MARADMIN 601/21. Manpower Modernization Challenge.
GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. This message serves as an announcement for the Deputy Commandant Manpower and Reserve Affairs Manpower Modernization Challenge. The purpose of this challenge is to solicit original ideas from Marines, and government civilians from across the Marine Corps in order to find innovative ways to retain Marines. Each command is encouraged to maximize participation by disseminating this Manpower Modernization Challenge.
2. This Manpower Modernization Challenge will focus on reenlistment incentives. This message provides the challenge question, schedule, and instructions for submitting ideas. The challenge winner or winning team will have the opportunity to meet and partner with Manpower and Reserve Affairs for further concept development and implementation into the Human Resource Development Process.
3. Context for the Challenge. The Commandant’s Planning Guidance encourages the exploration of an incentives-based model capable of targeting incentives to specific individuals the Service wants to retain. Moreover, to maintain a competitive advantage needed to fight and win in the future operating environment, the Marine Corps must effectively attract, develop, and retain military and civilian talent by competing with tools and incentives available in the civilian market. Manpower and Reserve Affairs currently offers monetary incentives and considers duty station preferences during reenlistment campaigns. However, other incentives may better meet the needs of our most talented Marines. Reference (c) outlines the current Selective Reenlistment Bonus Programs.
4. The Challenge. What non-monetary reenlistment incentives should the Marine Corps consider incorporating in order to retain the right Marine with the right skills?
