GENTEXT/RMKS/1.  BACKGROUND.  AS A RESULT OF REF (A), SIGNIFICANT CHANGES
TO TABLES 1 AND 2 OF THE MARINE CORPS COMBAT MARKSMANSHIP PROGRAM (MCCMP)
WERE RECOMMENDED.  MONTHS OF TESTING AND VALIDATION OF THESE RECOMMENDED
CHANGES WERE CONDUCTED FOLLOWING THE FY 06 MCCMP SYMPOSIUM. AS A RESULT OF
REF (B), IT WAS DETERMINED THAT SUFFICIENT TEST DATA WAS COLLECTED AND
VALIDATED TO IMPLEMENT CHANGES TO TABLES 1 AND 2 IN ORDER TO ENSURE THESE
TABLES CONTINUE TO BUILD THE FOUNDATION NEEDED FOR A MARINE TO PROGRESS
TO TABLES 3 AND 4 OF THE MCCMP. 
2.  IMPLEMENTATION.  STARTING 05 FEB 07 THE FOLLOWING CHANGES TO TABLES
1 AND 2 OF THE MCCMP WILL BE IMPLEMENTED FOR ALL MARINES/ RECRUITS REQUIRED

C.  FIRING FROM THE 50 YARD LINE FOR SHORT RANGE ENGAGEMENTS AND 200 YARD
LINE FOR MOVERS ARE STILL AUTHORIZED FOR THOSE RANGES THAT CAN NOT SUPPORT
25 OR 100 YARD LINES. 
5.  COORDINATING INSTRUCTIONS.
A.  TABLE 2 TARGETS.  TABLE 2 WILL UTILIZE A ECHO SILHOUETTE TARGET
(NSN 6920-00-795-1806)MODIFIED W. SCORING AREAS IN THE HEAD, UPPER CHEST,
AND PELVIC GIRDLE OF THE TARGET. CONTACT THE POC OF THIS MESSAGE FOR
SCORING AREA DIMENSIONS.
B.  TABLE 2 SCORING. FOR THE REMAINDER OF FY 07 THE PERCENTAGE OF HITS ON
TARGET WILL REMAIN AS THE OFFICIAL SCORING SYSTEM. THE POINT SCORING SYSTEM
THAT WAS APPROVED FROM REF (B) WILL NOT BE IMPLEMENTED UNTIL THE START OF
FY 08. RANGE PERSONNEL WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CALCULATING BOTH A PERCENTAGE
OF HITS FOR A SHOOTER'S OFFICIAL TABLE 2 SCORE AND A SHOOTER'S TOTAL POINTS
EARNED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DATA COLLECTION IOT ASSIST MCMCOE IN DEVELOPING THE
PASSING STANDARD USING THE POINTS SCORING SYSTEM. HITS WITHIN THE SCORING
AREAS ARE WORTH 2 POINTS, HITS ON TARGET OUTSIDE THE SCORING AREA ARE WORTH
1 POINT, AND MISSES ARE WORTH 0 POINTS (EXCEPT FOR MOVERS STAGE OF FIRE). 
FOR THE MOVERS STAGE OF FIRE ALL HITS ON TARGET ARE WORTH 2 POINTS AND MISSES
ARE WORTH 0 POINTS. MAXIMUM SCORE FOR TABLE 2 IS 100 POINTS. 
C.  PASSING TABLE 2.  75% HITS ON TARGET OR GREATER IS STILL NEEDED TO QUALIFY
ON TABLE 2 WHEN FIRED AT 25 YARDS.  FOR RANGES STILL FIRING TABLE 2 AT 50 YARDS
DUE TO RANGE CONSTRAINTS, 50% HITS ON TARGET OR GREATER IS NEEDED TO QUALIFY
ON TABLE 2. COMPLETION OF TABLE 2 TRAINING IS STILL A REQUIREMENT FOR
MARINES/RECRUITS TO COMPLETE THEIR ANNUAL RIFLE TRAINING. PASSING TABLE 2 IS
A REQUIREMENT FOR A MARINE TO EARN THEIR RIFLE QUALIFICATION BADGE FROM TABLE 1. 
D.  TABLE 2 DATA COLLECTION. ALL RANGE PERSONNEL RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONDUCT OF
TABLE 2 TRAINING ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE QUALIFICATION SCORES FROM THE POINTS
SCORING SYSTEM TO DOCTRINE SECTION, MCMCOE FOR ALL RANGE DETAILS CONDUCTED FROM
05 FEB 07 TO 01 JULY 07.  THE DATA WILL BE USED BY MCMCOE TO DETERMINE AN
AGGREGATE QUALIFICATION SCORE FROM BOTH TABLES 1 AND 2. ALL QUALIFICATION SCORES
SHOULD BE EMAILED TO THE FOLLOWING: SSGT JASPER TAPIA, EMAIL:JASPER.TAPIA@USMC
.MIL AND CWO5 DANIEL LUKE, EMAIL:DANIEL.K.LUKE@USMC.MIL. 
E.  AGGREGATE SCORING.  STARTING 01 OCT 07 (FY08) A NEW AGGREGATE SCORING SYSTEM
FOR RIFLE MARKSMANSHIP QUALIFICATION WILL BE IMPLEMENTED.  THE AGGREGATE SCORE
WILL CONSIST OF THE SHOOTER'S TABLE 1 AND TABLE 2 SCORES.
6.  SINCE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MCCMP ON 01 OCT 05, CONFUSION HAS PERSISTED
THROUGHOUT THE MARINE CORPS AS TO THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MCCMP AND THE ENHANCED
MARKSMANSHIP PROGRAMS (EMP).  THE MCCMP IS THE OFFICIAL INSTITUTIONALIZED
MARKSMANSHIP PROGRAM THAT ENCOMPASSES FUNDAMENTAL AND COMBAT MARKSMANSHIP TRAINING. 
EMP WAS A TEMPORARY SOLUTION, CREATED BY VARIOUS COMMANDS, TO THE MARINE CORPS'
NEEDS FOR ADDITIONAL COMBAT MARKSMANSHIP TRAINING UNTIL A FORMAL INSTITUTIONALIZED
TRAINING PROGRAM COULD BE DEVELOPED BY MCMCOE, TECOM.  EMP HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY
REPLACED BY THE MCCMP.  ALL MARINES/RECRUITS REQUIRED TO CONDUCT ANNUAL RIFLE
MARKSMANSHIP TRAINING MUST COMPLETE TABLES 1-3 OF MCCMP. INFANTRY MARINES ARE
REQUIRED TO COMPLETE TABLES 1-4 OF MCCMP FOR ANNUAL RIFLE MARKSMANSHIP TRAINING. 
FOR THE PREDEPLOYMENT TRAINING PROGRAM, ALL MARINES WITHIN NON-INFANTRY UNITS MUST
COMPLETE TABLES 1-3 OF MCCMP AND ALL MARINES WITHIN INFANTRY UNITS MUST COMPLETE
TABLES 1-4 OF THE MCCMP PER THE OIF/OEF PREDEPLOYMENT TRAINING PROGRAM MESSAGE DTD 17
