Marine Rifle Squads Will Test the Army's New High-Powered Night Vision Goggle-Binoculars

Infantry Marines will get the chance to test the Army's new night vision goggles, which are being compared to something straight out of a video game.

Marine rifle squads will evaluate the Army's Enhanced Night Vision Goggle-Binocular, or ENVG-B, which soldiers have been using since 2019. There has been no official decision to swap the Marine Corps' Squad Binocular Night Vision Goggles for the Army gear, but tests are underway to evaluate the two systems, said Kelly Flynn, a Marine Corps Systems Command spokeswoman.

The Marine Corps currently has 195 pairs of ENVG-Bs. Soon, squads will be selected to conduct a larger user evaluation, Flynn said.
