GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  On 10 Aug 15, the Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) and the Deputy Commandant for Manpower and Reserve Affairs (DC, MRA) convened the FY16 RCSB and RSLB.  The records of eligible applicants were reviewed for possible assignment to operating and or supporting establishment commands, senior leader billets and post-command colonel billets.  Billets slated will become available from Oct 15 to Sep 16.
2.  The board selected 31 officers for command and 8 officers for senior leader billets.  Additionally, the board selected 36 officers as alternates for command and senior leader billets.  The alternate list provides names of screened officers to meet the command and senior leader requirements should any officer from the primary list decline or be unable to command.
3.  All officers slated for command and senior leader billets, including all alternates, will receive a letter from CMC (RA) notifying them of selection.  This letter will be included in their Official Military Personnel File (OMPF).
4.  The quality of the Marines considered reaffirms that the Corps continues to produce leaders of the highest caliber.  The relatively small number of command billets available and the large number of eligible officers create an exceptionally competitive process.  The command slating process has one purpose: to ensure that our Marines receive the best possible leadership.
5.  The CMC has approved the following Reserve Colonel Command Slate. Each billet is listed with title, unit, location, billet identification code (BIC) and the slate (name, PMOS) with projected change of command  date.

9.  Acceptance and Declination.  Officers selected as primaries will receive a letter from CMC (RA) directing them to accept or decline assignment in writing to CMC (RA) within 30 days of receipt of letter.  Officers submitting letters of declination must do so via the first General Officer in their chain of command.  Those officers will not be considered for any other commands during the screening year.  A copy of this correspondence will be forwarded from CMC (RA) to CMC (MMRP-20) and filed in the officer’s OMPF.  Officers failing to respond within 30 days of receipt of their letter will be considered to have declined the slated billet.  CMC (RA) will notify COMMARFORRES of all declinations of command or senior leader billets.
10.  The list of officers selected as eligible alternates for command will not be published via MARADMIN.  The alternate list is published on the CAC-enabled RAM-4 website https://www.manpower.usmc.mil/portal/page/portal/M_RA_HOME/RA/RAM/CURRENT_OPS_%20PROGRAMS_(RAM-4).  Command and senior leader vacancies will be filled by officers from the alternate list.  The list is valid until the convening of the next RCSB and RSLB.
11.  Officers slated in paragraphs 5, 6 and 8 must schedule attendance at Cornerstone prior to or shortly after assuming command or assignment.  The two-week course will be conducted aboard MCB Quantico and the FY16 programs are anticipated to be announced via MARADMIN in Oct 15.  Further info is available from MCU online at https://www.mcu.usmc.mil/lleadership/SitePages/ccpsw.aspx.  POCs for the Cornerstone Program are Major Benjamin P.
