MCTP 3-30G - Marine Corps Manpower and Personnel Administration

Scope

MCTP 3-30G, Marine Corps Manpower and Personnel Administration, is the doctrinal publication for personnel administration across the MAGTF. Where the MCAP assigns responsibilities and the PRIUM formats transactions, this publication supplies the doctrine, how manpower planning, personnel readiness, casualty replacement, and personnel support fit the fight. The function codes it defines structure the portal's admin content and the T&R events admin Marines train to.

Audience

• S-1 officers and chiefs applying the four functions to the unit mission.
• 0102, 0111, and 0170 Marines, whose T&R event identifiers carry this publication's function codes.
• Manpower planners at MARFOR and HQMC.

Chapter map

• Chapter 1. Fundamentals. Mission, principles, advocacy, and the administrative cycle framed as six lines of operation from requirement development through requirement redeployment. Table 1-1 applies the lines of operation across awards, staffing, evaluations, pay, and the other admin tasks.
