U.S. Marines Integrates New Gear and Weapon Systems | Sea Dragon 2025

It's good that the Marines are getting much deserved upgrades and new gear which will help make them more effective on the battlefield, but I just want Army to get theirs to we need new gear especially in terms of armor and weapons.

PFC (Join to see) - a decade or so ago I worked with HQDA ODCS G-4 and PEO Soldier on OCIE, protective clothing [SAPI plate] issues, and camo pattern issues. The discussions involved DLA and HQDA ODS G-3.
In those days and I believe still now NATICK labs supported both the US Army and USMC ground soldiers. Since Congress funds and has oversight of these issues, it makes sense for conventional forces of US Army and USMC to be equipped with similar items which may be patterned with different camouflage as required.
Special operators have unique requirements.

LTC Stephen F. - it's the IOTV they are to big and encompassing on the soldier to make us very mobile. As far as weaponry let's just say we could use some upgraded M4 maybe a full switch to M4A1

Damn totally missed this article thanks for the share hopefully it doesn't take to long to filter out to the rest of the force because IOTV have got to go.

Thanks for the share SSG I can't wait for the new SIG P320

SSgt (Join to see) - lol it's an Army thing SSGt. Hard to change habits like SSG. I've got former Marine friends that I served with who would write SSGt like the USMC taught them even though they were in the Army.
