The Force Preservation Council (FPC) process optimizes the potential of all active and reserve Marines and attached Service members (hereafter referred to as Service members) by identifying individual risk factors and applying holistic risk management (RM) measures in order to promote protective factors and enhance individual and unit readiness. In the past, commanders lacked access to integrated, objective, and holistic assessment of their Marines' overall readiness from a single source, to include medical, mental health, and command input. The lack of this vital information often resulted in adverse outcomes, including loss of life. The Command Individual Risk and Resiliency Assessment System (CIRRAS) provides commanders a single, standardized, web-based tool to enable proactive identification and assessment of individual risk and resiliency factors. The FPC process shall remain a commander’s responsibility while CIRRAS introduces consistency, standardization, and communication within a platform for FPC relevant data. This Marine Corps Bulletin is in accordance with references (a) through (r), and provides policy, assigns responsibilities, and outlines procedural and training guidance regarding CIRRAS.

This MCBul has been extended until 1 Oct 2023.
