UTC, CO and Designee

The Unit Transition Coordinator (UTC) coordinates with the installation transition office to ensure their Service Members within their units meet all requirements for the Transition Readiness Program (TRP). As the UTC, you will ease the process of transition to civilian life for all separating, retiring, deactivating, and demobilizing Service Members regardless of their rank. In order to become a UTC you must be appointed in writing by the CO. Please use the UTC letter template listed under resources. Once the letter has been completed please email a copy to MCBB_TRP@usmc.mil to request UTC training.

In order to become a designee, you must be appointed in writing.

Be appointed in writing by the CO or O5 (with court martial authority) and not appointed as a UTC
