GENTEXT/RMKS/1. PURPOSE. IN ACCORDANCE WITH REF A, ESTABLISH SERVICE MANPOWER POLICY FOR UTILIZING 10 U.S.C. SECTION 12304B AUTHORITY TO INVOLUNTARILY ACTIVATE AND EMPLOY SELECTED RESERVE (SELRES) MARINES ON ACTIVE DUTY FOR PREPLANNED MISSIONS IN SUPPORT OF COMBATANT COMMANDS.
2. BACKGROUND
A. SINCE 11 SEP 01, THE MARINE CORPS HAS ROUTINELY MOBILIZED RESERVE UNITS AND INDIVIDUALS TO SUPPORT, AUGMENT, AND REINFORCE THE ACTIVE COMPONENT (AC). CONSEQUENTLY, THE RC HAS ENABLED THE MARINE CORPS TO PROVIDE SUSTAINED OPERATIONAL SUPPORT TO OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS (OCO) AND OTHER COMBATANT COMMANDER OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS.
B. AS THE MARINE CORPS TRANSITIONS FROM OCO, THE SERVICE WILL EXERCISE JUDICIOUS ALLOCATION OF RC FORCES ACROSS NEW/EMERGING REQUIREMENTS AS PRESENTED VIA THE GLOBAL FORCE MANAGEMENT (GFM) PROCESS. FURTHER, 10 U.S.C SECTION 12304B PROVIDES INVOLUNTARY UNIT ACTIVATION AUTHORITY IN THE ABSENCE OF A PRESIDENTIAL DECLARATION OF NATIONAL EMERGENCY.
C. FINALLY, THE INTENT OF REF B IS MET BY ENABLING THE MARINE CORPS TO EXERCISE RC MOBILIZATION PROCESSES AND MAINTAIN INSTITUTIONAL TOTAL FORCE READINESS IOT AUGMENT AND REINFORCE THE AC AS NECESSARY IN SUPPORT OF COMBATANT COMMANDER REQUIREMENTS.
3. POLICY
A. PER REF C, THE SECRETARY OF NAVY (SECNAV) MAY DETERMINE THAT IT IS NECESSARY TO AUGMENT THE ACTIVE FORCES FOR A PREPLANNED MISSION IN SUPPORT OF A COMBATANT COMMANDER. IN THESE CASES SECNAV MAY, SUBJECT TO THE LIMITATION OUTLINED IN SECTION (B) OF REF A, ORDER ANY UNIT OF THE SELRES WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE MEMBERS TO ACTIVE DUTY FOR NOT MORE THAN 365- CONSECUTIVE DAYS INCLUSIVE OF PRE-DEPLOYMENT TRAINING, DEPLOYMENT, AND POST DEPLOYMENT ACTIONS.
B. PER REF A, UNITS MAY BE ORDERED TO ACTIVE DUTY FOR A PREPLANNED MISSION IN SUPPORT OF A COMBATANT COMMANDER ONLY IF: (A) THE MANPOWER AND ASSOCIATED COSTS OF SUCH ACTIVE DUTY ARE SPECIFICALLY INCLUDED AND IDENTIFIED IN THE DEFENSE BUDGET MATERIALS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR OR YEARS IN WHICH SUCH UNITS ARE ANTICIPATED TO BE ORDERED TO ACTIVE DUTY; AND (B) THE BUDGET INFORMATION ON SUCH COSTS INCLUDES A DESCRIPTION OF THE MISSION FOR WHICH SUCH UNITS ARE ANTICIPATED TO BE ORDERED TO ACTIVE DUTY AND THE ANTICIPATED LENGTH OF TIME OF THE ORDER OF SUCH UNITS TO ACTIVE DUTY ON AN INVOLUNTARY BASIS.
