Closing the Barn Doors After the Cows Have Left: MCRC's Solution to the Recruiter Shortfall

Abstract

Given the present operational tempo of the Marine Corps, it is important to get the most out of all of its assets. The Marine Corps Recruiting Command's (MCRC) current operating practice has proven inefficient, as demonstrated by the recruiter shortfall. MCRC has begun to increase the number of recruiters on the streets and has taken steps to maintain a clear personnel picture to accurately place recruiters where they are needed most. With additional tweaks, such as placing recruiters on production the month after PAR training and not allowing Marines to go back on leave immediately after checking in, MCRC can lessen the need for additional Marines from the fleet and allow those Marines to continue serving of the front lines in the war against terrorism.
