Marines Experience
New Combat Oriented Pistol Qualification

Marines with 1st Marine Division qualify with the pistol through the new Combat Pistol Program during a combat marksmanship coach course on Nov. 7, 2013.

The CPP is designed to be more combat oriented than previous programs. The course of fire is designed to keep shooters prepared to mimic combat situations. Less time to engage targets during drills forces Marines to have a constant combat mindset.

The new silhouette targets allow shooters to identify facial features, body structure and if the target is holding a weapon or posing a potential threat.