C. PREPLANNED OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS ISO A COMBATANT COMMANDER INCLUDE THOSE OPERATIONS, EXERCISES, AND TRAINING EVENTS THAT ARE RECORDED IN THE JOINT CAPABILITIES REQUIREMENTS MANAGER (JCRM), JOINT TRAINING INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (JTIMS), OR ELECTRONIC JOINT MANPOWER AND PERSONNEL SYSTEM (EJMAPS), AND ARE CONTAINED IN THE GFM ALLOCATION PLAN (GFMAP).
4. ACTIVATION PROCESS IN CONCERT WITH THE MARINE CORPS PROGRAM OBJECTIVE MEMORANDUM (POM) PROCESS:
A. THROUGH NORMAL PROCEDURES, VIA THE SUPPORTED CCDR, THE SUPPORTED COMMARFOR IDENTIFIES FORCE REQUIREMENTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH ESTABLISHED GFM PROCESSES IN MARINE CORPS FORCE GENERATION PROCESS.
B. COMMARFORCOM, AS THE COORDINATING AUTHORITY FOR THE GFM, DEVELOPS RECOMMENDED SOURCING OF ACTIVE AND RESERVE UNITS IN COORDINATION WITH FORCE PROVIDERS AND NOMINATES RESERVE UNITS TO BE CONSIDERED FOR 12304B MOBILIZATION TO DC, PPO (PO) FOR VALIDATION AND APPROVAL.
C. COMMARFORCOM, IN COORDINATION WITH COMMARFORRES, IDENTIFIES NAVAL PERSONNEL REQUIREMENTS TO SUPPORT 12304B ACTIVATIONS.
D. DC, PPO (PO) DEVELOPS PROGRAM COSTS WITH THE SUPPORT OF COMMARFORCOM, COMMARFORRES, DC, MRA (MPP) AND DC, PROGRAMS AND RESOURCES (PR) (BE). PROGRAM COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH 12304B WILL INCLUDE ALL FORECASTED COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PERIOD OF MOBILIZATION.
E. DC, PPO, AS THE 12304B PROGRAM MANAGER, BRIEFS 12304B REQUIREMENTS AS PART OF THE OPERATING FORCES (OPFOR) PROGRAM REVIEW, PROGRAM EVALUATION BOARD (PEB), AND POM WORKING GROUP (PWG). THE OPFOR PEB IS TRI-CHAIRED BY DC, PPO; COMMARFORCOM; AND COMMARFORPAC.
F. UNIT REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE SUCCESSFULLY PROGRAMMED IN THE POM ARE INCORPORATED INTO P&R'S POM TO BUDGET TRANSITION AND INCLUDED IN DEFENSE BUDGET MATERIALS. SECRETARY OF DEFENSE CENTRALLY MANAGED APPROPRIATIONS (I.E., DRUG INTERDICTION AND COUNTERDRUG ACTIVITIES) MAY, THROUGH COORDINATION WITH DC, PPO (PO), ALSO CITE MARINE CORPS 12304B MOBILIZATION REQUIREMENTS IN OSD BUDGET EXHIBITS. NOTE: ORDERS UNDER 12304B MAY BE APPROVED AND ISSUED AT ANY TIME AFTER THE SUBMISSION TO CONGRESS OF THE DEFENSE BUDGET MATERIALS NOTIFYING CONGRESS OF THE INTENDED USE OF 12304B, HOWEVER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THOSE ORDERS (THE FIRST DAY THAT THE UNIT MAY ENTER ACTIVE DUTY AND BE FUNDED IN THE FISCAL YEAR ADDRESSED IN THE DEFENSE BUDGET MATERIALS) MAY NOT BE EARLIER THAN THE FIRST DAY OF THAT FISCAL YEAR REFERENCED IN THE DEFENSE BUDGET MATERIALS. CONGRESSIONAL ACTION ON THE BUDGET MATERIAL VIA A FULL YEAR APPROPRIATION ACT IS NOT REQUIRED, AND ORDERS COMMENCING IN FY2015 (AND BEYOND) MAY BE FUNDED USING PROVISIONAL FUNDING PROVIDED BY A CONTINUING APPROPRIATIONS ACT.
