GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. PURPOSE. TO ANNOUNCE THE FIELDING OF RTAMMS AS AN INTEGRATED SUB-MODULE WITHIN THE TFAS-DMM.
2. BACKGROUND. RTAMMS IS A SYSTEM DESIGNED TO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT,FORECASTING, PRIORITIZATION, AND SOURCING OF SELECTED MARINE CORPS RESERVE (SMCR) AND INDIVIDUAL MOBILIZATION AUGMENTEE (IMA) MANPOWER REQUIREMENTS. TFAS DMM IS A WEB-BASED SYSTEM THAT PROVIDES THE MARINE CORPS WITH THE ABILITY TO SCHEDULE, MANAGE, ALLOCATE, MUSTER, REPORT, AND PAY INACTIVE DUTY TRAINING (IDT) DRILLS. RTAMMS HAS FOUR SUB-COMPONENTS WHICH WILL BE FIELDED INCREMENTALLY OVER A 12-MONTH PERIOD:
A. INVENTORY MANAGEMENT MODULE (IMM). THE IMM WILL PROVIDE UNIT LEVEL VISIBILITY TO THE AUTHORIZED STRENGTH REPORT (ASR) MANNING LEVELS AND BILLETS. UNIT PERSONNEL WILL USE THIS MODULE TO ASSIGN INDIVIDUAL MARINES TO BILLET IDENTIFICATION CODES (BIC) RESULTING IN CHANGES TO MARINE CORPS TOTAL FORCE SYSTEM (MCTFS) RESERVE BIC ASSIGNMENTS. UNITS AND HIGHER HQ WILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO IDENTIFY AND RECTIFY BIC ASSIGNMENT DISCREPANCIES AND REQUEST EXCEPTIONS TO PERSONNEL ASSIGNMENT POLICIES. IMM WILL ALSO FACILITATE IDENTIFICATION OF VACANT BILLETS BY CAREER PLANNERS, PRIOR SERVICE RECRUITERS AND INDIVIDUAL MARINES.
B. NEEDS IDENTIFICATION AND FORECASTING MODULE (NFM). THE NFM WILL PROVIDE HQMC MANPOWER PLANNERS A SYSTEMATIC APPROACH TO FORECASTING FUTURE NEEDS RESULTING FROM BOTH ATTRITION AND CONTINUATION LOSSES. ADDITIONALLY, HQMC WILL BE ABLE TO BETTER IDENTIFY CHANGES IN FUTURE NEEDS DUE TO UNIT RELOCATIONS AND STRUCTURE CHANGES. HQMC WILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO VALIDATE REQUIREMENTS IDENTIFIED THROUGH THIS MODULE AND THE INVENTORY MANAGEMENT MODULE FOR SOURCING. THE NFM WILL GENERATE THE PRIOR SERVICE (PS) AND NON-PRIOR SERVICE (NPS) RECRUITING PLANS.
C. PRIORITIZATION AND SOURCING MODULE (PSM). THE PRIORITIZATION AND SOURCING MODULE PROVIDES HQMC THE CAPABILITY TO DETERMINE THE METHOD, TIMING, AND SOURCING OF VALIDATED REQUIREMENTS. BILLETS IDENTIFIED FOR INCENTIVES, TRAVEL EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT, AND RETRAINING OPPORTUNITIES WILL BE TRACKED VIA THIS MODULE. DIFFERENT SOURCING METHODS WILL RESULT IN VISIBILITY OF THE REQUIREMENTS TO THE VARIOUS RECRUITING SOURCES AND OPPORTUNITIES. BILLETS IDENTIFIED FOR GLOBAL SOURCING WILL BE VISIBLE TO INDIVIDUAL RESERVE AND TRANSITIONING ACTIVE COMPONENT MARINES. INDIVIDUALS INTERESTED IN FILLING (AND QUALIFIED TO FILL) A PRIORITIZED BILLET VACANCY WILL BE ABLE TO APPLY FOR THAT PARTICULAR VACANCY THROUGH A PRIOR SERVICE RECRUITER. THIS MODULE WILL ALSO PROVIDE VISIBILITY AND VALIDATION OF THE RESERVE COMPONENT RECRUITING PLAN DOWN TO THE UNIT AND RECRUITING STATION LEVEL.
D. MANAGEMENT MODULE. THE MANAGEMENT MODULE WILL FACILITATE THE MANAGEMENT OF RESERVE MARINES FILLING CRITICAL BILLETS AND THOSE PARTICIPATING IN INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES SUCH AS CONGRESSIONAL FELLOWSHIPS, DISTANCE LEARNING, AND FULL-LENGTH SCHOOL WITHIN THE MARINE CORPS RESERVE ALONG WITH MONITORING (BIC ASSIGNMENT) OF SPECIAL POPULATIONS, TO INCLUDE BUT NOT BE LIMITED TO, E8/E9 AND THE RESERVE OFFICER COMMISSIONING PROGRAM (ROCP). THE MANAGEMENT MODULE WILL ALLOW USERS TO MATCH QUALIFIED CANDIDATES TO VALIDATED BILLETS TO ENSURE SELECTED OFFICERS AND SENIOR ENLISTED SERVE IN ASSIGNMENTS DEEMED CRITICALLY FORMATIVE TO THEIR OVERALL DEVELOPMENT SO THAT THEY CAN ASSUME LEADERSHIP ROLES WITHIN THE RESERVE COMPONENT (RC).
