What's New in Point of Action

1.5.0

October 26, 2026

Version 1.5 is a major content and training update focused on practical repetitions, stronger doctrine lessons, and better tools for teaching Marines. NEW: LAND NAVIGATION GRID PLOT SPRINT Practice plotting eight-digit grids on an interactive training map. Complete five plots in five minutes, zoom and pan for precision, review missed grids, and try to beat your personal best. Untimed practice is available too. NEW: CALL FOR FIRE OBSERVER REPS Work through randomized observation scenarios and build three-transmission Call for Fire requests using GRID or POLAR. Read target grids from the map or use a compass bearing and estimated distance, construct the call, and get specific feedback before trying another rep. Includes six- and eight-digit grid practice. EXPANDED DOCTRINE TRAINING More LEARN lessons and applied exercises covering: - MCDP 5: Planning, including decisions under time pressure. - MCDP 1-0: Marine Corps Operations and MAGTF fundamentals. - MCDP 2: Intelligence and its role in decision-making. - MCDP 6: Command and Control, with a connected LEARN-to-PRACTICE-to-DECIDE training path. - MAGTF Targeting: the targeting cycle, staff decisions, resource prioritization, and assessment. NEW AND IMPROVED DECIDE SCENARIOS Apply commander's intent when communications fail in "Intent Has to Survive Without You." Reevaluate machine-gun positioning as exposure, protection, and fields of fire change in "Where Does the Gun Go?" Call for Fire GRID and POLAR scenarios also have clearer maps and improved radio examples. IMPROVED TEACH TOOLS A new Call for Fire instructional package adds 12 whiteboards and a Knowledge Check. Eligible Hip Pocket Classes can now be exported as instructor PDF packets with teaching notes, diagrams, and Knowledge Check QR codes. Save, share, or print packets for your next class. BETTER PROGRESSION AND REVIEW - Guided lesson paths make it easier to find your next training step. - Smart Review brings back missed questions for spaced repetition. - Improved completion and reward rules prevent duplicate XP and Supply from replays. - Cleaner module navigation and clearer feedback throughout the app. DAILY TRAINING REMINDERS Optional Daily Reflection notifications now rotate through 60 quotations drawn from Marine Corps doctrine, Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and military leaders. Plus fixes to Call for Fire scoring and formatting, whiteboard layouts, PDF sharing, and other reliability issues. Stop doom scrolling. Learn something.

Best thing since high cuts

This app makes doctrine and tactics super simple to read and understand, I wish I had this when I was a boot.

Great tool to become more of a proficient 03xx

Iโ€™m a 0331 but 03xx Infantry comes first in my books. This is a great tool to master the basics of an infantryman itself. This app is a great tool to learn a summarized version of its tactics inside of pubs. Iโ€™ll be showing this app to my Juniors. This is a good app, keep it up with its fire updates and the app itself. GUNS UP!
