2. Promotion Boards. The Colonel through Major Promotion Boards
will consider three categories of officers: Above-Zone, In-Zone
and Below-Zone. For promotion to the grade of captain, eligible
officers will undergo an AFQOL selection process. Officers defined
as Reserve Active Status-List (RASL) in reference (b) are eligible
for the boards if, on the convening date of their respective board
or process, the officers have continuously performed service on
either the RASL or the Active-Duty List (or a combination of both
lists) for a period of one year. However, officers whose
established date for removal from the RASL is within 90 days after
the date the board is convened will not be considered by the board.
Officers whose established release date from active duty in the
Active Reserve (AR) Program, but not the RASL, is within 90 days
after the date the board convenes will not be considered by the
board. These officers will be considered by their respective
Unrestricted Reserve Promotion Selection Boards. Officers whose
Lineal Control Number (LCN) precedes the senior officer in-zone
are defined as above-zone. Those above-zone officers who have
not been previously considered are defined as "above-zone, not
previously considered". Officers in this status are considered by
the board to be in-zone. The senior and junior officer eligible

3. Merit-Based Promotion List Reorder. Section 14308 of Title 10,

promotion boards to reorder their recommended promotion list based
on particular merit. Officers on the Unrestricted Colonel, AR
Colonel, Unrestricted Lieutenant Colonel, AR Lieutenant Colonel,
Unrestricted Major and AR Major promotion lists may be placed higher
on the promotion list only if the officer receives the
recommendation of at least a majority of the members of the board,
unless the SECNAV establishes an alternative requirement. For
officers recommended to be placed higher on a promotion list, the
board shall recommend the order in which those officers should be
placed on the list.
4. USMCR AR Major and Captain Continuation and Retention Boards.
Upon conclusion of the lieutenant colonel and major promotion
selection boards, the boards will reconvene as continuation and
retention boards as specified below. Officers may verify their
eligibility for consideration by contacting Commandant Marine Corps
(CMC), Manpower Management Separations and Retirement (MMSR).
Officers in sanctuary (18 years of active service) will not be
screened for continuation or retention and will have an EAS set to
their active-duty retirement eligibility date.
4.a. Continuation Boards. Those officers whom a majority of the
members of the board consider best and fully qualified for
continuation to meet the needs of the Marine Corps may be continued
on the Reserve Active Status List (RASL). The period of
continuation will be until the officer completes 24 or 20 years of
commissioned service (grade dependent), is eligible for a reserve
retirement, or until the age of 62, whichever condition occurs
first. Those officers whom a majority of the members of each board
do not consider fully qualified for continuation will be separated
from the Marine Corps no later than the first day of the seventh
month after the release of the ALNAV announcing the promotion
selection board results that considered the officer for the second
time.
4.b. Retention Boards. If continued via the Continuation Board,
officers will then be boarded for retention in the AR program.
Those officers whom a majority of the members of each board
consider best and fully qualified for retention to meet the needs
of the Marine Corps may be retained in the AR program. The period
of retention will be 12 months, at which point the officer will
screen for promotion and retention on the following year's boards.
Those officers whom a majority of the members of each board do not
consider best and fully qualified for retention to meet the needs
of the Marine Corps will be released from the AR program to the
Individual Ready Reserve on the first day of the seventh month after
the release of the ALNAV announcing the promotion selection board
results that considered the officer for the second time.
4.c. FY26 USMCR AR Major Retention and Continuation Board.
The board will consider AR majors who, have twice failed
selection for promotion to lieutenant colonel for continuation on
the RASL and for retention in the AR program.
4.d. FY26 USMCR AR Captain Retention and Continuation Boards.
The board will consider AR captains who have twice failed
selection for promotion to major for continuation on the RASL and
for retention in the AR program.
5. Board Preparation Guidance. Officers are advised to review
reference (a) for guidance regarding submission of information,
auditing the Official Military Personnel File (OMPF) and Master
Brief Sheet (MBS), fitness reports, deferment of eligibility, and
requests for non-selection prior to the convening date of the board.
Officers may review reference (a) at the officer promotion homepage.
6. Personal responsibilities. Each officer is personally
responsible for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of their
