GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. On 9 June 2026, the Deputy Commandant for
Manpower and Reserve Affairs (DC M&RA) convened the Fiscal Year
2027 Recruiting Station Commanding Officer (RSCO) Selection Board
to select officers as RSCOs and identify alternates for duty
beginning in Fiscal Year 2027.
2. Marine Corps Recruiting Command is dedicated to recruiting high
quality men and women from across our nation to earn the title
Marine. To reinforce and continue ongoing recruiting success, a
board of 3 general officers and 12 colonels reviewed the records of
625 eligible officers and selected 18 for assignment as RSCO.
With a 2.9 percent primary selection rate, RSCO is an exceptionally
competitive process. The board selected an additional 36 highly
qualified officers as alternates. The board considered that the
pre-eminent quality required for RSCOs is proven leadership,
preferably demonstrated in dynamic environments in distributed
situations, and selected officers accordingly.
3. The following officers are approved as primary selectees for
Command (read in three columns):
