Publication of Fiscal Years 2026 Through 2046 Tables of Organization and Equipment
This MARADMIN announces the publication of the Fiscal Year 2026 through 2046 Tables of Organization and Equipment (T/O&E) and Authorized Strength Report (ASR), which were updated in the Total Force Structure Management System on 28 January 2026. The message details new manning allocation priorities, including a new "First Island Chain" Manning Precedence Level category to support 5% end strength growth and Indo-Pacific theater priorities, and announces a moratorium on military structure T/O&E Change Requests in preparation for the 2026 Force Structure Review Group.
Issued: January 29, 2026
1. Per ref (a), Total Force Structure Division (TFSD) has published the Fiscal Year 2026 (FY26) through FY46 Tables of Organization and Equipment (T/O&E) and the Authorized Strength Report (ASR). The Total Force Structure Management System (TFSMS) was updated on 28 January 2026 and incorporates all approved changes to the Marine Corps and Navy Manpower in Support of Marine Corps (NMISOMC) force structure since the previously published T/O&E and ASR. This MARADMIN cancels ref (b) and will remain in effect until the publication of the July 2026 T/O&E and ASR. 2. Manning Allocation Process. The ASR produces the optimal manning allocation, ensuring the best distribution of personnel across the force while attempting to meet all specified constraints. 2.a. The Average Strength ASR, used for staffing purposes, calculates strength averaged over a 12-month period to more accurately represent on-hand inventory. Manning percentages published in TFSMS reflect this Average Strength and are comparatively lower than the Target Strength ASR. 2.b. Manning Precedence Level (MPL). The MPL categories represent the Commandant of the Marine Corps' (CMC) manning priorities. The corresponding percentages represent to the maximum effect possible, the minimum manning threshold for all commands within the MPL category at the Unit Identification Code (UIC) level. 2.b.1. The manning controls and constraints for the January 2026 Target Strength ASR reflect the beginning of the 5% growth in End Strength as directed in Program Decision Memorandum II, starting in FY27. To meet CMC priorities for growth in the Indo-Pacific theater and to position Entry-Level Training (ELT) for success during the 5% End Strength growth, adjustments were made to MPL categories. 2.b.2. The following MPLs and manning percentages are in effect for the Target Strength ASR, which is used for planning and programming. Read in three columns: MPL Category Manning Percentage Manning Percentage P2T2: Officer 100% Enlisted 100% Excepted: Officer 100% Enlisted 100% FIC (see Note 1): Officer 100% Enlisted 100% Infantry Bn: Officer 100% Enlisted 100% ELT: Officer 100% Enlisted 100% Operating Force: Officer 94% Enlisted 96.5% Priority: Officer 92% Enlisted 93% Pro-Share: Officer 91% Enlisted 92% Note 1: The III MEF MPL category was replaced with a new "First Island Chain" (FIC) MPL category. The FIC MPL category includes III MEF, its subordinate commands, and adds the following commands: HQTRS MARFORPAC (M20022), MARFOR Japan (M20080), MCAS Iwakuni (M02203), MCAS Futenma (M02204), MCIPAC-MCB Camp Butler (M02216), H&S Bn MCIPAC-MCB Camp Butler (M67400), CATC Camp Fuji (M20229), and Camp Mujuk (M20810). 2.c. Staffing Precedence Levels. Staffing goals are established and managed by Manpower Management Integration Branch (MMIB), Deputy Commandant Manpower and Reserve Affairs (DC M&RA) based on MPLs in addition to current assignable inventories, Combatant Commander Global Force Management requirements, and other policies that further prioritize the distribution of Marines. As a result, commands may be staffed with fewer Marines than manned in the ASR. Staffing targets for officers and enlisted assignments were established against the July 2025 ASR relative to FY27 requirements. structure or manning changes in the Average Strength ASR resulting from approved in-year T/O&E Change Requests (TOECR) will be assessed by MMIB for staffing feasibility. Please contact MMIB for additional information. 2.d. Manning Change Requests. Individual requests to alter manned or unmanned billets on the ASR will not be considered; altering individual billet(s) undermines the intent of the ASR model and diminishes both optimality and fairness in force structure management. 3. Published ASR Data. TFSD maintains tools and resources to assist in reviewing and analyzing total force structure and manning data updated with the ASR publication on the TFSD SharePoint website (link in paragraph 6.a.). 3.a. Updated Table of Organization. Updated T/O&Es are viewable and may be downloaded from the TFSMS website. 3.b. Readiness Reporting. The Defense Readiness Reporting System (DRRS) is updated with force structure requirements from the current published FY T/O&E resident in TFSMS. Units should validate the force structure requirements in their unit's readiness report using the current published FY26 T/O&E in TFSMS or use the T/O&E link in the unit readiness report from DRRS. 4. Total Force Structure Initiative Assessments. To support the 2026 Force Structure Review Group (FSRG), the Total Force Doctrine, Organization, Training/Education, Materiel, Leadership/Synchronization, Personnel, Facilities, and Cost (TF DOTMLPF-C) Working Group (DWG) will limit initiatives to those in line with 2026 FSRG efforts. Any time sensitive, or DWG initiative directed to return for further assessment, will be addressed as part of the FSRG. Further details regarding the FSRG will be provided in separate correspondence from DC, CD&I. 5. TOECR Policy. DC CD&I has implemented a TOECR moratorium. In preparation for the 2026 FSRG, all military structure TOECRs are suspended until further notice. During the moratorium, TFSD will continue to accept and process TOECRs for civilian manpower that affect hiring actions and mission statements. 6. Points of contact: 6.a.
