NARR/REF A IS THE MARINE CORPS SAFETY PROGRAM.  REF B IS THE MARINE CORPS AMMUNITION AND EXPLOSIVES SAFETY PROGRAM. REF C IS THE MARINE CORPS INSTALLATIONS COMMAND ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES.// 
GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. REF A TASKS THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ALL MARINE CORPS EXPLOSIVES SAFETY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (ESMP) RESPONSIBILITIES TO THE COMMANDER, MARINE CORPS SYSTEMS COMMAND (COMMARCORSYSCOM). ON BEHALF OF THE COMMANDER, PM AMMO, MARCORSYSCOM SERVES AS THE SERVICE LEVEL SAFETY CENTER FOR ALL EXPLOSIVES SAFETY MATTERS THROUGHOUT THE MARINE CORPS AND MAINTAINS REF B.  TO MAXIMIZE PROGRAMMATIC EFFICIENCIES, PM AMMO MANAGES AN EXPLOSIVES SAFETY PORTAL FOR THE ROUTING, APPROVAL AND ARCHIVING OF ALL MARINE CORPS EXPLOSIVES SAFETY DOCUMENTATION AND FACILITY EXPLOSIVES SAFETY DATA.  ADDITIONALLY, THIS OFFICE MANAGES THE TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION OF ALL EXPLOSIVES SAFETY SPECIALISTS FOR EACH BASE AND STATION AND PROVIDES THE MARINE CORPS VOTING MEMBER TO THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE EXPLOSIVES SAFETY BOARD (DDESB).      
2. EVERY BASE AND STATION THAT FALLS UNDER THE DIRECT PURVIEW OF MCICOM, HIGHLIGHTED IN REF C, HAS A TRAINED AND CERTIFIED REGIONAL MARINE CORPS INSTALLATIONS (MCI) COMMAND (MCIWEST, MCIEAST, AND MCIPAC) EXPLOSIVES SAFETY OFFICER (ESO) TO SUPPORT EACH INDIVIDUAL BASE AND STATION ESO WITH THE FOLLOWING EXCEPTIONS: 
2.A. MARINE FORCES KOREA INSTALLATIONS.  CAMP MUJUK FALLS UNDER THE PURVIEW OF MCIPAC HOWEVER, USMC A&E STORAGE LOCATIONS AT YECHON AND POHANG ARE NOT IDENTIFIED IN REF C. 
2.B. THE SERVICE LEVEL TRAINING INSTALLATIONS (SLTI) UNDER THE COMMAND AND CONTROL OF THE COMMANDING GENERAL, TRAINING AND EDUCATION COMMAND (TECOM).  THE SLTI INCLUDE: MARINE AIR GROUND TASK FORCE TRAINING COMMAND (MAGTFTC)/MARINE CORPS AIR GROUND COMBAT CENTER (MCAGCC), TWENTYNINE PALMS, CA; MARINE CORPS RECRUIT DEPOT (MCRD) SAN DIEGO, CA; AND MCRD, PARRIS ISLAND, SC.  MARINE CORPS MOUNTAIN WARFARE TRAINING CENTER (MCMWTC) IS A SUBORDINATE INSTALLATION OF MAGTFTC/MCAGCC. 
3. SINCE SOME OF THE MARINE FORCES KOREA INSTALLATIONS AND ALL SLTI DO NOT HAVE REGIONAL ESO SME SUPPORT, AN EXPLOSIVES SAFETY OVERSIGHT/SUPPORT DEFICIENCY EXISTS.  THE ABOVE LOCATIONS ARE HIGH TEMPO INSTALLATIONS AND CONDUCT A LARGE VOLUME OF INTEGRATED TRAINING WITH AMMUNITION AND EXPLOSIVES (A&E) WITHOUT ADDITIONAL OVERSIGHT/SUPPORT FROM A REGIONAL ESO. 
