1. The RASL is a precedence list comprised of Reserve officers,
in an active status as defined by section 14002 of Title 10,
U.S. Code, in the Selected Marine Corps Reserve, the Active
Reserve, the Individual Ready Reserve, and the active-status
list of the Standby Reserve. Reserve Warrant Officers (WO) and
Chief Warrant Officers (CWOs), appointed under section 12241 of
Title 10, U.S. Code are carried on their own Reserve activestatus
list in order of seniority by grade and rank. The RASL
contains the names of all Reserve officers who are in an active
status other than those on the ADL.
2. The relative precedence among Reserve officers in each
competitive category will be based on grade and date of rank.
Those officers having the same grade and date of rank shall be
placed on the precedence list applying the criteria in paragraph
1008 of this order for precedence of officers on the ADL.
3. The Reserve officer precedence listings for each competitive
category will be updated at least annually, in order to
establish promotion zones for each category as directed by

with their active-duty running mate. The running mate system is
not applicable to Reserve CWOs because they are promoted by MOS
