Overview

1.  The Active Reserve (AR) Program provides a cadre of well-trained and experienced Reserve Component (RC) Marines to serve as a critical element of the Marine Corps full-time support to the RC.  AR Marines assist with organizing, preparing, and administering:  policies, regulations, training, instructing, recruiting, retention, and administration for the Marine Corps Reserve.  AR Marines facilitate the integration of the Total Force.  Marines approved to join the AR Program will fill a variety of billets in support of the RC across the globe. 

2.  Marines applying for accession to Active Duty within the AR Program must meet certain requirements.  Each Fiscal Year (FY), CMC (RA) assigns the Marine Corps Recruiting Command (MCRC) a mission to find the most qualified applicants by Military Occupational Specialty (MOS).  A Mission Memo is then released to identify a specific number of allocations to be filled by MOS and how many of these allocations have the option of retraining.  Retrain allocations are based on the amount of school seats available to CMC (RA) for the FY.  Marines interested in applying to the AR Program will submit AR packages through a local Prior Service Recruiter (PSR) or through their unit Career Planner (CP).  The PSR/CP submits these applications to CMC (RA) via the Total Force Retention System (TFRS).

Eligibility

All applicants must meet the qualifications outlined in the references. PSRs/CPs will screen applicants to ensure they are qualified and have completed an application in accordance with references.

RAM-1 updates the Reserve Opportunities & Obligations Brief (ROOB) used during the Transitional Readiness Seminar (TRS), and also provides individual transitional counseling for Marines interested in the Reserve component. The ROOB and many other helpful Reserve specific videos can be viewed through the Reserve Affairs Channel on Marinenet.

 Start planning now. Most transitional Marines have a contractual obligation to the Marine Corps Reserve when they reach their EAS and the default option is to complete their obligated service in the Individual Ready Reserve. However, the default choice may not be the best choice for every Marine. The Marine Corps Reserve has many options that provide rewarding future service.

 If desired you may join the SMCR straight from active duty through the Direct Affiliation Program (DAP) if you have at least 30 days remaining prior to your EAS or as early as 120 days out from your EAS. If any time after you EAS is spent in the IRR then you will need to contact a prior service recruiter for affiliation with a SMCR Unit. The Direct Affiliation Program provides transitioning AC Marines with a seamless transition of their careers to the RC upon their EAS. Marines in the DAP leave the AC with “orders” in hand to the SMCR to help ease the transition through the unknown. In addition to a reserve billet, the DAP provides 180 days of no-cost Tricare coverage after a Marine’s EAS. Affiliation with an SMCR unit gives AC Marines an instant network with fellow Marines who have made the transition to the reserve component and the local civilian job market. Retraining opportunities may be available based upon SMCR unit needs, applicant’s skills, and available funding of the SMCR Retraining Program (LatMov).  There may also be bonuses and travel reimbursement available for officers and enlisted that meet specific requirements. 

Reserve appointments for officers transitioning from the AC to the RC require 4 months to complete. In accordance with Article II, Section II, Clause II, of the U.S. Constitution, the President shall be commander in chief of the United States and shall have the power to appoint officers of the United States. Executive order 13358 delegates the appointment of armed forces officers to the Secretary of Defense. Title 10 section 12203 and Department of Defense Instruction 1310.02 state that officers on the Active-Duty List (ADL) will have a Regular appointment and all officers on the Reserve Active-Status List (RASL) will have a reserve appointment. The ADL contains all AC officers and the RASL contains all RC officers. The Reserve commission process is explained in MARADMIN 369/17. Once approved by SECDEF, you will need to accept the commission by signing a NAVMC 763 (MARADMIN 369/17).  After your EAS you will be transferred to the reserves, usually the IRR.  You are encouraged to join units of the Selected Reserve (SMCR, IMA, or AR). If you are selected for promotion to the next grade, it is advised that you set your EAS prior to your promotion date or allow 120 days after your promotion date for completion of your Reserve Commissioning process.  Open billets may be viewed by visiting the MARFORRES website.

More information can be provided by contacting the Prior Service Recruiter (PSR) near you or where you will be relocating to.

Special note, ensure you receive a copy of your last medical physical so if your medical information does not transfer over to MCTFS, admin and the corpsman at the unit can use those documents to update that information. 

According to Title 10, USC 14701, the Secretary of the Navy has the option of continuing reserve officers in the grades of major through colonel beyond the maximum service limitation of 20 years commissioned service (YCS), 28 YCS, and 30 YCS respectively, to 24 YCS, 33 YCS, and 35 YCS respectively.  Reserve officers in the grade of captain with two failures for selection to promotion to the next higher grade may be continued to 20 YCS.

