Publication of Marine Corps Order 5250.1, Human Resource Development Process (HRDP)

1.  Purpose.  This MARADMIN announces the publication of Marine Corps Order (MCO) 5250.1, Human Resource Development Process (HRDP).<br>
2.  Background.  The reference was published on 4 Mar 2021.  This Order formalizes HRDP members, roles, relationships, and processes currently published within multiple existing policies into one overarching order.  It defines the processes used to manage Active Component (AC) and Reserve Component (RC) human resources and illustrates how these processes are synchronized in order to support the Commandant of the Marine Corps' human resource requirements and maximize operational readiness in support of institutional requirements.<br>
3.  The Deputy Commandant, for Manpower and Reserve Affairs (DC, M&RA) is the Marine Corps HRDP owner.  The HRDP owner is responsible for defining the AC and RC manpower production requirements and managing the inventory of Marines to meet force requirements defined and approved by the Deputy Commandant, for Combat Development and Integration (DC, CD&I).<br>
4.  DC, M&RA, DC, CD&I, and the Commanding General, Training and Education Command (CG, TECOM) are the primary 3-Star pillar owners of the HRDP.  At two and one star levels, the Manpower Plans and Policy Division, Manpower Management Division, Reserve Affairs Division, Capabilities Development Directorate, Marine Corps Recruiting Command, and Training Command support the 3-Star pillars.<br>
5.  The HRDP maintains a symbiotic relationship with talent management, defined in the reference as the institutionally faithful and transparent manpower processes and policies, from recruitment through separation or retirement, where each Marine is provided the opportunity, mentorship, and guidance to develop and utilize their individual abilities and continue to effectively serve, based upon their demonstrated performance and future potential, in accordance with the needs of the Marine Corps.<br>
6.  Human resources development has both manpower management and budgetary elements.  As a result, the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) and Department of the Navy (DON) provide oversight.  DC, M&RA interacts routinely with both The Assistant Secretary of the Navy Manpower and Reserve Affairs (ASN M&RA) and The Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness (OSD P&R) for guidance and direction on Department of Defense (DoD) personnel and budget matters.<br>
