Per REF A-M, the following guidance updates Service policy and procedures to support the continued  planning, execution, and sustainment of the Marine Corps Training Mission – United Arab Emirates (MCTM-UAE) and associated Foreign  Military Sales (FMS) cases through 2029. This MARADMIN provides updated Service-level guidance regarding personnel assignment  policy, pre-deployment training requirements for inbound  MCTM-UAE Marines, and procedures for requesting support from the Fleet Marine Force and supporting establishment for CONUS-based  training and exercise events with the UAE Presidential Guard (PG). This MARADMIN supersedes and cancels MARADMIN 123/17. 2.  Background.  2.A.  MCTM-UAE is a Title 22-authorized security assistance mission executed by the Marine Corps to train and advise the UAE PG.  Since April 2011, this mission has consisted of two primary  components: Marine advisors assigned in-country with the PG  Headquarters and with brigade-level units; and annual CONUS deployments for training (DFT) of PG units to train and exercise with Marine units at Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center (MCAGCC), Twentynine Palms, CA; Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center (MCMWTC), Bridgeport, CA; Camp Pendleton (CPEN), CA; and  Camp Lejeune, NC (CLNC).  2.B.  IAW REF A, the Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) has  re-committed to both components of this mission through the end of FY29, but with new limits for MCTM-UAE structure and Service support of PG CONUS DFTs. The Marine Corps will continue to be financially  reimbursed for personnel assigned to MCTM-UAE and for CONUS training activities through the extension of related FMS cases with the  UAE. 2.C.  Changes to the manpower structure and to the design of  engagements reflect an understanding that the USMC-UAE PG  relationship has matured from small-unit tactical advisors to  brigade-level advisors focused on task organization, unit training  management, and facilitation of CONUS training events, exercises,  and bilateral engagement.  2.D.  Within the context of CMC planning guidance and USMC security cooperation strategy, the Marine Corps intends to transition its partnership with the UAE PG from FMS training to regular Title 10 engagement. This transition includes the off-ramp of Permanent  Change of Station Orders (PCSO)-assigned Marines to the MCTM-UAE program by the end of FY29. Marines assigned to MCTM-UAE FY25-29 will assist MARCENT planners in developing an off-ramp plan and support communication of the plan to USEMB Abu Dhabi and UAE  leadership.  3.  Policy. 3.A.  Personnel Assignment. 3.A.1.  MCTM-UAE will be staffed via PCSO until the end of FY29 to provide flexibility in Marine assignments and to enhance  relationships and rapport with foreign military officials.  The preferred sourcing will be for two-year, accompanied orders. One-year, unaccompanied orders will be considered on a case-by-case basis. 3.A.2.  PCSO require losing commands to take specific actions and  provide oversight on critical pre-PCS requirements necessary to prepare and train Marines before reporting to MCTM-UAE. 3.A.3.  IAW REF I, MCTM-UAE Marines, and their families,  if accompanied, must be medically qualified for world-wide  deployment, per standard DON medical screening processes,  and subsequent in-country Department of State/U.S. Embassy (DOS/USEMB) medical authorities. 3.A.4.  Upon receipt of PCSO, Marines will receive reporting  instructions from the MCTM-UAE Officer in Charge (OIC) detailing the requirements for PCS and pre-PCS training. 3.A.5.  In addition to traditional service component functions, the Commander of Marine Forces Central Command (COMUSMARCENT) will  exercise administrative control (ADCON) of MCTM-UAE Marines to  include pay, entitlements, awards, and assisting with coordination of MCTM-UAE Marines’ pre-PCS requirements. 3.A.6.  IAW Title 22 authorities, MCTM-UAE personnel operate under chief of mission authority and are prohibited from participating in contingency, combat, or other operations with the UAE PG. 3.B.  