Infantry Marksmanship Assessment and Joint Marksmanship Assessment Package
Marines demonstrate the Infantry Marksmanship Assessment (IMA) together with JMAP at Marine Corps Base Quantico. The Marine Corps describes the combination as one of the foremost revolutions in small-arms marksmanship lethality in the Marine Corps over the past 100 years.
Marines at Quantico carry out the new joint Marksmanship Assessment Package. The Marksmanship Campaign Plan gives a clear, measurable definition of lethality and standard metrics Marines can use to assess and improve their combat effectiveness.
Marines to get most significant marksmanship overhaul in 100 years
The Marine Corps is replacing static target shooting tests with a timed assessment that includes movement, position changes and human-shaped targets. A tablet-based JMAP system scores accuracy and speed, with expansion planned across the infantry and then other Marines as funding is worked out.
Marine Corps rolls out plan to overhaul marksmanship training for the first time in a century
Covers the new Marksmanship Campaign Plan and its rollout timeline. JMAP is introduced as a scoring and tracking system that records each Marine's range results in one database so trainers and commanders can adjust training.
Marine Corps Publishes New Marksmanship Campaign Plan
The official announcement of the Marksmanship Campaign Plan, which defines lethality with measurable metrics. JMAP lets Marines track and compare their performance and gives leaders data for choosing weapons, gear and training.
Marine Corps new marksmanship plan will make Marines more lethal
Explains how timed, accuracy-graded assessments such as the Infantry Marksmanship Assessment measure lethality objectively. Scores are uploaded to the Joint Marksmanship Assessment Package so commanders can tailor training to individual Marines and units.
Marines Want More Expert Riflemen as Part of Marksmanship Revamp
Reports on revisions to Marine rifle training and qualification, including scoring that credits only hits to vital areas. JMAP is described as the technology that collects live-fire data and gives Marines immediate, individual feedback.
How an 'unprecedented' shooting study may shake up Marine marksmanship
Looks at a three-year Naval Health Research Center study of Marine marksmanship. Researchers developed JMAP, a tool that creates a digital score sheet by linking a tablet to precision tracking devices.
Naval Health Research Center Scientists Have Big Impact on Marine Corps Training
After a 2018 assessment found gaps in Marine marksmanship, Navy researchers built new data tools and tests. The team created JMAP, which enabled granular data collection on speed and accuracy at an unprecedented scale in military training.
ONR tested two systems that measure how fatigue and stress affect Marines' shooting. JMAP assesses shot timing and accuracy to gauge lethality, and supports the Marine Corps School of Infantry.
