GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. THE MARINE REQUIREMENTS OVERSIGHT COUNCIL
APPROVED THE COURSE OF ACTION RECOMMENDED BY THE MILITARY-CIVILIAN
WORKING GROUP AND DIRECTED THAT THE MARINE CORPS CONVERT MILITARY
BILLETS TO CIVILIAN BILLETS IN FY06.
2. REF A PROVIDES THE COMMANDS THE APPROVED BILLETS FOR CONVERSION
IN FY06. REF B IS THE APPROVED FORMAT FOR SUBMISSION OF COMMAND
FY06 CONVERSION PHASING PLAN. COPIES OF THE REFERENCES CAN BE
FOUND ON THE INTEGRATION AND ANALYSIS WEB PAGE:
WWW.MANPOWER.USMC.MIL/PORTAL/PAGE?_PAGEID=278,1950763&_DAD=PORTAL
&_SCHEMA=PORTAL
3. UPON RECEIPT OF THE APPROVED CONVERSION LIST, MARFORS/COMMANDS
ARE DIRECTED TO UPDATE THEIR DRAFT FYO6 CONVERSION PLANS IAW REF B.
THESE PLANS ARE DUE TO M&RA (DAN JENKINS) NLT 30 SEP.
4. THE FOLLOWING COORDINATING INSTRUCTIONS ARE PROVIDED TO ASSIST
COMMANDS DURING CONVERSION IMPLEMENTATION:
A. TOTAL FORCE STRUCTURE DIVISION (POC MR. LONNIE SANDERS
DSN 278-6279).
(1) STRUCTURE (BILLETS) IDENTIFIED FOR CONVERSION IN FY06 WILL
BE DELETED FROM THE APPROPRIATE TABLES OF ORGANIZATION (T/O)
EFFECTIVE 06/02. ALL MARINE AND NAVY BILLETS WILL BE REPLACED WITH
CIVILIAN BILLETS AT THE GRADE AND SERIES REQUESTED BY THE COMMANDS.
(2) THE GRADE/SERIES OF A SPECIFIC BILLET MIGHT CHANGE FROM THAT
WHICH WAS ORIGINALLY REQUESTED, AS A RESULT OF CLASSIFICATION OF THE
POSITION DESCRIPTION FOR THAT BILLET. THESE CHANGES ARE AUTHORIZED
AND WILL BE FUNDED AS LONG AS THE PURPOSE OF THE BILLET REMAINS THE
SAME (E.G., A CHANGE FROM AN ADMIN CLERK TO A DEPARTMENT HEAD WOULD
NOT BE AUTHORIZED, BUT AN ADMIN CLERK BILLET ORIGINALLY ESTIMATED TO
BE A GS-4 BUT CLASSIFIED AS A GS-5 WOULD BE AUTHORIZED). REPORTING
REQUIREMENTS FOR THESE TYPES OF CHANGES WILL BE PROVIDED LATER AS
PART OF THE MONTHLY EXECUTION REPORTS PER PAR 4B BELOW.
(3) CURRENT POLICY PROHIBITS CIVILIAN BILLETS FROM BEING INCLUDED ON
OPERATING FORCES T/O'S (DIVISION, WING, AND FSSG). AS A RESULT,
OPERATING FORCE BILLETS IDENTIFIED FOR CONVERSION WILL BE DELETED
FROM THE OPERATING FORCES T/O'S AND A CIVILIAN BILLET WILL BE ADDED
TO THE BASE OR STATION T/O'S WHERE THE UNITS RESIDE. THE ADDITIONAL
CIVILIAN STRUCTURE WILL BE FOUND AT THE END OF THE BASE AND STATION
T/O'S.

THE MONTH REPORTED.
(2) MARFORS/COMMANDS WILL REPORT MONTHLY STATUS OF CONVERSIONS AND
REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT NLT THE 3RD WORKING DAY OF THE FOLLOWING
MONTH, BEGINNING 3 NOV FOR OCTOBER CONVERSIONS. THIS INFORMATION

EMPLOYEES. NO ONE SHALL BE RECRUITED OR PLACED IN A CONVERTED
POSITION WITHOUT A CLASSIFIED POSITION DESCRIPTION IN PLACE.

(4) CONSISTENT AND ACCURATE CLASSIFICATION OF SUBJECT POSITIONS
IS CRUCIAL. GRADE LEVELS OF THE POSITIONS SHOULD BE BASED ON THE
DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE POSITION VICE THE GRADE OF THE
FORMER MILITARY BILLET. THE DIRECTOR OF CIVILIAN PERSONNEL PROGRAMS
(DCPP) IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING CIVILIAN POSITIONS THROUGHOUT THE
MARINE CORPS ARE PROPERLY CLASSIFIED AND WILL PERIODICALLY REVIEW
ESTABLISHED POSITIONS FOR COMPLIANCE.
(5) THE ESTABLISHMENT OF ENTRY LEVEL POSITIONS WITH FUTURE
PROMOTION TO THE FULL PERFORMANCE LEVEL IS ENCOURAGED. FUNDING FOR
ENTRY LEVEL POSITIONS WILL BE AT THE FULL PERFORMANCE LEVEL. THE
DCPP WILL WORK WITH THE HRSCS TO HELP ELIMINATE/REDUCE ANY
IMPEDIMENTS TO EFFECTING THESE ACTIONS IN A TIMELY MANNER.
