The Roles and Weapons with the Squad

[Granite_State]

The Marine Corps' Commandant has decided, based on the results of testing and further field evaluation by using units, to recommend ending the limited test and evaluation fielding for the M27 IAR and going straight to full-fielding of rifles to each infantry battalion and its LAR battalions.

I heard that recently, wasn't sure if it was a rumor or the truth. Wasn't the plan to get combat feedback from 1st LAR and the four infantry battalions currently fielding it before making a decision?

That's correct granite_state. The Commandant decided that he had enough available data from the results thus far though, and decided to skip the combat deploys it would seem.
