U.S. Marines with Alpha Company, Infantry Training Battalion, School of Infantry - West, hone the skills they have learned throughout the course in fire and maneuver drills as part of the eleventh week of the Infantry Marine Course on Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California, April 5-9, 2021. IMC is a 14-week pilot course designed to create better trained and more lethal entry-level infantry Marines prepared for near-peer conflicts. The course uses a redesigned learning model for students intended to develop their capabilities for independent and adaptive thought and action. The program of instruction for IMC has been in development for a year and follows guidance from the 2019 Commandant's Planning Guidance and Force Design 2030. (U.S. Marine Corps video by Lance Cpl.
