What Day 0-7 Means

The first seven days are the highest-density action period of your command. The 72-hour CMC notification, the fiscal appointment sweep, and access provisioning all happen in this window. Slipping any of them creates fiscal exposure, system access gaps, or notification deficiencies visible to HQMC.

[ NEW V4.0 ] MARADMIN 165/07MARADMIN 165/07 explicit rule: First GO in reporting chain sends message to CMC (MRA MM and PP&O) within 72 hours of CoC. Lists outgoing CO, incoming CO, and next anticipated CoC. Applies any time XO assumes command for any reason.

Sign DD Form 577DD Form 577 re-appointing all fiscal appointments: Supply Officer/APO, certifying officers, Disbursing Officer, GPC APC, fund holders, and DTS Authorizing Official. All predecessor appointments terminated at CoC. DD Form 577DD Form 577 covers both appointment and revocation.

Re-issue all "by direction" delegation letters under your signature. Predecessor delegations do not transfer.	MCO 5216.20MCO 5216.20; MCO 5215.1KMCO 5215.1K
Change all security container combinations where the previous commander or custodian was the sole holder.	SECNAV M-5510.36SECNAV M-5510.36

The "by direction" letter rule traps every new CO who treats their letters as inherited. Predecessor letters lose force at CoC. New letters under your signature are required for "by direction" authority to function.

System Access Provisioning

This is a multi-system action. Each system has a different point of contact and a different request mechanism. Sequence matters.

System	Action	Authority
MOL / MISSO	Submit trouble ticket to servicing MISSO with Assumption of Command letter and Manager Code (in your BIR). MISSO grants: MOL Commander Role, Report Commander Code, CLA Access, Marine Profile. Access through manpower.usmc.mil.	MISSO; manpower.usmc.mil
Command Profile	Submit request to smb.mra.webmaster@usmc.mil. Separate from MOL Commander Role granted by MISSO. Different system, different POC, separate action.	smb.mra.webmaster@usmc.mil; manpower.usmc.mil
Manpower Information Portal	Access full app directory at https://www2.manpower.usmc.mil/apps-home/	MIP: www2.manpower.usmc.mil/apps-home
iAPS	S-1 submits request to HQMC MMPB-31 (MMMA mailbox) with outgoing CO name, incoming CO name, Assumption of Command letter, and UIC. Authority does NOT transfer automatically.	HQMC MMPB-31; iAPS Help, manpower.usmc.mil
CROSS	Ensure CDRM (E-6/GS-9 or higher) is appointed in writing and updated with incoming CO's name. NAVMC 10030NAVMC 10030 due within 90 days - initiate now.	MCBul 5210 (29 Aug 2025); MCO 5210.11FMCO 5210.11F
GCSS-MC	Confirm User Role Appointment Letter signed and Supply AIS Administrator has updated permissions. Verify UUAM assignments.	MCO 4400.201MCO 4400.201 Vol. 1
DTS	Confirm DTS Authorizing Official appointment via DD Form 577DD Form 577. Review routing lists and pending de-obligation tasks after assumption.	DoD FMR Vol. 9DoD FMR Vol. 9; JTR
GTCC	Confirm role as unit Component Program Manager. Review delinquency report and APC appointment.	DoDI 5154.31DoDI 5154.31 Vol. 4; IGMC FAC #10

The MOL Commander Role and Command Profile are routinely confused. They are different. MISSO grants MOL access. The smb.mra.webmaster mailbox grants Command Profile. Both required, both separate actions.

Military Justice Day 0-7

Action	Authority
Take physical custody of UPB. Review all records using NAVMC 10132NAVMC 10132 (Rev. 08-2023). Calendar-year organization. 3-year retention.	MCO 5800.16MCO 5800.16 Vol. 14; NAVMC 10132NAVMC 10132 (Rev. 08-2023)
Contact servicing LSSS/T and establish liaison. Confirm which cases are under OSTC jurisdiction BEFORE any NJP or court-martial action.	MCO 5800.16MCO 5800.16 Vol. 12; MARADMIN 633/24MARADMIN 633/24
Brief yourself on all pretrial confinement cases. Confirm IRO review timelines are not overdue at transition.	RCM 305; MCO 5800.16MCO 5800.16 Vol. 12
Appoint Legal Officer in writing with name, title, duty address, and phone number.	MCO 5800.16MCO 5800.16 Vol. 12 Para 010302

The OSTC jurisdiction confirmation is the single most important Day 0-7 legal action. Imposing NJP or referring to court-martial on a covered offense without confirming OSTC has not exercised authority creates immediate procedural failure. Verify before any disciplinary action in the first week.

Day 0-7 Sequence

A workable sequence for the first week:

Day 0. Read orders, take command, sign DD Form 577DD Form 577 sweep within hours.
Day 0-1. First GO notification to CMC initiated by reporting chain. CIRRAS and FPC review of high-risk Marines.
Day 1-2. MISSO trouble ticket submitted. Command Profile request submitted. iAPS request from S-1 to MMPB-31.
Day 2-3. Re-issue by-direction delegation letters. Change combinations. Appoint Legal Officer in writing.
Day 3-5. UPB custody taken. LSSS/T liaison meeting. Pretrial confinement IRO timeline review.
Day 5-7. GCSS-MC, DTS, and GTCC role confirmation. CROSS CDRM appointment confirmed. Initiate NAVMC 10030NAVMC 10030.

This sequence is illustrative. Local conditions and case loads adjust the order. The constraint is the 72-hour CMC notification and the requirement that DD Form 577DD Form 577 sweep occur essentially at assumption.

Common Failures on Day 0-7

DD Form 577DD Form 577 sweep deferred past Day 1. The longer the delay, the longer fiscal authority is ambiguous. Sign within hours of assumption.
iAPS treated as automatic. S-1 forgets that authority does not transfer. Awards stall in the system. Submit the MMPB-31 request immediately.
OSTC jurisdiction not confirmed before first NJP. Incoming CO acts on a case the LSSS/T flag would have stopped. Confirm before action.
By-direction letters carried over. Staff continues using predecessor delegations. The first time someone signs "by direction" without a current letter, the action is voidable.
Combinations not changed. Predecessor or departed custodian retained access to a security container. SECNAV M-5510.36SECNAV M-5510.36 violation.
