GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  THE RESERVE COMMAND SCREENING BOARD WILL CONVENE
ON 26 APRIL 04 TO SCREEN APPLICATIONS FOR COMMAND BILLETS WITH
PROJECTED CHANGE OF COMMAND DATES FROM AUG 04 THROUGH JUL 05.  PER
REF (A), THE PURPOSE OF THE RESERVE COMMAND SCREENING BOARD IS TO
ENSURE THAT OUR MARINES RECEIVE THE BEST POSSIBLE LEADERSHIP AND
THAT EVERY ELIGIBLE OFFICER RECEIVES FAIR AND EQUITABLE
CONSIDERATION FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMMAND.  THIS MARADMIN
SOLICITS APPLICATIONS FOR RESERVE COMMAND BILLETS LISTED HEREIN.
THE RESERVE COMMAND SCREENING PROCESS CLOSELY PARALLELS THE ACTIVE
COMPONENT PROGRAM.  THE PRIMARY DIFFERENCE IS THAT RESERVE OFFICERS
MUST APPLY FOR SPECIFIC COMMAND BILLETS IN ORDER TO BE SCREENED AND
SLATED.
2.  THE BOARDS WILL SELECT A SUFFICIENT NUMBER OF OFFICERS TO
FULFILL A MINIMUM OF 200 PERCENT OF COMMAND REQUIREMENTS.
3.  ALL COLS, COL SELECTS, LTCOLS, AND LTCOL SELECTS IN THE READY
RESERVE (SMCR, IMA, OR IRR) MAY APPLY FOR BILLETS IN THEIR
RESPECTIVE GRADE, SUBJECT TO THE LIMITATIONS OUTLINED IN REF A,
WHICH MAKE AN OFFICER INELIGIBLE:
A.  OFFICERS WITH ESTABLISHED SEPARATION DATES.
B.  OFFICERS WITH MANDATORY REMOVAL/RETIREMENT DATES THAT WOULD
PRECLUDE THEM FROM SERVING A COMPLETE 24 MONTH TOUR FROM THE
PROJECTED CHANGE OF COMMAND (PCOC) DATE FOR THE BILLETS LISTED
BELOW.
C.  OFFICERS WHO HAVE PREVIOUSLY HELD COMMAND IN ONE OF THE
DESIGNATED COMMAND BILLETS IN THEIR CURRENT GRADE FOR A PERIOD
OF NOT LESS THAN 12 MONTHS, ARE CURRENTLY HOLDING ONE OF THE
DESIGNATED COMMAND BILLETS, OR ARE SLATED FOR COMMAND AS A RESULT
OF A PREVIOUS RESERVE COMMAND SCREENING BOARD, WITH EXCEPTION OF
PARAGRAPHS 4.A. AND 4.B. BELOW.
D.  LTCOLS WITH A DATE OF RANK OF OR PRIOR TO 1 AUG 00.
E.  SANCTUARY ELIGIBILITY.  FURTHER LIMITATIONS PERTAIN TO OFFICERS
APPROACHING, OR WHO HAVE OBTAINED, 18 TOTAL YEARS OF ACTIVE SERVICE.
(1) THOSE OFFICERS WHO ARE CURRENTLY MOBILIZED, OR ARE MOBILIZED
PRIOR TO THE CONVENING DATE OF THE BOARD, WHO ARE IN SANCTUARY OR
WHOSE ORDERS WILL TAKE THEM INTO SANCTUARY ARE INELIGIBLE TO BE
COMMAND SCREENED.
(2) THOSE OFFICERS WHO ARE MOBILIZED AFTER THE CONVENING OF
THE BOARD AND WHOSE ORDERS WILL TAKE THEM INTO SANCTUARY, AND WHO
ARE SUBSEQUENTLY SCREENED AND SLATED FOR COMMAND MUST MAKE THE
DETERMINATION AS WHETHER TO ACCEPT COMMAND OR REMAIN ON ORDERS.
OFFICERS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO REMAIN ON MOBILIZATION ORDERS AND
ACCEPT COMMAND.
(3) FOR THOSE OFFICERS WHO ARE SLATED FOR COMMAND AND BECOME
ELIGIBLE FOR SANCTUARY AS A RESULT OF MOBILIZATION OF THE UNIT, THEY
WILL RETAIN COMMAND OF THEIR UNIT.  UPON DEACTIVATION OF THE UNIT
THE OFFICER MUST MAKE THE DETERMINATION TO RETAIN COMMAND OF THE
UNIT AND REFUSE SANCTUARY OR INVOKE SANCTUARY AND BE REASSIGNED
TO A BILLET THAT SUPPORTS THE GLOBAL WAR ON TERRORISM.
4.  APPLICATIONS WILL BE SCREENED FOR THE FOLLOWING COMMAND