Pre-Deployment Training for Marines Assigned to MCTM-UAE. 3.B.1.  The Pre-Deployment Training Program (PTP), conducted  annually for inbound MCTM-UAE Marines, will consist of  three training packages: 3.B.1.A.  IAW REF H, USMC-led foreign advisor training tailored to the MCTM-UAE Mission, such as the modified Marine Advisor  Course (MAC).  3.B.1.B.  IAW REF I, Foreign Area Counter Threat (FACT) training through the DOS Foreign Service Institute. 3.B.1.C.  IAW REF M, training, as required, on the duties relating to the arrival and escort of foreign military personnel on Marine Corps installations and the policies and procedures  governing the disclosure of military information to representatives  of foreign governments. Completion of the following training will  be at the direction of the MCTM-UAE OIC before or after arrival  in UAE:   3.B.1.C.1  International Military Student Office Manager (IMSO). MCTM-UAE personnel may be called upon to act as IMSO for PG soldiers participating in USMC courses. The IMSO course is provided virtually by the Defense Security Cooperation University; contact the TECOM Security Assistance (SA) Branch to coordinate course entry.  3.B.1.C.2  Contact Officer training. MCTM-UAE personnel will on  occasion act as contact officers for visiting delegations of PG.  Contact officer training is always available on MARINENET  (course number: FDO2CTOF01). 3.B.1.C.3  Foreign Disclosure Officer training. MCTM-UAE personnel are required to be well-versed in the subject of Foreign Disclosure. This is key to identifying and protecting information that is not releasable to international partners. FDO course is in-person and available at multiple USMC installations throughout the year.  Contact the PLU CENTCOM Desk Officer for list of available times  and dates.  3.B.2.  Personnel in receipt of PCSO to MCTM-UAE will execute FMS  case-funded Temporary Additional Duty (TAD) to identified locations for training prior to detaching from the losing command.   MCTM-UAE OIC will provide coordination instructions to losing  commands.   3.B.3.  Temporary Duty Under Instruction (TEMINS) is not a viable option for PTP due to constraints of scheduling the required  training and the requirements of the PCS cycle.  3.B.4.  MARCENT will provide a line of accounting (LOA) for TAD  orders to support pre-PCS training.  Training and travel are  FMS-case funded, via MARCENT disbursal and oversight.  3.B.5.  Receipt of the 0571, Foreign Security Force (FSF)  Operational Advisor Free Military Occupational Specialty (FMOS). 3.B.5.A.  IAW REF H, Marines assigned to MCTM who complete the modified MAC must complete a minimum of six (6) months as a PG advisor prior to eligibility for the 0571 FMOS. 3.B.5.B.  MCTM Marines who participate in other Services’ or  interagency advisor training in lieu of the modified MAC must receive a waiver from HQMC PP&O PLU prior to eligibility for the 0571 FMOS.      3.B.5.C.  MCTM-UAE OIC is the approving authority for MCTM Marines applying for 0571 FMOS. MARCENT IPAC or the gaining IPAC of a Marine completing a MCTM tour may process the approved 0571 FMOS.   3.C.  UAE PG CONUS Training and Exercise Events. 3.C.1.  Background.  The PG participates in CONUS-based training, exercises, and other bilateral engagement to build readiness,  improve interoperability with USMC units, and to develop  expeditionary competency. The Marine Corps supports these events because they align to USMC and CENTCOM security cooperation  objectives and foster positive relations with a strategic regional partner. Support from the Fleet Marine Force is essential to the  success of CONUS engagements with the UAE PG and to the resilience  of the overall partnership. 3.C.2.  IAW REF A, and in recognition of current fleet operational tempo, the CMC has approved a new limit of (4) PG CONUS DFTs per  fiscal year FY25-29. Annual PG CONUS DFTs will be the following  types unless otherwise requested and approved via formal message  traffic to DC PP&O: 1x DFT CPEN, 1x DFT CLNC, 1x integration in Service Level Training Exercise (SLTE), 1x Mountain Warfare  Training Exercise (MTX). 