Fitness Report Audit Program (FRAP) - S-1 Procedural Page

Role and responsibility

The S-1 chief runs FRAP at the unit level per MCO 1610.7BMCO 1610.7B Chapter 9. The S-1 officer signs the FRAP report. The PES clerk pulls source data from PES and MCTFS. The commander reviews FRAP findings on a fixed cycle.

Source documents flow from PES report history, MCTFS PES status flags, the unit PES register, and submission tickler logs. FRAP actions land as audit findings and corrective action routing. Outputs include the FRAP report, the corrective action log, the commander brief, and the audit folder maintained for inspection.

Per MCO 1610.7BMCO 1610.7B Chapter 9 (Fitness Report Audit Program), FRAP provides systematic audit of unit PES execution. The audit identifies gaps in submission timing, reporting chain accuracy, adverse report processing, and OMPF posting reconciliation.

Trigger events

• Periodic FRAP audit cycle opens per Chapter 9.
• IGMC or MCAAT inspection notice arrives requiring current FRAP.
• Marines past expected fitness report cycles identified.
• Adverse report processing audit cycle.
• Reporting chain accuracy audit cycle.
• New PES policy release requires FRAP refresh.
• Commander direction triggers FRAP outside cycle.

Processing workflow

1. Schedule FRAP audit cycle. Per MCO 1610.7BMCO 1610.7B Chapter 9, schedule per the order frequency.
2. Pull fitness report history. Generate PES history per Marine in the unit.
3. Cross-check MCTFS PES status flags. Confirm flags align with PES history per MCTFSPRIUMMCTFSPRIUM.
4. Audit submission timing. Cross-check against Chapter 3 paragraph 2 (Submission Schedule).
5. Audit reporting chain accuracy. Validate RS and RO assignments per Chapter 2.
6. Audit adverse report processing. Cross-check per Chapter 5 procedures.
7. Document audit findings. Capture in the FRAP report.
8. Route corrective action. Submit corrective transactions for any gap identified.
9. Brief the commander. The S-1 officer briefs FRAP results on a fixed cycle.
10. File the FRAP report. Stage in the unit PES audit folder for inspection.

Systems of record and forms

Systems

• PES. Source of fitness report history.
• MCTFS. PES status flags for cross-check.
• Unit PES audit folder. Local file of FRAP reports.
• MMSB Performance Evaluation Branch. National-level PES record.

Forms

• FRAP Report. Local format documenting audit findings.
• Corrective Action Log. Local format tracking remediation.
• Submission Tickler. Local format showing upcoming submission deadlines.

Common pitfalls

• FRAP skipped. The unit lacks audit posture. Run per Chapter 9 cycle.
• MCTFS PES flags not cross-checked against PES history. The MCTFS state diverges. Cross-check per MCTFSPRIUMMCTFSPRIUM.
• Adverse report processing not audited. Adverse procedures per Chapter 5 are high-risk. Include in FRAP.
• Reporting chain accuracy assumed not validated. The RS or RO designation grows stale on personnel turnover. Validate per Chapter 2.
• FRAP report not filed for inspection. The audit trail breaks. File at every audit cycle.

Decision points

• FRAP scope. Per MCO 1610.7BMCO 1610.7B Chapter 9, FRAP covers full PES execution. The S-1 officer scopes per cycle.
• Corrective action routing. Findings drive PES transactions or chain notifications. Route per the gap type.
• Escalation. When FRAP identifies systemic issue, the S-1 officer escalates to the commander.
