCOM. COMMAND ENDORSEMENTS DO NOT
IMPLY THAT RESERVE MEMBERS WILL BE ASSIGNED TO THAT COMMAND UPON
RECEIPT OF ACTIVE DUTY ORDERS.
C. CMC (MPP-60) WILL COORDINATE WITH CMC (MM/RA) ON QUALIFICATIONS OF
EACH MARINE AND SUITABILITY FOR ASSIGNMENT TO VALIDATED IA OR GWOT
RELATED BILLETS. ONCE REQUESTS ARE APPROVED, CMC (MPP-60) WILL DIRECT
MARINE CORPS MOBILIZATION COMMAND (MOBCOM) TO ISSUE ADSW-CO ORDERS.

BILLET/DUTY PREFERENCE AND NEEDS OF THE MARINE CORPS AS DETERMINED
BY CMC (MM/MP/RA). ORDERS ARE BINDING FOR THE PERIOD DESIGNATED.

ASSIGNED COMMAND S AC STAFFING. RESERVE MEMBERS ASSIGNED TO VALIDATED
IA REQUIREMENTS WILL NOT COUNT AGAINST THE ASSIGNED COMMAND S AC
STAFFING, HOWEVER THEY MAY BE CONSIDERED BY CMC (MP/MM) WHEN
DETERMINING ON BOARD STRENGTH.
F. RESERVE MEMBERS WILL NOT BE EXTENDED ON ADSW-CO ORDERS BEYOND 3
YEARS WITHOUT CMC (MP) APPROVAL, IN COORDINATION WITH CMC (RA).
G. CMC (MPP-60) WILL CONTROL ADSW-CO ORDERS TO ENSURE SANCTUARY CASES
DO NOT INCREASE TO AN EXTENT THAT WOULD CAUSE SIGNIFICANT ADVERSE
IMPACT ON FISCAL ACCOUNTABILITY WITHIN THE ACTIVE COMPONENT FORCE.
H. RESERVE MEMBERS WHO REACH SANCTUARY STATUS DURING A 3-YEAR ADSW-CO
TOUR WILL CONTINUE TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR WORLDWIDE ASSIGNMENT BY CMC (MM)
AFTER COMPLETION OF THE 3-YEAR TOUR. ONCE ASSIGNED BY CMC (MM), THEY

UNDER THE GUIDELINES OF THE SANCTUARY POLICY PER REFERENCE (F).

WITHOUT CMC (MP) APPROVAL, IN COORDINATION WITH CMC (RA).

RESERVE MEMBERS ARE ASSIGNED TO THE IRR BEFORE ASSIGNMENT UNDER THIS
PROGRAM.
