The Marine Corps Military Incentive Awards Program is designed to take advantage of the creativity of Marines to improve efficiency, economy and productivity. We encourage Marines to submit their suggestions, inventions and scientific achievements, to produce improvements in operations. Under this program they will be recognized and rewarded for their ideas that benefit the Marine Corps. Their contributions will be publicized to demonstrate command support, to remind Marines of the continuing need for efficiency and economy, and to encourage greater program participation. Consistent with the policy of the Department of the Navy, the Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) is responsible for the overall administration of the program.
