Subject: The Marine Corps Competition-in-Arms Program (CIAP) 28 Sep - 12 Oct
Importance: High
ALCON,
The Marine Corp Base Hawaii (MCBH) would like to open their Competition in
Arms Program to any Army units interested in some fundamental marksmanship
training with service weapon systems from 28 Sep thru 12 Oct.
The FY 13 Intramural Matches will provide a venue for supplemental training
for Marines in fundamental marksmanship with service weapon systems. It
will consist of two weeks of classroom instruction, live-fire training, and
Marine Corps Competition-in-Arms Program-style individual and team matches.
This training provides a unique opportunity for commanders to heighten the
level of confidence, skill, and lethality of their Marines with small arms
and is designed to consist of detailed instruction combined with appropriate
practice and handling of weapons necessary to hone skills that will enhance
an individual Marine's capabilities with his or her Table of Organization
(T/O) weapon in combat. Match competition serves as a training tool to
produce a format for this purpose. Additionally, a match provides an
atmosphere of importance through individual and team competition that
simulates pressure or stress on individual participants and evokes command
interest in marksmanship competition.
Our Marine Training Unit (MTU) mission is to send a refreshed and better
trained combat marksmanship coach, trainer, or competitively-minded Marine,
annual marksmanship training complete, back to your unit to provide an
immediate impact on your command's Combat Marksmanship Training program for
the FY and to provide an environment that allows your unit to identify teams
and individual competitors to participate in the Pacific Division Matches
and other competition-in-arms events.
This is for military only at this time.
