  • Watch to learn more about the redesigned Infantry Marine Course.
    Marines with Alpha Company, Infantry Training Battalion, School of Infantry - West, participated in the first iteration of the redesigned Infantry Marine Course on @[244860127876:Camp Pendleton].
    IMC is a 14-week course designed to create better trained and more lethal entry-level infantry Marines prepared for near-peer conflicts.
    The course uses a learning model intended to develop capabilities for independent and adaptive thought and action.
    (U.S. Marine Corps video by Sgt. Juan A. Soto-Delgado, Sgt. Jeremy Laboy, Lance Cpl. Drake Nickels and Lance Cpl. Daniel Medina)

      0311 ITB should be the new MCT- without the rocket portions of the POI. Other than that, USMC pogs are going to need more AND better provisional 0311 refresher training as part of FD 2030. Distributed, low signature, highly technical combined arms amphibious/ air assault/ motorized and limited SOF capable troops are going to need competent non-combat support. Different and higher standards now exist for combat support jobs in the form of the MSPS, which could be compared to the Australian RAR's Infantry PESA test. Even so, more provisional rifleman refresher training is needed. Convoy defense, Tower Defense, security patrols, hand and arm signals, tactical communications, first aid, naaic m240 knowledge, select designated marksmen, double the number of 09XX training instructor mos billets to each company, double the number of docs to each Marine Platoon (not triple) and request that the Navy establish a permanent Greenside NEC, ecp's, vcp's, combat marksmanship, fire team and squad defensive t&r tasks, intermediate swim qual, etc.

    I suspect that the changes are going to increase the success rate of the course. Whether or not this will create better Marines is a matter for debate and the debate is passionate on both sides. The answer will be answered definitively on a battlefield in the future. Getting this wrong will be costly, getting it right will be costly for the enemy - second place on the battlefield is a grave marker.

My reason for sharing this is to make a point of matter. In the 21 yesrs as a Grunt with trigger time I am very pleased to see this concept in play because back in the day we always had to struggle to increase the tactical training of our Marines. As a well retired Grunt (all 03 mci courses and badic school extension course) I wanted to be one the best 0369 in the Corps. As a Company Gunny my primary job was to "enforce discipline and train the company for battle". In away I see this as a "package deal " for Grunts and at 75yo and pt x3 a week since I retired in 1984. Never fu#k with a well trained Grunt who is trained to kill.

    This all sounds brilliant, but my question is then: why and who was in charge of USMC before when apparently training recent Marines and those currently deployed on the frontline to a continually minimalist baseline and lowest common denominator ?!? Huh?
    That said... USMC needs proper cutting edge defensive, self-protective and offensive equipment, ASAP. Period. Arguably more than anything! Just give it to Marines and they will adapt and find the optimal way to employ the equipment fluidly on the fly on the field. Reduce the mumbo jumbo and let the equipment dictate!
    e.g.., how is the anti-drone capabilities at the squad level and company level coming ? how is the offensive drone capability and cost-effective multi-round precision guided stand-off capability coming along at the squad and company level once on the ground ? How is their mass-deployed light mobility, maneuver coming? Those sorts of things, imho...

Fallujah was already known to be a terrorist safe haven as was made into a stronghold for them.
      Second invasion, the Marines took the right and center of the city while the Army took the far left. The Marines were more organized and brought more fire power with them to take on what was left of the insurgents. The Marines took the city bud... contrary to what this "study" says.

That crawl walk run mentality as well. First the classes. Then an example of what something should look like. Then a slight dry run where they critique you on what you should improve on then the test out. After that you get an actual practical application in the feild with whatever it may be. Weopon systems, hand and arm signals, reacting to contact and what goes after. I assume the course will only get better for the future 0311's hoping to go to the fleet.
