Jason Hessler, an Automated Message Handling System support engineer, trains Marines from Marine Corps Installations West G-6 on the Hyper-Converged Infrastructure system Jan. 11, aboard Camp Pendleton, California. HCI is a virtualization solution that replaces traditional servers, and combines storage and compute functions into a single machine to save cost, energy and space. Marine Corps Systems Command’s Information Systems and Infrastructure recently installed the technology at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, and Camp Pendleton, California, to support Organizational Messaging Service, which is used to send operational and administrative messages across the Corps.

The Marine Corps Program Executive Officer Land Systems is expected to deliver 144 Utility Task Vehicles to the regiment-level starting in February 2017. The rugged all-terrain vehicle can carry up to four Marines or be converted to haul 1,500 pounds of supplies. With minimal armor and size, the UTV can quickly haul extra ammunition and provisions, or injured Marines, while preserving energy and stealth.

The Marine Corps officially transitioned to sustainment the official data source Marines use to assess manpower and equipment requirements. Total Force Structure Management System is the robust enterprise system that receives, processes, stores and disseminates force structure information for the entire Marine Corps. This information depicts how a specific unit is organized in terms of number, types of personnel and associated equipment in order to perform assigned missions. Data is then used by leaders at all levels to determine current and future strategic needs.
