In the United States Marine Corps (USMC), the M16A2 assault rifle is currently being phased out in favor of the M16A4, which allows for easier attachment of optics and accessories. The M4 carbine instead replaces the M9 handgun for officers, and the M27 Infantry Automatic Rifle is being adopted to replace the M249 LMG.
