The primary purpose of this requirement is to provide advertising support services to the United States Marine Crops (USMC) in order to fulfill its Title 10 mission. These services help generate the requisite leads and aid USMC recruiters? efforts in educating prospects and their influencers (e.g., parents and teachers). Recent studies have shown that the declining unemployment rate and perpetual military disqualifiers (e.g., medical and drug related issues, obesity) narrow the eligible recruiting population. These factors pose a challenge for each military service?s ability to recruit and likely contributed to all other military services missing recruiting goals in fiscal 2023. Thus, effective advertising is critical to attract capable 17?24-year-old candidates for the USMC. The Marine Corps Recruiting Command (MCRC) Advertising Services Program is directed to support the recruitment of approximately 40,000 personnel per year to fill vacancies in both enlisted and officer programs.
