The Marine Corps published updated Tables of Organization and Equipment (T/O&E) and the Authorized Strength Report (ASR) covering FY27 through FY47 on 20 August 2026. The Total Force Structure Management System (TFSMS) has been updated to reflect all approved force structure changes, including results from the 2026 Force Structure Review Group (FSRG). This MARADMIN cancels MARADMIN 034/26 and stays in effect until the January 2027 T/O&E and ASR are published.
Heads up: Reserve units need to validate their force structure requirements in DRRS against the current FY27 T/O&E now.
Who it affects
This applies to the Marine Corps Total Force, meaning active and reserve components. In practice, the people who need to act are unit S-3s, S-1s, and anyone responsible for readiness reporting or T/O&E change requests (TOECRs). Most individual reservists will not interact with this directly, but reserve units should ensure their readiness reports reflect the updated structure.
What you need to do
The action items here are for staff and command billets, not individual Marines.
- Validate your unit's force structure requirements in the Defense Readiness Reporting System (DRRS) against the published FY27 T/O&E.
- If your unit needs to submit a TOECR, note that the moratorium has been lifted. Submit through TFSMS to TFSD by 30 October 2026 for consideration in the January 2027 ASR.
- Before submitting a TOECR, confirm your unit has a current mission statement (renewed within 3 years). Submissions without one will be returned without action.
- TOECRs submitted for the January 2027 ASR must be planned for execution no earlier than FY30. Requests for earlier execution will be returned.
- Units activated or reorganized under Force Design decisions cannot submit TOECRs until the directed action from MCBUL 5400 is reported complete.
- Commands with civilian billets should review their T/Os for data hygiene: temp/term billets, contractor requirements, funded vs. unfunded billets, and DoW function and criteria codes.
