 Welcome to the Corps Report. I'm Corporal Remington Hall. And I'm Corporal Kathy Nunez. October 21, Major Taj Serene, a pilot with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 232, died when his F-18 Hornet crashed near Royal Air Force Base, Lake and Heath, England. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Major Serene, and to all those affected by this tragic incident. Simpa Fidelis, sir. This week, Commandant of the Marine Corps General Robert Neller approved the M-4 to replace the M-16 as the primary weapon for infantry and security forces. Equipping the force with a new weapon will come at no cost to the Marine Corps. According to the Marine Corps Combat Development Command, the realignment provides infantry battalions, infantry schools and security forces within peace, accuracy, mobility and reliability. Notice how we keep saying, for the infantry. The announcement means the M-4 is the official weapon for the infantry and security forces. The M-16 is still the official rifle of the Corps.

We turn our clocks back an hour, roll down our sleeves, get out our woodlands and prepare for bulking season. Don't be this Marine on Monday morning. Don't forget to prep your woodlands and learn how to tie a tie for the upcoming week. Remember, you can catch up on everything else going on around the Corps by logging on to our official social media sites. Thanks for watching everyone and we'll see you next Friday. Right here on the Corps Report.