3.C.3.  In alignment with the maturing nature of the partnership, the leaders of both forces desire a greater focus on regular  bilateral exercises and interoperability engagement  (Title 10 authority), while retaining the ability to conduct formal training (Title 22 authority). It is expected that the PG  detachments will execute both Title 10 activity and Title 22  training with Marine units during CONUS DFTs. This requires  careful planning and design of each DFT iteration to ensure  appropriate identification of the authority to conduct an activity and to capture full reimbursement of USMC cost for the Title 22  training.   3.C.3.A.  MARCENT, ICW PP&O PLU, will assist MCTM-UAE in determining the appropriate Title authority of a UAE PG – USMC activity where ambiguity exists. MARCORSYCOM-International Programs (MCSC-IP) and  TECOM SA Branch will determine if an activity can be reimbursed by the FMS cases in REF B and C.  3.C.3.A.1.  For unique training requirements that are requested by the UAE PG and not covered under current case language, case  amendments may take 6 months or more to complete. 3.C.3.B.  Formal Training under Title 22 authority. For CONUS DFT events that include USMC curriculum-based instruction, or a program of instruction (POI) led exclusively by Marine instructors, the UAE  PG soldiers receiving training will be considered International  Military Students (IMS), and they must travel on Invitational Travel  Orders (ITO). Formal training from the Marine Corps to the PG is  funded via the FMS case listed in REF B. Participation in a formal course at any Marine Corps unit or training institution, such  as MCMWTC, or a driver course for tactical vehicles,  falls within this category. 3.C.3.B.1.  Throughout the planning cycle of each DFT, MCTM-UAE  shall notify TECOM SA Branch of any formal training planned for execution during a PG CONUS DFT.  TECOM SA Branch requires no less than 90 days prior to DFT execution to complete activity costing.  USMC units instructing UAE personnel shall provide a training POI  and training costs to TECOM SA Branch. TECOM SA Branch will provide  the Activity Costing Worksheet (ACW) and assist unit in  determination of cost. 3.C.3.B.2.  Units and/or schools must have an IMSO designated when IMS on ITO are participating in a course. An IMSO is designated in  writing by the unit or schoolhouse commander after completion of  online training. MCTM-UAE will provide IMSOs for any unit or  schoolhouse without a designated IMSO where PG students are  participating in formal training. 3.C.3.C.  Bilateral Training and Exercises under Title 10  authorities. For CONUS engagements or exercises during which Marines and PG soldiers are training together, or PG are training unilaterally, PG soldiers will be considered foreign visitors and will travel on an approved foreign visit request (FVR). For FY25-29, Unit Enhancement Training (UET) or participation as an exercise  force during an SLTE will fall within this category. Administrative and logistic support provided to the PG will be funded via the FMS  case identified in REF C. 3.C.3.C.1.  Partner forces under an approved FVR must be managed by a trained and designated Contact Officer  (see section 3.B.6.B above). MCTM-UAE will work with FDOs,  base security, and host units to establish the escort plan for PG on USMC installations. Base commanders shall provide appropriate  guidance to MCTM contact officers. 3.C.3.D.  When a CONUS PG event or exercise includes both formal training and bilateral exercise, the PG soldiers participating in  the formal training will be on ITOs for the duration of the event, all others will be accounted for on an approved FVR.  3.C.3.E. IAW REF M, exercise design will dictate escort  requirements. MCTM-UAE and hosting units are responsible for  developing an appropriate escort plan per the requirements for  ITOs or FVRs. MCTM-UAE will ensure both types of escorts are planned for CONUS PG events with formal training and bilateral, or  unilateral, training. 