Marine Corps Reserve Organization
Mission, composition, and structure of the Marine Corps Reserve. The Reserve provides trained units and qualified individuals for active duty in time of war or national emergency.
Ready Reserve - SMCR, AR, and IRR
The Ready Reserve is the largest USMCR component and the primary mobilization pool. Three categories with different participation, pay, and admin processing rules.
Reserve Utilization Categories and Duty Types
MCRAMM defines reserve utilization categories that determine how a Marine drills, what they get paid, and what retirement points they earn. Knowing the categories drives correct admin processing.
Standby Reserve and Retired Reserve
Standby Reserve members have completed obligated service and have specific reasons preventing active drill. Retired Reserve members have retired but remain subject to recall under specific conditions.
