GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  PURPOSE.  TO ANNOUNCE UPDATED INFORMATION REGARDING INSTITUTIONAL MARKSMANSHIP TRAINING.
2.  BACKGROUND.  THE ADOPTION OF THE M16A4, M4 CARBINE, AND THE RIFLE COMBAT OPTIC DROVE THE NEED FOR REVISED TRAINING MATERIALS, UPDATED, STANDARDIZED CLASSES AND NEW RIFLE DATABOOKS WITH APPROPRIATE WEAPONS INFORMATION.
