The Individual Marksman Support System (IMSS) is a system of integrated load carriage components supporting National Guard Unit Marksmanship Trainer Course (UMTC) students and advisory personnel. Team members require the IMSS equipment to enhance vital skillsets such as small arms marksmanship, escalation of force and general lethality support. These advanced tactics and associated load carriage equipment within the 8050-010-1001 IMSS will be utilized in numerous training activities and contingency operations. The IMSS increases capabilities and provides the overall safety and operational consistency required to complete the extremely wide mission set of the Army National Guard – Version 3.
