MARINE CORPS ELEARNING ECOSYSTEM (MCELE) URL CHANGE
MARADMIN 148/26 · March 31, 2026 · Source
MarineNet has a new web address. Here's what you need to update.
A MARADMIN just dropped announcing a URL change for the Marine Corps eLearning Ecosystem. It affects every Marine who uses MarineNet for training.
That's you.
Reference: MARADMIN 148/26, signed 31 March 2026. Issued by the Commanding General, Education Command, President of Marine Corps University, Quantico.
The old problem
The MarineNet portal lived at portal.marinenet.usmc.mil for years.
As the platform rebranded to the Marine Corps eLearning Ecosystem (MCeLE), the old URL became a mismatch. It didn't reflect the new name, and it had security and user experience limitations that needed fixing.
The new rule (in one line)
Effective 13 March 2026, the official login portal for Marine Corps online training moved to a new address.
What actually changed
The only thing that changed is the web address you type into your browser.
Old URL: portal.marinenet.usmc.mil
New URL: www.mcele.usmc.mil
That's it. Same platform. New front door.
Here's the timeline you need to know:
- 13 March 2026. The new URL goes live. Start using
www.mcele.usmc.mil. - Now through end of FY 2026 (30 September 2026). The old URL still works. It will automatically redirect you to the new address.
- After 30 September 2026. The old URL is decommissioned. Gone. No redirect. If you have it bookmarked and haven't updated it by then, you'll hit a dead end.
(Yes, the redirect buys you time. But don't count on it forever.)
Why this is a big deal
For most Marines, this feels minor. A URL change. Who cares.
But Reserve Marines in particular rely on MarineNet for completing required training remotely. No drill weekend required. No unit computer lab.
If you lose access because a bookmark is stale, or because your unit's training portal links to the old address, that's a training gap that shows up on your record.
The redirect will catch you for a while. The decommission date will not.
This is also part of a larger rebranding effort. MarineNet officially became MCeLE. That shift has implications beyond just the URL, including how training content is managed and removed going forward.
A smaller note for active-duty Marines
Same change applies to you. Update your bookmarks, and pass the word to your S-3 or training shops to update any links embedded in unit SharePoints, portals, or training schedules.
The bottom line
Go to www.mcele.usmc.mil from now on.
Update your bookmarks before 1 October 2026 or you will lose your shortcut entirely.
What to do with this
If you're a Reserve Marine in the SMCR or IMA:
✦ Update your personal browser bookmark to www.mcele.usmc.mil today.
✦ Check any saved links on your personal devices or home computer.
✦ Log in now to confirm access before your next drill weekend.
If you're an IRR Marine:
✦ Same as above. Update your bookmark. ✦ If you're mid-course on any MarineNet training, finish it or note where you are. The redirect will keep you covered for now, but don't leave it to chance.
If you're a unit training officer, S-3, or admin chief:
✦ Push this to your Marines. The MARADMIN directs widest dissemination. ✦ Audit any unit websites, SharePoints, or training tracking tools that link to the old URL. ✦ Update those links before FY 2026 ends.
If you're an S-1 or career planner:
✦ No personnel or administrative action required. This is a technical change only. ✦ If Marines report access issues after the cutover, direct them to the new URL first before assuming a system problem.
This is written by a reservist, for reservists. It is not an official publication of HQMC or MARFORRES. Always verify guidance with your command or unit S-1 before acting on any article or summary.
Need a shorter version of this? It fits in three sentences. Need a longer breakdown of the MCeLE rebranding and what it means for training requirements? That's a separate piece. Let me know which one helps.
