In August, Marine Corps Systems Command led one of the largest command and control user evaluations since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

MCSC collaborated with the Marine Corps Warfighting Lab, Marine Corps Forces, Pacific, Navy and Coast Guard to execute Island Marauder 21. The exercise, spread across multiple training sites on Oahu, enabled nearly 500 Marines to assess communication equipment in a maritime environment and provide direct feedback to system developers.

“Island Marauder allows Marines to employ, ask questions about and develop a greater understanding of their command and control equipment to better prepare them for the future fight.” Maj. Ben Gardner, MCSC’s lead for Island Marauder 21
