The conditions led to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinecorpstimes.com\/news\/your-marine-corps\/2024\/03\/25\/heres-how-the-marine-corps-wall-to-wall-barracks-inspections-went\/\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cwall-to-wall\u201d inspections <\/a>of the Corps\u2019 more than 60,000 barracks rooms last year as Marine Corps Commandant Gen. Eric Smith\u2019s launched a barracks overhaul initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The inspections found that half of all barracks rooms were \u201cpartially mission capable,\u201d which means the rooms were deficient in at least one of the regulated living standards, Marine Corps Times previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinecorpstimes.com\/news\/your-marine-corps\/2024\/10\/23\/marines-tackle-barracks-repairs-with-elbow-grease-outside-expertise\/\" target=\"_blank\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As part of the initiative, the Corps will consolidate Marines in the better buildings and demolish the worse ones, hire professional barracks managers and increase funds for barracks restoration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Assistant Commandant Gen. Christopher Mahoney previously said initial inspections were the \u201cbaseline\u201d for understanding where the Corps should focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The \u201cBarracks 360 Reset,\u201d which includes Operation Clean Sweep, is a local initiative between I Marine Expeditionary Force and Marine Corps Installations-West to address immediate issues as the Corps works on its larger Barracks 2030 plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Barracks 360 seeks to address some low-level fixes by pairing experts in areas such as drywall repair, window screen replacement and air conditioning installation with Marine staff to make minor repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I Marine Expeditionary Force and Marine Corps Installations-West are investing nearly $9.6 million in housing maintenance and repairs, as of 2024. Operation Clean Sweep II was funded by Headquarters Marine Corps at a cost of $6.27 million. Headquarters contributed another $4 million in quality of life improvements not directly tied to the second operation, 1st Lt. Troy Garza, IMEF spokesman, told Marine Corps Times in an email statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than half of the funding was spent on a \u201csurge\u201d to clear backlogged maintenance. Remaining money was spent on air-conditioning units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Marines have also identified housing rights and responsibilities and minimum acceptable standards for barracks rooms in a \u201cresident\u2019s guide.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMarines now feel the barracks have become an actual home, transforming it from a \u2018prison cell,\u2019 as some described it, into a more comfortable space to look forward to after the workday is over,\u201d Torres said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Current plans call for IMEF, and subordinate units such as 1st Marine Logistics Group, to hold such clean sweeps twice a year, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dvidshub.net\/news\/492300\/7th-esb-marines-execute-barracks-quality-changes-support-operation-clean-sweep\" target=\"_blank\">release<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In October, Marines at Camp Pendleton, California held a two-week standdown to address barracks housing problems across the base, Marine Corps Times previously reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a separate effort, the Corps rolled out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stmlg.marines.mil\/Portals\/123\/QSRMax%2011x17%20%28002%29.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">QSRMax system<\/a> in July, which allows Marines to submit maintenance requests to USMCMax through a QR code on their phone. QSRMax then sends requests to barracks and building managers on the base, Marine Corps Times <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinecorpstimes.com\/news\/your-marine-corps\/2024\/10\/23\/marines-tackle-barracks-repairs-with-elbow-grease-outside-expertise\/\" target=\"_blank\">previously reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marine housing conditions had deteriorated as the Corps prioritized spending on weapons and training over the past two decades during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo, again, I can\u2019t apologize for previous generations of Marines to prioritize training and equipping over quality of life,\u201d Marine Corps Commandant Gen. Eric Smith said in May 2024. \u201cBut now the tide has to turn, and we have to get back to quality of life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A 2023 Government Accountability Office report found \u201cmold, dysfunctional plumbing, and poor heating and cooling\u201d in many Marine barracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of 2024, an estimated 87,000 Marines live in barracks, Maj. Gen. David Maxwell, head of Marine Corps Installations Command, wrote in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mca-marines.org\/gazette\/barracks-2030\/\" target=\"_blank\">Marine Corps Gazette article<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The article noted that 17% of the Corps\u2019 658 barracks buildings were listed as in \u201cpoor or failing condition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of March 2023, an estimated 17,000 Marines, or 20%, lived in barracks that fell short of military standards regarding privacy and room configuration, according to the GAO report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recently, the Corps has spent an average of about $200 million annually for barracks maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Corps requested $274 million in its fiscal 2025 budget to address barracks conditions, a $65 million increase over fiscal 2024. The service\u2019s total fiscal 2025 budget was $53.7 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An internal memo obtained by Marine Corps Times in 2024 showed that the service estimates it will need about $1.5 billion each year to bring all its barracks up to \u201cgood\/fair\u201d condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of 2024, the Corps\u2019 deferred maintenance amounted to more than $15.8 billion, according to Navy budget documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>*CORRECTION: This article has been updated to accurately reflect funding figures
