The Marine Corps wants to replace its outdated rifle qualification standards with a new course of fire that accurately assesses a Marine's ability to destroy the enemy instead of just his or her ability to score hits on a bullseye.
By early 2021, Marines could start going through a demanding new Annual Rifle Qualification that requires shooters to engage realistic targets, both moving and stationary, from fixed positions and while the targets move -- all while they are kitted out in full battle-rattle.

The rifle qualification is designed to assess how Marines in the operational force use fundamental marksmanship principles to apply lethal force on modern, threat targets with lethal zones marked on the chest and head.
