Brockway/MAJ/MMSR-5/TEL: 703-784-9306/EMAIL:  [email protected]// GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. Purpose. This MARADMIN provides guidance on the  issuance of the DD Form 214-1, which will complement the traditional  DD Form 214, ensuring a more comprehensive record of service for  Marines transitioning or separating from Reserve duty. 2. Requirement. In accordance with reference (a), all Reserve  Component Marines separated or released from their component on  or after the date of this MARADMIN shall receive a DD-214-1.  3. Issuance of DD Form 214-1. The following Marines will be issued a  DD Form 214-1 in conjunction with a DD Form 214: 3.a. Marines separated or released from a Reserve Component. 3.b. Reserve Component Marines transferred to the Individual Ready  Reserve. 3.c. Reserve Component Marines transferred to the Standby Reserve or  Retired Reserve. 3.d. Recalled retirees reverting to a retired status. 3.e. A complete list of qualifying circumstances for issuance are  located in reference (a).  4. Exemption. The DD Form 214-1 is not required to be issued for: 4.a. Marines whose Reserve Component service is terminated by death. 4.b. Instances where the issuance of the DD Form 214 is not  applicable. 5. Issuance Process. The DD Form 214-1, in conjunction with a DD  Form 214, will be issued by the separation activity from which the  Marine was separated and represents the standard record of service  for Marines of the Reserve Component. The DD Form 214-1 will never  be issued independently and will always be accompanied by the DD  Form 214. In those instances where a DD Form 214/214-1 was not  issued by the separation activity from which the Marine was  separated, corrective action must be taken by the separation  activity. 6. Preparation. Because the DD Form 214/5 Series is an essential  record of service, preparation requires that: 6.a. Per reference (a), the DD 214-1, at the time of issuance, will contain a concise summary of service. 6.b. It is prepared accurately and completely and must be typed, or  computer generated. 6.c. The recipient will be informed that making any unauthorized  change or alteration of the form will render it void. 6.d.  Abbreviations and acronyms should be avoided as much as  possible.   6.e.  The DD Form 214-1 business processes are in reference (a) and will be published to administrators via the Separation and  Retirement Manual. Additional information is located on the MMSR  website at https:(slash)(slash)www.manpower.marines.mil/Manpower- Management/Separation-and-Retirements-Branch/Inactive-Reserve- Separation-and-Retirement/ 7.  This MARADMIN is applicable to the Total Force and will remain  in effect until the revised Separation and Retirement Manual is  published.   8.  Release authorized by Lieutenant General Michael J. Borgschulte,  Deputy Commandant, Manpower and Reserve Affairs.//
