If anyone is interested, here is the USMC's concept paper on transforming their PT program.

Makes for an interesting read. The most notable parts is that they " are arguing that fitness should follow function—that combat fitness should be functional for combat. A preparation effort in which a program based on functional movements executed with representative intensity of combat should be most effective.
I believe that the framework will be based on a CrossFit (
www.crossfit.com) model. Their views on the PFT and use of organic equipment instead of fancy Nautilus machines and ellipticals is a great move.
