The Marine Corps announced results of the FY27 Total Force Integrator (TFI) Free MOS Selection Board for AR enlisted Marines. The board convened April 1, 2026. Seven primary selectees were named. If you're on the list, you have hard 30-day deadlines hitting immediately.

Bottom line: Primary selectees have 30 days from message release (April 21, 2026) to contact their MOS monitor, complete two prerequisite courses, initiate their TS/SCI clearance request, or submit a declination.

Who it affects

This MARADMIN applies only to the AR program. Specifically:

  • The seven named primary selectees
  • Alternate selectees (their list is not published here; see the manpower portal)

What you need to do

If you are a primary selectee, complete all of the following within 30 days of April 21, 2026:

  1. Contact your primary MOS monitor about your selection and billet slating.
  2. Begin the prerequisite training courses: GF1101 (Global Force Management Overview) and JD1101 (JOPES Overview). HQMC (RAM-5) will coordinate enrollment in the remaining required courses.
  3. Have your unit security manager initiate your TS/SCI clearance request.
  4. If you intend to decline, submit a declination via AA form, endorsed by the first General Officer in your chain of command, to HQMC (RAM-3).

To accept or decline formally, use the survey at: https://www2.manpower.usmc.mil/application_cac/edu/index.jsp

Full required training sequence (HQMC will coordinate enrollment after prerequisites):

  1. Global Force Management Overview (GF1101) — prerequisite, self-initiated
  2. JOPES Overview (JD1101) — prerequisite, self-initiated
  3. Joint Capabilities Requirements Manager Course (GF1102)

  5. JOPES Action Officer Course (JD2101)
  6. Joint Operational Contract Support Planning and Execution Course Lite
  7. Joint Logistics Course (SC 907)

TFI FMOS (0557) is awarded once all training is complete and TS/SCI eligibility is confirmed. HQMC (RAM-5) sends the confirmation letter; HQMC (RAM-1) reports the FMOS.

Alternate selectees: You will not receive a letter unless you are called up to fill a primary selectee shortfall. Check the alternates list at https://www.manpower.marines.mil under Divisions, then Reserve Affairs Division, then Reserve Affairs Management (RAM), then Reserve Boards and Programs (RAM-3).

Conditional release: If you're a primary selectee and request transfer to another component or branch, your release date will not be approved before you complete a 24-month utilization tour.

Key dates

  • NLT May 21, 2026 (30 days from message release): Contact MOS monitor, complete GF1101 and JD1101, initiate TS/SCI request, or submit declination.