4. EACH SLTI HAS A BASE ESO HOWEVER, DOES NOT HAVE THE REGIONAL OR TECOM HEADQUARTERS LEVEL ESO EXPERTISE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE TO THE MCICOM INSTALLATIONS. TO ENSURE EACH SLTI RECEIVES THE SAME LEVEL OF EXPLOSIVES SAFETY OVERSIGHT/SUPPORT AND THE MARINE CORPS HAS ONE PROCESS FOR ROUTING AND ARCHIVING EXPLOSIVES SAFETY DOCUMENTATION, MCI REGIONAL COMMANDS WILL PROVIDE ESMP OVERSIGHT/SUPPORT FOR ALL INSTALLATIONS DEPICTED IN FIGURE 1-1 OF REF C.  ADDITIONALLY, MCIPAC WILL PROVIDE THE SAME ESMP OVERSIGHT/SUPPORT FOR MARINE FORCES KOREA (POHANG, YECHON), AS IT CURRENTLY PROVIDES FOR CAMP MUJUK.
5. THE FOLLOWING GUIDANCE IS PROVIDED TO CLARIFY ESMP OVERSIGHT/SUPPORT BETWEEN THE GEOGRAPHIC REGIONAL MCICOM SAFETY OFFICES AND THE SLTI AND MARFOR-K INSTALLATIONS THAT FALL WITHIN THEIR RESPECTIVE REGIONS.  THE REGIONAL MCICOM ESO WILL:
5.A. PROVIDE EXPLOSIVES SAFETY OVERSIGHT/SUPPORT TO ALL SLTI OR MARFOR-K INSTALLATIONS WITHIN THEIR REGION, AND PARTICIPATE ON ANY BOARDS AND COMMITTEES THAT PROVIDE OVERSIGHT AND/OR GUIDANCE PERTAINING TO ESMP FUNCTIONS. 
5.B. REVIEW, RECOMMEND AND ENDORSE ALL EXPLOSIVES SAFETY DOCUMENTATION, SUBMITTED VIA THE SLTI OR MARFOR-K CHAIN OF COMMAND, THROUGH THE REGIONAL MCI EXPLOSIVES SAFETY OFFICE, UP TO THE SERVICE LEVEL SAFETY CENTER.
5.C. COORDINATE WITH THE INSTALLATION SAFETY OFFICE AND ESTABLISH A PROGRAM FOR CONDUCTING ESMP COMPLIANCE REVIEWS, INSPECTIONS, AND/OR ASSIST VISITS ON THE SLTI OR MARFOR-K INSTALLATION WITHIN ITS GEOGRAPHIC REGION. 
5.D. REVIEW, AND PROVIDE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE SERVICE LEVEL SAFETY CENTER, FOR ALL DEVIATIONS FROM ESTABLISHED HANDLING, STORAGE, AND TRANSPORTATION POLICIES AND PROCEDURES INVOLVING USMC A&E PHYSICALLY LOCATED ON SLTI'S OR MARFOR-K INSTALLATIONS.
6. THE MAIN FOCUS OF THIS MARADMIN IS TO ENSURE THAT ALL SLTI AND STORAGE ACTIVITIES IN KOREA RECEIVE THE SAME LEVEL OF EXPLOSIVES SAFETY OVERSIGHT/SUPPORT PROVIDED TO ALL MCICOM INSTALLATIONS.  THIS WILL UNDOUBTEDLY ENHANCE THE EXPLOSIVES SAFETY POSTURE OF EACH SLTI AND MARFOR-K INSTALLATION WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY ESTABLISHING ONE PROCESS ACROSS THE MARINE CORPS FOR ROUTING AND ARCHIVING EXPLOSIVES SAFETY DOCUMENTATION.
7. THIS GUIDANCE APPLIES TO THE TOTAL FORCE.
8. THE NEXT REVISION TO REF B (CURRENTLY BEING DRAFTED) WILL INCORPORATE THE PROCESSES AND PROCEDURES IDENTIFIED IN THIS MARADMIN. THERFORE, CANCELLATION OF THIS MARADMIN BECOMES EFFECTIVE UPON PUBLICATION OF MCO P8020.10C.
