Marine Corps officials are currently gathering and assessing feedback from Marines about the Jungle Boots that were issued to them for a 5 month non-consecutive user evaluation. Marine officials are determining whether issued jungle boots should be given to them before deploying to jungle regions, or if they should be made available for discretionary purchase.
(Also in the news)
The Marine Corps is investing in a next-generation water purification system that will allow individual Marines to get safe, drinkable water straight from the source. The Individual Water Purification System Block II is an upgrade to the current version issued to all Marines. The upgrade is expected to be fielded to Marines next fiscal year.
