U.S. Marines with Alpha Company,
Infantry Training Battalion, School of Infantry - West,
participated in the first iteration of the Infantry Marine
Course (IMC) on Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton,
California, January 25 - April 30, 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.
