U.S. Marines with Alpha Company, Infantry Training Battalion, School of Infantry - West, run through fire and movement as well as fire and maneuver drills as part of Week 7 of the Infantry Marine Course on Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California, March 8-11, 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.
