GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  On 15 August 2016, the Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) and the Deputy Commandant for Manpower and Reserve Affairs (DC MRA) convened the FY17 RCSB and RSLB.  The records of eligible applicants were reviewed for possible assignment to commands, senior leader billets and post-command colonel billets. Billets slated will become available from October 2016 to September 2017.
2.  The board selected 28 officers for command and 13 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 Marine 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.  CMC has approved the following Reserve Colonel Command Slate. Each billet is listed with title, unit, location, slate name and Primary Military Occupational Specialty (PMOS) with projected change of command (PCOC) date.
