Oversight Matrix
Commander Oversight Matrix
One-glance view of every Functional Area where you carry a personal commander action. Each row links to the parent policy. Source verification posture is shown per row.
Authority
MCO 5040.6K, Enclosure 1, Chapter 2 establishes the Critical or Required Evaluation (CoRE) and CoRE Plus Functional Areas every commander is accountable for under the IGMC inspection program. This matrix consolidates the personal commander actions across the 33 functional areas where you carry a signature, an appointment, or a sign-off requirement.
What you sign
Every row below is anchored to a specific Marine Corps Order. The "Action" column summarizes the personal commander action surfaced by the source MCO. Click the FA number to open the citation. Verified rows carry the citation's lastVerified date as authoritative. Unverified rows carry a marker; the action statement is awaiting a source-text walk against the originating MCO before being treated as authoritative.
Exception path
Where unit mission, structure, or assignment removes a Functional Area from your scope, document the covering relationship in your CGIP directive. Waivers route to IGMC using the Appendix E template in MCO 5040.6K.
