It's for the border mission.
We've had active duty units supporting the border patrol all year. Rather than continue to disrupt Active Component deployment and training cycles, it just makes sense to utilize the reserves going forward.
Could be, or could be for something else.
Read the bottom.

5.T. Additional contingency-specific manpower guidance released when activation is directed will include:
5.T.1. Reporting of personnel tempo instructions.
5.T.2. Crisis event code, Unique Identifier.
5.T.3. Contingency MCC and RUC if applicable.
6. This message is applicable to the Marine Corps Total Force.
7. Release authorized by Brigadier General Daniel L. Shipley, Director, Manpower Plans and Policy.//
Marine Corps Total Force is for pay and personnel records. Why you find that alarming is beyond baffling.
This MARADMIN cancels a previous MARADMIN pertaining to how reserves can be requested to assist civilian authorities. This notice mobilizes exactly zero Marines.
Maybe do an ounce of research before posting alarmist threads.

The OP is flat out wrong and two minutes on google would’ve shown as much.

I was enlisted in the Navy so was never an officer, and never got orders in written form. However, I understand English for the most part.

Ya know what, never mind. You want to read this as some sort of sign that a bunch of reservists are hiding in DC, go for it.

Sorry for lumping your uninformed and confused nonsense in with the rest of the uninformed and confused nonsense.

For crying out loud... 99% of orders are/were given to me by word of mouth from officers and briefings... Of course when I was transferred the orders were in written form, but not on this format presented in the op. Only other time we had written orders was if we were on leave and were recalled, but that was rare. What else do you want, you want me to also give classified information so I can get in trouble?...
And btw everything was recorded on paper of course...and yes even I had to respectfully request leave in writing...