Officers requiring continuation on the RASL will be automatically considered for continuation upon the release of the reserve officer promotion board results.

MMSR identifies which reserve officers require and are eligible for continuation upon the release of reserve officer promotion board results.  MMSR forwards a list of all officers eligible for continuation to

CMC(RA) for approval or disapproval of continuation.  CMC (RA) is the approval/disapproval authority for continuation.

RAM-1 screens all incoming and outgoing Reserve Officer Inter-Service Transfer (IST) requests.

Incoming IST

CMC (RA) will only review and evaluate IST applications that are submitted in conjunction with the annual Reserve IST Board.  The Reserve IST board is part of the Marine Corps Officer Retention Board (ORB) held in February or early March in accordance with SECNAVINST 1000.7F.

Outbound IST

Requests for ISTs to another service must be submitted through your chain of command to MMSR-5. The Commandant of the Marine Corps (RA) is the approving authority on all Reserve Officer IST requests.

All officers are eligible for transfer to another uniformed service except officers who:

a. Have not completed all obligated service incurred:

(1) During their initial appointment.

(2) For funded education programs including U.S. Naval Academy (USNA), Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps (NROTC), and equivalent funded education programs.

(3) For advanced education or technical training requiring additional obligated service, including postgraduate education, service school or college, law school, medical residency, flight training, naval flight officer training, nuclear propulsion training, and equivalent programs.

(4) For transfer to the Regular Navy, lateral transfer between competitive categories, or designators, entering a program.

(5) For an incentive pay, continuation pay, or bonus.

b.  Are serving in a competitive category, designator, occupational field, military occupational specialty (MOS) or other authorized officer classification in which the Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) determines that shortages against authorized strength necessitate retention.

c.  Are serving in the Navy in professional categories, other than the Judge Advocate General (JAG) Corps, and seek transfer to the Marine Corps or Coast Guard, since those services do not have equivalent categories.

d.  Have been officially notified of orders or have executed orders and have not served the period of time at the new duty station, prescribed by  CMC.

e.  Are Reserve officers on active duty who have been issued Release from Active Duty orders, unless the inter-service transfer request is received at least 6 months before the scheduled release date.

f.  Are Reserve officers on active duty who have attrited from training programs and who have no prior service in the gaining Services.

g.  Have failed selection for promotion to the next higher grade in the member’s present component (active or reserve) before submitting a request for transfer to another uniformed service.

h.  Have been notified of mandatory retirement for any reason.

i.  Have applied for transfer to the gaining service within the last year.

CMC (RA) may recommend exceptions on a case-by case basis with supporting justification when they find such action is in the best interest of their service.

Former officers of the Marine Corps or USMCR and other services who resigned in good standing or who were honorably discharged may be reappointed in the Marine Corps or USMCR, depending upon the needs of the Marine Corps.  Former officers seeking reappointment in the USMCR in a drilling status must contact a Prior Service Recruiter for the necessary paperwork and submission requirements.

Link to PSR website

RAM-1 screens completed officer reappointment packages, submits for necessary waivers, and routes the completed packages for final decision.

The originator routes an AA form and any additional supporting documentation through the chain for command for an endorsement.

The final endorser (Battalion or Squadron level) e-mails the request to the Reserve Affairs Personnel Management (RAM) Organizational Mailbox at (RAM-1@usmc.mil)

The sender will receive and automated e-mail notifying them that RAM-1 has received and is processing the request.  The Overall expected time to complete a request is 7 to 10 business days from the day received to the day a response is sent back to the last endorser.

The Commandant of the Marine Corps (RA) is the approving authority on all Reserve Officer requests.

If the request is disapproved, a disapproval letter will be scanned and e-mailed to the POCs involved in the original e-mail traffic.

If the request is approved, an approval letter will be scanned and e-mailed to the POCs involved in the original e-mail traffic.  Additionally, RAM-1 will certify the appropriate entries on Unit Diary.

Application for career designation is done through a board process, held concurrently with the Officer Accession Board, in order to continue serving on the AR Program at the conclusion of the initial accession tour. Processes, guidelines, and instructions will be promulgated by MARADMIN announcing the board. Officers are eligible to apply for career designation after having 540 cumulative days of observed fitness reporting while serving on the program from their original accession date. Those selected for career designation will be assigned an indefinite expiration of active service (EAS) and will be retained on the AR Program consistent with Marine Corps requirements, grade limitations, applicable statutory provisions, and service policy. Those not selected for career designation or those not applying for career designation will continue serving until reaching the expiration of active service date originally established at the time of initial accession.
