This MARADMIN announces the results of the FY17 Lieutenant Colonel Command Screening Board, which selected 142 primary officers and 72 alternates for command assignments available from June 1, 2017 to May 31, 2018. The board, convened on July 7, 2016, screened 561 lieutenant colonels for 142 operating and supporting establishment command billets across various military occupational specialties.
Issued: August 6, 2016
1. On 7 July 2016, the Commandant of the Marine Corps convened the FY17 Lieutenant Colonel Command Screening Board. The purpose of command screening is to ensure that Marines receive the best possible leadership and to provide all eligible officers with a fair and equitable opportunity to command. Two general officers and seventeen colonels screened the records of 561 lieutenant colonels and lieutenant colonels (sel) for assignment to 142 operating/supporting establishment commands. Billets considered will become available during the period of 1 Jun 17 to 31 May 18.<br> 2. The board selected 142 officers as primaries for command. To accommodate the assignment process and the availability of individual officers, 72 officers were selected as alternates and found eligible for command by the board. The alternate list provides an adequate number of officers to meet the command requirements should an officer decline command or otherwise be unable to take command.<br> 3. The quality of the Marines considered reaffirms that the Corps continues to produce and promote leaders of the highest caliber. The relatively small number of command billets available and the large number of eligible officers combine to make command selection an exceptionally competitive process.<br> 4. The Commandant of the Marine Corps has approved the following:<br> Name MOS Command<br> Albano, Andrew P. 7566 MWHS-3<br> Allen, Ryan P. 7202 MASS-1, MACG-28<br> Alvarez, Richard 7532 VMM-268,

The list of officers selected as alternates will be published via the MMOA-3 "Board Updates and Information" webpage located at https:(slash)(slash)www.manpower.usmc.mil/boardupdatesandinformation, and then selecting the "Lieutenant Colonel Command Screening" link. The list will be posted alphabetically by full name, MOS and current MCC. No action is required by officers on this list.

Officers who decline command, unless otherwise approved by the Deputy Commandant, Manpower and Reserve Affairs due to extraordinary circumstances, will not be considered for any other command during the slating year and are ineligible for command screening on future boards.<br> 8. Officers slated to command will schedule their attendance to the Resident USMC Commanders Program prior to, or shortly after, assuming command.
