GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  Situation.  In response to the dynamic and changing manpower environment, and attempting to reduce the burden on commands, all branches of manpower management will synchronize in order to ensure unified manpower messaging, and address individual and command concerns.
2.  Mission.  From August to December 2016, MMOA will visit designated locations to conduct a series of briefs, in-calls, and interviews in order to update commands on manpower issues, and assist Marines to make well-informed career decisions.
3.  Execution
3.a.  Intent.  Provide commands with information pertaining to manpower management policies, procedures, and assignments, support career retention of Marines, and facilitate opportunities for Marines to discuss future assignments with their PMOS monitor.
3.b.  Concept of Operations.  The FY17 MMOA Command Visit schedule will interact along three lines of effort (LOEs) – strategic, operational, and tactical.  The strategic LOE encompasses Staff Principles within manpower management conducting Senior Leadership Engagements (SLEs) in person with component and MEF commands.  The operational LOE involves informational briefs about the most up-to-date manpower assignments, retention, promotions, and programs/policies.  The tactical LOE is the personal interview and interaction between individual Marines and their PMOS monitors.
