Marines field new rifle optic for better accuracy, hit probability
Infantry and recon Marines will get it first.

LPVO's have been all the rage for a while, looks like they will start adopting them into service.
I remember watching a documentary where marines in Afghanistan were engaging enemies tucked into a rocky hillside more than 600 yards away with red dots and 5.56 while the enemy was returning fire with machine gun .30 caliber rounds. It did not look like a great combination, seemed like some good magnification could have made a big difference.