3.C.3.F.  Visa applications and process will be in accordance with the separate requirements for FVR and ITO. 3.C.4.  Force Sourcing for PG CONUS DFTs: 3.C.4.A.  Annual Plan. NLT 30 Apr, MCTM-UAE shall publish Embassy  message traffic to COMUSMARCENT articulating a consolidated  feasibility-of-support (FOS) request for PG COUNUS DFTs for the following fiscal year.  3.C.4.A.1.  MARCENT will review, validate, and forward the annual plan via NIPR   Automated Message Handling System (AMHS) to  PP&O PLU. PP&O PLU will review, endorse, and forward the validated  plan to prospective force providers, supporting organizations, and  host installations. PP&O POC(S) will ensure MCTM-UAE requirements are registered in the Force Management Tool (FMT). 3.C.4.A.2.  PP&O PLU recommends informal coordination throughout the planning cycle between MCTM-UAE, stakeholder organizations, and the intended, or likely, force providers for each event in the  annual plan.   3.C.4.B.  Force sourcing and response to Annual Plan:  3.C.4.B.1.  PP&O PLU requests official AMHS response to the PG  CONUS DFT annual plan from MARFOR force providers and supporting establishment (TECOM, MCICOM) NLT 31 July. Force providers shall respond in the FMT concurrent to and aligned with AMHS response to PP&O PLU.  3.C.4.B.2.  Force Sync Conferences (FSC) are the primary forum for adjudicating sourcing solutions to PG CONUS DFT requirements.  MCTM-UAE, will send a representative to FSC, as necessary, to brief requested support and, ICW MARCENT representatives, advocate with  MARFORPAC/I MEF, MARFORCOM/II MEF, MARFORRES, and MARSOC for  sourcing solutions to PG CONUS DFTs. 3.C.4.B.2.A. PG CONUS DFTs will be included as sourcing requirements in the Marine Corps Bulletin (MCBUL) 3120.     3.C.4.B.3.  Supporting unit requirements: A MARFOR/MEF commitment to support one of the (4) annual PG CONUS DFTs is an agreement to  provide both of the following supporting units or unit detachments:   3.C.4.B.3.A.  Partnering Unit.  A cohesive, combat arms unit that conducts bilateral tactical training with the PG unit. The training or exercise objectives will vary by event and PG unit.  3.C.4.B.3.B.  Exercise Implementation Unit (hosting unit).  A unit or task-organized detachment, separate from the partner unit, that provides administrative and logistical hosting support to satisfy  USMC installation requirements and all safety regulations and  policies. General responsibilities include escort duties,  coordinating ammunition support, coordinating target support, tactical vehicle provisioning and maintenance, line of accounting support, medical support, and range safety structure personnel.  3.C.4.B.3.B.1.  The Exercise Implementation Unit or adjacent unit shall assist MCTM-UAE with range and training area reservations in  the Range Facility Management Support System or other required  method. 3.C.4.B.3.B.2.  ICW MCTM-UAE exercise coordinators, communicate  with base/installation security to ensure all requirements for foreign visitor base access are satisfied. 3.C.4.B.4.  MEFs are encouraged to align/incorporate UETs to  existing training events to reduce negative impacts to the  Fleet Marine Force and to address partnering and coalition  operations mission essential tasks (MET). 3.C.4.B.5.  When these resources are under MEF control, MEFs should provide range control, ammunition storage, lodging, dining, and  medical support as required and identified during the  UET/MTX/SLTE planning process. 3.C.4.C.  Force sourcing challenges:  3.C.4.C.1.  The authority to cancel a PG CONUS DFT sourcing requirement is held by DC PP&O unless the cancellation is  requested by the UAE PG via MCTM-UAE. In the latter case,  PP&O POC(S) may cancel the requirement in FMT and PP&O PLU will communicate cancellation to all force provider stakeholders.  