Department of the Navy Justification of Estimates FY 1990/1991 Biennial Budget Submitted to Congress January 1989. Reserve Personnel, Marine Corps
Abstract
Sharing fully in the Total Force concept, the Marine Corps Reserve provides one-third of the manpower and one-fourth of the structure available for mobilization. Our Ready Reserve, consisting of the Selected Marine Corps Reserve (SMCR), and Individual Ready Reserve (IRR), is the primary source of this manpower. The preponderance of SMCR personnel form the Fourth Marine Aircraft Wing (MAW), and Fourth Force Service Support Group (FSSG), balancing combat, combat support, and combat service support forces which are ready to provide the trained units and individual needed to bring the active Fleet Marine Force to full wartime capability. The remainder of the SMCR consists of Individual Mobilization Augmentees (IMA's) who fill mobilization billets within the Active Force which are considered critical requirements within the first 10 days of mobilization. The IRR consists of members of the Ready Reserve who are not required to attend mandatory drill or training but may attend on a voluntary basis. IRR are subject to mobilization. The Reserve Personnel, Marine Corps appropriation provides the required funding to assure accomplishment of the Marine Corps Reserve mission which is to provide trained units to selectively augment and reinforce the Active Forces, to provide a Marine Expeditionary Brigade Headquarters, or if augmentation/reinforcement is not ordered, to provide a Fourth Marine Division, Fourth Marine Division, Fourth Marine Aircraft Wing, and Fourth Fourth Force Support Group. Keywords: Tables data, Statistical data.