G. UPON CONFIRMATION BY DC, PR (BE) THAT THE REQUIREMENTS FOR 12304B AUTHORITY ARE INCLUDED IN THE DEFENSE BUDGET MATERIALS, COMMARFORCOM WILL IDENTIFY RESERVE COMPONENT SOURCING VIA REQUEST FOR MODIFICATION OF MARINE CORPS BULLETIN (MCBUL) 3120.

H. COMMARFORRES PROVIDES DETAILED UNIT ACTIVATION DATA (UNIT, LOCATION, SMCR PASSENGERS, DWELL INFO, ETC.) TO COMMARFORCOM. ACTIVATION DATA IDENTIFIES WHICH SMCR UNITS MUST ACTIVATE TO PROVIDE THE CAPABILITY SPECIFIED FOR SOURCING IN MCBUL 3120.
I. COMMARFORCOM, IN COORDINATION WITH COMMARFORRES, REQUESTS ACTIVATION OF ALL RESERVE FORCES IDENTIFIED IN MCBUL 3120. COMMARFORRES ALSO REQUESTS ACTIVATION OF NAVAL PERSONNEL NECESSARY TO SUPPORT MOBILIZATION OF SMCR UNITS.
J. DC, PPO (PO), IN COORDINATION WITH COMMARFORCOM AND COMMARFORRES, PREPARES SMCR 12304B UNIT ACTIVATION PACKAGE(S) FOR CMC, SECNAV AND SECDEF (WHEN REQUIRED) APPROVAL/NOTIFICATION.
K. UPON APPROVAL OF ACTIVATION BY SECNAV/SECDEF, DC, PPO (PO) ISSUES A "NOTIFICATION OF INTENT TO ACTIVATE" MESSAGE TO COMMARFORRES AND INFORMS OTHER COMMANDS AND AGENCIES AS APPROPRIATE.
L. COMMARFORRES, UPON RECEIPT OF CMC ""NOTIFICATION OF INTENT TO ACTIVATE" MESSAGE, WILL ISSUE AN "ACTIVATION OF SMCR UNITS/DETS" MESSAGE TO ALL AFFECTED UNITS.
M. THE DEPUTY COMMANDANT, MANPOWER AND RESERVE AFFAIRS (DC, MRA), IN CONSULTATION WITH DEPUTY ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF THE NAVY FOR RESERVE AFFAIRS (DASN(RA)) AND OTHER HEADQUARTERS MARINE CORPS AGENCIES, PROVIDES ANY AMPLIFYING MANPOWER POLICY NECESSARY TO ENABLE ACTIVATION.
N. UNIT CO/OIC ENSURES THAT PERSONNEL ACTIVATED AS PART OF A SELECTED MARINE CORPS RESERVE (SMCR) UNIT/DETACHMENT POSSESS THE IDENTIFIED MOBILIZATION MONITORED COMMAND CODE (MCC) PRIOR TO ACTIVATION.
O. UNIT CO/OIC ISSUES INDIVIDUAL ORDERS VIA THE MARINE RESERVE ORDERS WRITING SYSTEM (MROWS) TO EACH MARINE AND EXECUTES THE APPROPRIATE UNIT DIARY ENTRIES WITHIN MARINE CORPS TOTAL FORCE SYSTEM (MCTFS) AS PRESCRIBED BY THE MCTFSPRIUM.

IF A MEMBER IS INADVERTENTLY ACTIVATED, BUT HAS NOT YET DEPLOYED TO THE INTERMEDIATE LOCATION (ILOC) AND DESIRES TO SUBMIT A DDE PACKAGE, THE REQUEST MUST BE IMMEDIATELY COMPLETED AND SUBMITTED FOR ADJUDICATION. ONCE A MEMBER HAS DEPLOYED TO THE ILOC A REQUEST FOR DDE MAY NOT BE PROCESSED.