3.C.4.C.2. For the (2) annual UETs, one at CLNC and one at CPEN, if a Partnering Unit and/or an Exercise Implementation Unit cannot be sourced during the PG requested dates, the intended supporting  MARFOR/MEF, ICW MARCENT and MCTM-UAE, will identify alternate  supportable dates or request alternate supporting units from  adjacent force providers to include MARFORRES and MARSOC. 3.C.4.C.2.A.  If the PG cannot adjust to alternate dates made  available and no adjacent force provider support is available, the intended supporting MARFOR/MEF Commander shall reclama the UET  sourcing requirement from the MCBUL 3120 NLT 90 days prior to UET execution.  3.C.4.C.3.  For the (1) annual MTX and (1) annual SLTE integration, if a Partnering Unit and/or Exercise Implementation Unit cannot be  sourced during the PG requested dates, MARCENT, ICW MCTM-UAE, will work with force providers and exercise stakeholders to identify  alternate dates, or alternate MTX/SLTE iterations that are  supportable for PG participation.    3.C.4.C.3.A. If no solution can be found, COMUSMARCENT shall request cancellation of PG participation in MTX or SLTE via AMHS to  DC PP&O NLT 90 days prior to UET execution.  3.C.4.D.  Additional or Detailed Support Requests to the  Annual Plan.  3.C.4.D.1. After MARFOR/MEF acceptance of the Annual Plan,  MARCENT will validate and forward subordinate or detailed support request from MCTM-UAE to MARFOR/MEF force providers, info PP&O PLU. PP&O PLU will interject only in the case of non-concurrence to  requested support. PP&O POC(S) will register MARCENT-validated, detailed support requests in FMT. 3.C.4.D.2. It is recommended that MARFORs and MEFs delegate DIRLAUTH between MARCENT, MCTM, and the intended supporting units for  detailed planning or additional support requests subordinate to the annual plan. 3.C.4.D.3.  For additional, and/or MOS-specific support requests  that are deemed unsupportable by force providers, MCTM-UAE, ICW MARCENT, will consider the necessity of the support to successful completion of the DFT and determine if alternate training and  exercise objectives can be accomplished.    3.C.4.E.  Planning cycle events for PG CONUS DFTs will be published via AMHS or Enterprise Task Management Software Solution (ETMS2). In the case of SLTE integration, PG CONUS DFT planning cycle  events will mirror set dates for Marine SLTE planning.   3.C.4.F.  MCTM-UAE will provide Foreign Disclosure oversight or coordinate with CONUS FDOs to ensure products and briefs visible or provided to the UAE during planning cycle events or the  execution of training or exercises are Unclassified or cleared  for release to UAE. 4.  Tasks. 4.A.  DEPUTY COMMANDANT, PLANS, POLICIES, AND OPERATIONS (PP&O) 4.A.1.  Function as the Service approval authority for  modifications to the scope and manning of MCTM-UAE.  4.A.2.  Provide policy oversight to TECOM SA Branch and MCSC-IP in support of case management. 4.A.3.  PLU provide Service-level review and endorsement of annual PG CONUS DFT plan. 4.A.4.  POC(S) register Tactical Partnering Unit and Exercise  Implementation Unit requirements for UET, MTX, and SLTE integration in FMT. 4.A.5.  As required, review MARCENT-endorsed, ad hoc FOS requests for supplemental Marine Corps support to PG training. 4.B.  DEPUTY COMMANDANT, MANPOWER AND RESERVE AFFAIRS (M&RA). 4.B.1.  NLT 15 January annually, issue PCSO to inbound MCTM-UAE Marines based on the current DC PPO-endorsed and CD&I-approved  manning document for MCTM-UAE. 4.B.2.  Due to the numerous USMC, U.S. Department of State, and  Emirati administrative and medical screening requirements, insert into the PCSO the following statement: “Complete the medical and  administrative pre-deployment screening and other requirements  NLT 120 days prior to reporting date,” to ensure PCS assignment  requirements are properly satisfied in a timely manner. 4.B.3.  Comply with the sourcing timelines outlined in para 5. 4.B.4.  To support specific PCSO requirements, include the following statements in PCS orders:  4.B.4.1.  “YOU ARE REQUIRED TO OBTAIN A NO-FEE, DIPLOMATIC (BLACK) PASSPORT FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT.” 4.B.4.2.  “PRIOR TO DETACHING PARENT COMMAND, YOU WILL ATTEND PTP  TRAINING.
