1. Purpose. This MARADMIN announces the modernization of the Supply Chain Material Management occupational specialties. 2. Background. The Deputy Commandant for Installations and Logistics (DC I&L), in coordination with Combat Development and Integration (CD&I), Manpower & Reserve Affairs (M&RA), and Training and Education Command (TECOM), evaluated the Marine Corps Supply Chain Material Management occupational field. They determined that modernization is needed to improve supply capabilities to better support the Force Design requirements in reference (A). The analysis resulted in the merging of Primary Military Occupational Specialties (PMOS), 3043 Supply Chain and Material Management Specialist, and 3051 Inventory Management Specialist at the rank of Sergeant to the combined Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) of 3047, Supply Chain Manager, which will include Sergeant through Master Gunnery Sergeant. Supply Chain Managers enhance the Marine Corps by ensuring timely and efficient delivery of critical resources and equipment to Marines in various operational theaters. This efficiency improves readiness by reducing downtime and ensuring that Marines have what they need when and where they need it. Overall, effective Supply Chain Management contributes to a more agile and prepared Marine Corps Installation and Logistics Enterprise (MCILE) capable of fulfilling its sustainment requirements in reference(B). 3. In coordination with CD&I, M&RA, and TECOM changes to the Supply Chain Management field are reflected in the FY25 MOS Manual. 4. Coordinating Instructions. 4.a.
