Marine Corps Mobilization Command is the general and most important branch operated by the United States Marine Corps Reserves. The installation is relatively new in the armed military. It showed up in 2004, after the Reserve Support Command was fully restructured and got a brand new face. The whole change was over in 2005. These days, the MC Reserves represents the widest command in the Marine Corps. The headquarters itself hosts not less than 40,000 individuals and close to 200 centers spread around the United States of America.
Mission
The primary mission of MC Mobilization Command is to deal with the reserve units in the Marine Corps. The units must constantly be ready to step in whenever the situation arises. They are supposed to be reinforced and become active during wars or other emergency situations. Other than that, during piece times, the units must stay fit and provide help for the surrounding communities when needed. Toys for Tots, for example, is one of the programs designed for the less fortunate human communities. The Marine Corps Reserves gather money or donate toys to those families who are not wealthy enough to provide such gifts to their kids for Christmas. However, this is just one program out of a wide variety of similar actions.
To make a long story short, MC Mobilization Command fully supports the IMA, IRR and the reserves in the Mobilized Training Unit. Its vision strongly connects to its mission. While attempting to fulfill its mission, the command stays in touch with most of its units spread throughout the United States of America. It makes sure they benefit from the best conditions and facilities, only to be able to provide a better job when they are needed.
History
MC Mobilization Command doesn’t have a very long history. In fact, its history belongs to the Reserve Support Command, which was restructured in 2004. It was also renamed to what it is today during the same year. On the other hand, the Marine Corps Reserve benefits from a longer history. It was established in the summer of 1916. It deals with training and support missions during both peace and war times. It is structured in five large branches. The headquarters of the command is located in Kansas City, Missouri.
Obligations
MC Mobilization Command may be designed for reserve troops, but its activity is very intense in an attempt to deal with all the conflicts the United States of America are involved in. Although they don’t represent a major threat, the wars in the Middle East are extremely important for the command. When it comes to the IMA obligations, the command is responsible for the administration of the reserve programs and the regulations the Marines have to stick to. As for the IRR, the Marines in this group must always keep the officials updated on their locations and activities, such as their address, phone number or marital status. As for the Mobilized Training Unit, the troops must perform at least 40 drill periods a year with the units they are assigned to. These drill periods are not paid.
