Pasciuti, the battalion gunner for Infantry Training Battalion, School of Infantry - West, gives a brief to students about the Infantry Marine Course on Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California, Jan. 25, 2021. IMC is a 14-week pilot course designed to create better trained and more lethal entry-level infantry Marines prepared for near-peer conflicts. The course uses a redesigned learning model for students intended to develop their capabilities for independent and adaptive thought and action. The program of instruction for IMC has been in development for a year and follows guidance from the 2019 Commandant's Planning Guidance and Force Design 2030. Pasciuti is a native of San Jose, California. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Kerstin Roberts) - U.S. Marine Chief Warrant Officer 3 A.J.
