Sharing fully in the Total Force concept, the Marine Corps Reserve provides one third of the manpower and one fourth of the structure available for mobilization. Our Ready Reserve, consisting of the Selected Marine Corps Reserve (SMCR), and the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR), is the primary source of this manpower. The preponderance of SMCR personnel form the Fourth Marine Division (MarDiv), Fourth Marine Aircraft Wing (MAW), and Fourth Service Support Group (FSSG), balancing combat, combat support, and combat service support forces which are ready to provide the trained units and individuals needed to bring the active Fleet Marine Force to full wartime capability. The remainder of the SMCR consists of Individual Mobilization Augmentees (IMA's) who fill mobilization billets within the active force which are considered critical requirements within the first ten days of mobilization. The IRR consists of members of the Ready Reserve who are not required to attend mandatory drill or training but may attend on a voluntary basis. IRR are subject to mobilization. The Reserve Personnel, Marine Corps (RPMC) appropriation provides the required funding to assure accomplishment of the Marine Corps Reserve mission.
