Just wondering, but since its "the armies" future landwarrior program, when they finally decide on the system is the marine corp going to get a slice of the pie? Or are the marines just going to get the same old stuff? Do the marines even have the budget to mass produce and standardize this possibly expensive equipment?

Marines usually get the gear a few years after the US Army begins to implement it. Not sure exactly how it works, but it seemed that once the Army decided to adopt something, the USMC followed suit soon after.

Y'know, let them work out all the bugs....
