Marines and sailors with 3rd Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment test the new infantry battalion organization construct during phase two of the Infantry Battalion Experiment at Marine Air-Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms, California, in August. Phase two of IBX demonstrated Marine leadership at the company level exercising more command and control of its Marines in a distributed environment, while employing new technologies to further enhance tactical employment of forces. Company level staff will now have more autonomy to conduct logistics, communications, intelligence and employ unmanned aerial systems. The IBX will conclude upon the completion of 3rd Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment's unit deployment program sometime in 2025. (U.S. Marine Corps video by Lance Cpl. Michael Bartman)

U.S. Marines, and service members from Australia and the United Kingdom, participated in a kill web demonstration aboard Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia, May 3, 2024. The trilateral defense and security partnership amongst the three allies, also known as AUKUS, displayed their shared commitment to strengthen deterrence capabilities and promote peace and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific region. During a combat training scenario, service members from the three countries were joined by contractors from AeroVironment , an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) manufacturer. Together, everyone worked to search, locate and destroy mock enemy tanks, using two inert Switchblade 600 munitions. Switchblade 600 munitions are direct fire loitering munitions systems that rely on intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) provided by UAVs. Troops in command operations centers use ISR to detect enemy forces ahead of troops on the ground. Once enemy tanks are detected, rear troops will launch the Switchblade 600 and will loiter until a forward Marine directs it to the target for a strike. ( U.S. Marine Corps video by Lance Cpl.
