Enlisted Assignments Website RAM-2 is comprised of Enlisted Assignments Monitors. Our mission is to effectively manage and assign AR personnel to validated billet requirements in a timely manner. This optimizes utilization of each Marine's skill, and provides the maximum benefit to both the Marine Corps and the individual Marine.


IRR Website IRR Marines have some administrative obligations and one training requirement (which is to attend an IRR Administrative Muster for administrative screening, if ordered).  There are also opportunities to continue serving while in the IRR. Lastly, there are various benefits, as members of the military during a time of war, that IRR Marines have available to them, most of which are through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).


Marine Corps Individual Reserve Support Activity (MCIRSA) The Marine Corps Individual Reserve Support Activity (MCIRSA) is a special staff section of the Force Headquarters Group, Marine Forces Reserve, that has staff cognizance for the management and administration of IRR Marines.  It is the successor entity to the Marine Corps Mobilization Command (MOBCOM) which was based in Kansas City, MO, but deactivated on 17 June 2011.  MCIRSA is assisted in the management and administration of IRR Marines by members of the Readiness Support Program (RSP).  RSP members are IMA Marines co-located with 62 of the 183 MARFORRES SMCR unit site locations throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.
