The Marine Corps' School of Infantry has launched a new course aimed at training young grunts how to be riflemen, machine gunners and anti-tank gunners in an effort to send more capable infantrymen to the fleet.
In late January, the School of Infantry-West began running the first 14-week Infantry Marine Course, or IMC, a pilot training course that emerged out of Commandant Gen. David Berger's effort to redesign the Marine infantry battalion.
Infantry instructors developed the course over the past year to focus on creating young infantry Marines with the tactical skills and self-reliance to operate in the expeditionary and dispersed battlefields of future conflicts, according to a news release from Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California.
