reporting information into the MCTFS and provides commanders with
background information to assist them in officer personnel planning
and assignment.
2.
The SRB is designed for recording specified information about a
Marine at the time of enlistment, changes in status, and pertinent
events which affect the Marine's military service. The SRB is used
in determining duty assignments, promotion data, eligibility for
overseas service, etc., and serves as the basis for reporting
information into the MCTFS.
3.
The OQR and SRB is considered confidential in nature. Therefore,
divulge no information from it, except to persons properly and
directly concerned in the performance of their assigned duties.
Chapter 12 of MCO P5211.2 provides guidelines for release of
personal information. Refer questionable requests to the commander
for decision. To ensure accountability, the OQR and SRB must be
returned to the personnel office or sufficiently safeguarded at the
end of each workday.
4. Custody. Grant access only to the Marine or those persons
officially working with the OQR/SRB. When Marines desire to
examine their SRB, they may do so, but only in the presence of the
custodian. Officers may examine their OQR whenever they desire to
do so.
2004. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS ON THE CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF THE OQR
AND SRB
1.
Responsibility. Responsibility for the care and maintenance,
including opening and assembly, custody, timely forwarding, making
entries, closing, etc., rests with the commander. Although the
commander may appoint a custodian to perform these functions, the
commander cannot delegate the responsibility. Responsibility for
making entries includes entries concerning desertion and
unauthorized absence, even though such entries reflect events which
may have occurred before the Marine was joined by the current
organization. (See paragraph 4007 regarding unauthorized absence
and desertion entries.) As provided in the Uniform Code of
Military Justice, Article 43, and Manual for Courts-Martial, United
States 1995, paragraph 403(a), the responsibility for receipt of
sworn charges and specifications sufficient to terminate the
running of the statute of limitations rests with an officer
exercising summary court-martial jurisdiction over the command.
