This section manages the competitive selection boards that screen and select the Marine Corps' future operational and acquisition command teams. The Command Screening Program (CSP) was implemented to ensure Marines receive the best possible leadership and to provide all eligible officers with a fair and equitable opportunity to lead.
Pursuant to the talent management directives of MCO 5250.1, the goal of every command screening board is to select the best and most fully qualified officers for these critical leadership and command-equivalent billets.
