Stated purpose

Quoted from the document's opening section.

Who uses it

Commanders, body composition evaluators, and Reporting Seniors preparing fitness reports. Unit training staff handle the documentation piece, and S-1 touches the FITREP directed comments the parent policy drives.

Operative content in portal coverage

Per MARADMIN 066/26 paragraph 3.f.1, units continue documenting waist, height, weight, and body fat per MCO 6110.3A and MCBUL 6110 through 2026. The documentation uploads to the respective calendar event in the Marine Corps Training Information Management System (MCTIMS) and is retained at the unit level. The portal's body composition reporting page cites the bulletin with Admin CH-1 as a listed source alongside MCO 6110.3A with Admin CH-4, and the performance evaluation overview page carries the same pairing.

Connection to Marine Corps policy

MCO 6110.3A with Admin CH-4 is the parent order for the MCBCMAP. MARADMIN 066/26, effective 2026-01-01, replaced height and weight reporting with the waist-to-height ratio framework on fitness reports while the bulletin's BIA and taping procedures continue under the parent order. IGMC functional area checklist 6110, Body Composition and Military Appearance Program, draws inspection evidence from this policy family.
