The Marine Corps will conduct a review of 67 enlisted and officer military occupational specialties to ensure promotion and retention of Marines at the correct rate given the Corps’ new force design<\/a> for 2030, according to a Marine Corps administrative message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The review, which was scheduled to begin Oct. 2, will only look at the active duty component and hopes to \u201ccorrect grade pyramid imbalances caused by Force Design,\u201d the early October MARADMIN said. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf unresolved, grade pyramid imbalances could lead to changes in promotion timing or unintended inventory development challenges such as low retention of lower grade inventory that ultimately causes inventory shortages in higher grades,\u201d the MARADMIN added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new force design was released by the Marine Corps in March,<\/a> and will see the Corps get rid of all its tanks, reduce the number of traditional field artillery batteries in favor of rocket batteries, reduce the size of F-35 squadrons and an overall reduction of 12,000 Marines across the force. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the months since the force design plan was rolled out, the Corps already has found \u201cimbalances\u201d in the jobs being reviewed in October, Maj. Joshua Benson a Marine Corps spokesman told Marine Corps Times in an email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are aware of imbalances, hence the initiation of the review,\u201d Benson said in the email. \u201cUpon the completion of the review, changes are expected to be distributed in the ASR being released in November 2020.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the 67 Marine Corps jobs being reviewed 63 are on the enlisted end and include a review of the 0231 intelligence specialist MOS, the 0321 reconnaissance Marine MOS, the 0844 field artillery fire direction control MOS and 5974 tactical data systems administrator MOS, the MARADMIN said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military occupational specialties related to aviation will be the most reviewed with 31 of the jobs that will be looked at coming from either aviation or avionics maintenance field, according to the MARAMIN.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
