MCO 6320.2F addresses recovery coordination, medical facility support, casualty reporting, line of duty determinations, and care referrals. It requires administrative processing, command support, hospital liaison, patient contact, and approval for deviations from its procedures.
When a Marine will be receiving continuous care or is hospitalized at a local military or civilian Medical Treatment Facility (MTF), the Marine’s parent command will provide support to said Marine. (paragraph 4)
When a Marine requires care, and is not in the immediate vicinity of the permanent duty station, the nearest responsible Marine Corps activity listed in enclosure (1) will assume cognizance and will make every effort to ensure that a Marine Corps representative personally contacts the patient within 24 hours of admission, and reports that contact to the Marine’s parent command. (paragraph 2)
Commands near an MTF, Reserve unit, or an I-I unit will establish liaison with their designated hospital to ensure prompt notification by the medical facility when a Marine is admitted for treatment. (paragraph 1)
Parent commands must conduct a preliminary inquiry, as required by paragraph 0212 of reference (d) and ensure appropriate Line of Duty (LOD) Determinations are recorded. (paragraph 4)
In any case where a potential for a claim for benefits or entitlements exists, the command must complete a full Line of Duty Investigation (LODI) with appropriate General Officer endorsements for the Physical Evaluation Board (PEB) to use for benefit determination IAW sections 0223, 0213, and 0220 of reference (d).
