GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. PURPOSE. TO PROVIDE DETAILS ON REF A INITIATIVE
AND TO PROVIDE INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMITTING BILLETS RECOMMENDED FOR
CONVERSION FOR FY06.
2. BACKGROUND. THE MARINE CORPS WILL CONTINUE MILITARY TO CIVILIAN
CONVERSIONS IN FY06 AS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED IN MROC DECISION
MEMORANDUM 51-2004. ALL BILLETS CONVERTED WILL CONTINUE TO BE
REALIGNED TO THE OPERATING FORCES TO SUPPORT NEW REQUIREMENTS.
3. ALL COMMANDS ARE REQUESTED TO REVIEW AND VALIDATE BILLETS
PREVIOUSLY IDENTIFIED (IN THE 2004 DATA CALL) FOR CONVERSION IN
FY06 (LOCATED ON THE M&RA/MP/MPP/I&A WEBSITE. THE LINK CAN BE FOUND
AT WWW.MANPOWER.USMC.MIL). COMMANDS ARE REMINDED THAT ALL TABLES OF
ORGANIZATION (T/O) HAVE BEEN SINGLE-LINED AND RENUMBERED SINCE THE
2004 DATA CALL, MAKING THE PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED LINE NUMBERS INVALID.
COMMANDS ARE ALSO ENCOURAGED TO IDENTIFY NEW BILLETS FOR POSSIBLE
CONVERSION. IT IS REQUESTED THAT PP&O PROVIDE INPUT CONCERNING ANY
PLAN FOR CONVERTING FUNCTIONS CURRENTLY PERFORMED BY MARINE MILITARY
POLICE TO CIVILIAN-MARINE PERSONNEL. HQMC OCCUPATIONAL FIELD
SPONSORS ARE ALSO REQUESTED TO REVIEW YOUR OCCUPATIONAL FIELDS FOR
POTENTIAL CONVERSIONS. IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT A COORDINATING
CONFERENCE WILL BE HELD IN MAY 05 TO FINALIZE THE BILLETS FOR
CONVERSION IN FY06. ASSUME FUNDING WILL BE AVAILABLE TO SUPPORT
ALL APPROVED CONVERSIONS. SIMILAR TO FY05, SELECTION CRITERIA WILL
BE DEVELOPED FOR PRIORITIZATION PURPOSES. COMMANDS ARE ENCOURAGED
TO CONSIDER POSSIBLE EFFICIENCIES IN CONVERTING MILITARY TO
CIVILIAN LABOR IN THEIR SUBMISSIONS. THE FOLLOWING ARE CATEGORIES
OF BILLETS THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR CONVERSION: (A) CHARGEABLE
ACTIVE DUTY BILLETS, (B) AUTHORIZED (FUNDED) ACTIVE RESERVE (AR)
BILLETS, AND (C) VALIDATED FLEET ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (FAP) BILLETS.
CHARGEABLE ACTIVE DUTY AND ACTIVE RESERVE BILLETS IDENTIFIED FOR
CONVERSION MUST BE VALID THROUGH THE FYDP AND SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN
IDENTIFIED FOR CONVERSION THROUGH A PREVIOUS INITIATIVE. THE T/O
TO BE USED FOR IDENTIFYING AND SUBMITTING BILLETS RECOMMENDED FOR
CONVERSION IS THE FY05 (05/02) VERSION FROM THE CURRENT TROOPLIST.
COPIES MAY BE FOUND ON THE TFSD WEBSITE (WWW.MCCDC.USMC.MIL/TFS).
4. THE CHARTERED WORKING GROUP FOR THIS INITIATIVE WILL VALIDATE
SUBMISSIONS AND DEVELOP A PLAN FOR CONVERSION TO BE BRIEFED TO THE
MROC. THE PLAN WILL BE VETTED THROUGH ALL STAKE HOLDERS (MAY
COORDINATING CONFERENCE) PRIOR TO THE MROC BRIEF.
5. COMMANDS WILL BE NOTIFIED OF BILLETS SELECTED AND APPROVED FOR
CONVERSION BY MESSAGE AFTER THE MROC BRIEF. BILLETS APPROVED FOR
CONVERSION IN FY06, WILL BE PROGRAMMED FOR DELETION IN FY06 AND
THE APPROPRIATE CIVILIAN BILLETS PROGRAMMED TO REPLACE THEM. CMC
(P&R) WILL PROGRAM THE APPROPRIATE LOA AND FUNDING INCREASES IN
CONJUNCTION WITH CONVERSIONS.
6. SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMISSIONS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
