MMEA Aviation Manpower Facts

• CVN - USMC F/W Squadron Deployment
• Unannounced / Untimely MCBul 3120 schedule
  changes
• Zero visibility of deploying avn dets size /
  composition
• Assignments per Staffing Goal - unit must make
  maximum use
• Net Effect - late arrival (post lock-on) of
  select MOS
• MMEA strives to ensure, at minimum, unit
  leadership on deck prior to start of
  Pre-deployment Training (PTP)
• Staffing lock-on for avn units is D-180 for
  FY09-1

MMEA Aviation Manpower Issues

• Deployment Staffing Report (DSR)
• Timely and accurate submission by G-1 is key
• Marine Corps Total Force System (MCTFS) -
  accurate Info
• Overseas Control Date, Stab Codes, AMOS, etc. -
  lean on your IPACs
• Reassign EAS non-deployables
• HQMC PCS / PCA orders Not Optional
• G-1s notify MMEA of individual/unit problems ASAP
• TAD / FAP Assignments - count toward your
  staffing goal
• MMEA does not assign replacements
• Enlisted Retention / Extensions
• COs RELM recommendations / comments - important
  and submit early
• Marines and Special Duty Assignment
• Inventory cannot always support a timely
  replacement - 61/62xx
• School graduate replacement - leadership
