CAMP PENDLETON, CALIF. After 20 years of counterinsurgency and low-end conflict in the Middle East, the Marines are rapidly retooling for a different kind of fight.
As the service has shed legacy equipment like tanks and heavy artillery to reshape itself into a mobile, Pacific island-hopping force, it’s retooling how it trains the Marines of the future to fit into a more complex way of war while reinforcing its creed of “every Marine a rifleman.”

MCRD SAN DIEGO When the first-ever platoon of female Marine recruits landed here at the Corps West Coast recruit depot earlier this year, their training was just as difficult as that of their male counterparts but differed in one small, important way.
Lima Company, the platoon s parent unit, was one of two recruit companies selected to participate in a study assessing a progressive approach to hiking under a combat load, a key component of training. The two companies each swapped out one high-impact running event, such as a track-style workout, for a hike. The length of the hike and the weight of the load progressed stepwise: As the weight increased, the length would decrease temporarily to allow recruits bodies time to adapt.
