Applications are now being accepted for fiscal year 2015 active-duty opportunities available to enlisted Marines through the Active Reserve program.

The AR program provides a force of well trained and experienced full-time, Reserve-component Marines to facilitate the integration of the Total Force. The Total Force ensures the Marine Corps, as a whole, is ready to complete missions throughout the world.

AR program benefits include active-duty pay and entitlements, including the potential to attain active duty retirement benefits.  The Reserve component seeks to access 230 enlisted Marines to the AR program during FY15.

Applicants with nine months or more on their contract can be processed through a prior-service recruiter. Marines unfamiliar with the supporting prior-service recruiter in their area can visit marines.usmc.mil or call (703) 784-9782 for referral information.
