GENTEXT/REMARKS//
1. Situation. Activity Manning Manager (AMM) roles and
responsibilities within the Marine Corps are essential to mission
readiness of Navy personnel. The AMM serves as the link between
USMC commanders, Navy Personnel Command (NPC), and Total Force
Structure Division (TFSD).
2. Mission. This MARADMIN formally establishes standard practices,
duties, and responsibilities for AMMs assigned to Marine Corps
commands. It further establishes the coordination mechanisms that
AMMs must operate to ensure timely and effective management and
distribution of Navy staffing in support of the Marine Corps. Refs
(b) and (c) provide policy and procedural guidance that authorize
AMMs to monitor and report personnel status, coordinate with Navy
placement coordinators, and align sailors to billets based on rate,
Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC), Paygrade, and Projected Rotation
Date (PRD).
3. Execution. AMMs report via G-1 channels on behalf of their
respective commander. AMMs are organizationally aligned within the
G-1 of the command to which they are assigned, and they shall report
all personnel staffing issues directly to the AC/S G-1. AMMs are
primarily responsible for the management and distribution of Navy
officers and enlisted personnel in support of the Marine Corps and
must execute the following core functions.
3.a. Billet and Personnel Alignment Oversight
3.a.1. Monitor and reconcile Sailor-to-billet alignment data on My
Navy Assignment (MNA) site, Navy Standard Integrated Personnel
System (NSIPS), and command Activity Manning Documents (AMD) to
ensure accuracy of PRDs, Prospective Gains (PG), NEC, and that
personnel paygrades match billet authorized requirement or pay band.
Per ref (c), AMMs are authorized to review these attributes in MNA,
submit alignment requests, and flag errors to ensure accurate
requisitions are generated on behalf of the command. Additionally,
verify alignment and matching of billets between the Navy's Total
Force Manpower Management System (TFMMS) and the Marine Corps' Total
Force Structure Management System (TFSMS).
3.a.2. Submit or request Personnel Manning Action Request (PMAR)
such as Member Realignment Request (MRR), Operational Hold (OPHOLD),
cross-deck, divert, order modification, completion of tour
(COMPTOUR), orders cancellation, and PRD adjustment to mitigate
staffing shortfalls. As outlined in ref (c), AMMs are responsible
for initiating PMAR based actions to correct or optimize alignments,
ensuring fit/fill standards are met.
3.a.3. Proactively plan with G-1 leadership to prioritize and
submit billets via chain of command (Marine Expeditionary Force
[MEF] and component) to TFSD, manpower Budget Submitting Office
27 (BSO27) within established requisition cycle to facilitate
advertising command billets on MNA.
3.a.3.1. Reporting of staffing issues begins at the Major
Subordinate Command (MSC) level, where AMMs and G-1s will analyze
personnel staffing data, identify discrepancies, and develop
consolidated reports.
3.a.3.2. Validated reports will be forwarded to the MEF AMMs and
G-1 for aggregation, quality control, and resolution.
3.a.3.3. Type Commander (TYCOM) and NPC are responsible to liaise
with U.S. Fleet Forces Command (USFFC) and Manning Control
Authority (MCA) for assistance resolving staffing issues across
BSO27.
3.b. Readiness and Inventory Management
3.b.1. Monitor command minimum staffing threshold data on MNA
daily. Effectively manage personnel inventory, to include limited
duty (LIMDU) and pregnancy availability. Submit PMAR to notify NPC
and TYCOM of request to realign personnel.
3.b.2. Manage local staffing of Navy officer and enlisted billets,
and communicate any staffing needs to TYCOM to mitigate staffing
deficiencies.
3.b.3. Train and advise command leadership (USMC) on Navy enlisted
and officer personnel management programs and staffing processes to
bridge knowledge gaps and ensure accountability and traceability of
Navy personnel.
3.c. Systems Proficiency and Administrative Maintenance. AMMs are
responsible to use manpower and personnel resources and systems such
as: MNA, NSIPS, TFMMS, TFSMS, Defense Readiness Reporting System
(DRRS), and Marine Online (MOL) to manage personnel resources.
Ref (c), para 4.e, outlines AMM systems access roles and requires
AMMs to maintain accuracy of personnel data via these systems,
acting as the primary unit representative.
3.d. Strategic Engagement and Planning
3.d.1. Per ref (d), para 8, AMMs shall notify TYCOM via AMM teams
channel or email of all circumstances where a unit is missing or
projected to miss minimum thresholds no later than 60 days prior to
an employment/deployment date (d-date), or when unit staffing levels
fall below minimum thresholds from d-date through employment and
deployment.
3.d.2. AMMs, G-1, or command designated representative shall attend
the BSO27 annual AMM symposium and monthly training on teams per ref
(f).
3.d.3. As required, AMMs shall coordinate with applicable Navy
stakeholders to ensure Subject Matter Experts (SME) are engaged in
any Table of Organization and Equipment Change Requests (TOECR)
impacting Navy structure.
4. Administration and Logistics
4.a. Administrative guidance, reporting requirements, and reference
materials are available via the AMM teams channel established by
TFSD Navy Branch to support the AMM community across BSO27.
4.a.1. The AMM teams channel will serve as the primary venue by
which all AMM collaboration and coordination will occur.
4.a.2. It is critical that appointed AMMs submit appointment
letters signed by their commanders to gain access to the restricted
portions of the AMM channel that contains Controlled Unclassified
Information (CUI).
4.b. Per ref (c), commands shall ensure all AMMs have access to
MNA, TFMMS, TFSMS, DRRS, and MOL to effectively monitor and manage
Navy personnel staffing.
4.c. BSO27 TYCOM maintains oversight of the AMM community
enterprise-wide. All AMMs assigned to USMC commands are required to
notify TYCOM and placement coordinators upon reporting to their
assigned unit to ensure communication and successful integration
into BSO27 AMM community.
4.d. Per ref (a), for purposes of this MARADMIN, the term
"staffing" refers to personnel inventory.
4.e. This MARADMIN will be included in future editions of the MCO
5311.1E Total Force Structure Process.
