MARINE CORPS SYSTEMS COMMAND, QUANTICO, Va. (Jan. 11, 2007) -- Effective Jan. 15, 2007, Marine Corps System Command’s (MCSC) Program Manager for Infantry Combat Equipment (PM ICE) is conducting a survey soliciting input from Marines for the Commandant’s Physical Training (PT) Uniform initiative. Concluding Jan. 31, 2007, the results will influence MCSC’s development efforts for a new jacket and trouser intended for wear in cold weather. These articles of clothing will be added to the currently available Marine Corps sweat suit and sweat shirt authorized for wear.
All active duty and reserve Marines are invited to participate in the comprehensive survey. This questionnaire will include such topics as design, comfort, color, pockets and insignias. The survey will be accessible online at the following websites:
• MCSC- www.marcorsyscom.usmc.mil...p4K0mn5LI;
• Marine Corps Uniform Board- www.marcorsyscom.usmc.mil/sites/mcub/;
• United States Marine Corps- www.usmc.mil; and
• PM ICE- www.marcorsyscom.usmc.mil/sites/pmice/.
“We’re trying to make sure those features are what Marines want, so we’re going to ask them so we can build those requirements around their needs,” said Portia Blunt, project officer for PM ICE. “We’re looking to reach as many Marines as possible. We want them to understand that their input is paramount to getting them what they want.”
As a conduit for Marines, PM ICE will continue to conduct such surveys for Marine input on new initiatives related to its mission to enhance the performance, capability and sustainability for the clothing and equipment for operating forces.
