1.  Purpose.  To inform Commanding Officers of required changes to the FY21 SRB Program in order to support continuing force shaping efforts.

Marines with an ECC during FY21 will no longer be eligible for an SRB if approved after 30 June 2021.  A FY21 ECC is defined as:  Any Marine who has an ECC on the date of reenlistment between 1 October 2020 and 30 September 2021.
5.  Marines eligible for SRB amounts from 24 month extensions as detailed in reference (e) will remain eligible to submit for cross-FY extensions until 30 June 2021.  Marines should refer to future SRB MARADMINS for updates to eligibility criteria.
