Doctrine doesn't have to be boring. Point of Action turns Marine Corps doctrine into tactical training you'll actually want to use. Created by LostLt1775, Point of Action takes the publications sitting on your hard drive, bookshelf, or reading list and puts the important parts at your fingertips. Then it gives you a reason to learn them. Whether you're preparing for the field, brushing up on a perishable skill, or building a class for your Marines, turn knowledge into action. LEARN Cut through hundreds of pages of doctrine and focus on what matters, why it matters, and how it applies to the fight. Explore Warfighting, Tactics, Planning, Intelligence, Command and Control, Fire Support, Land Navigation, and more. PRACTICE Build proficiency through short, repeatable exercises designed for retention. Plot eight-digit grids against the clock. Construct Call for Fire requests using GRID and POLAR methods. Reinforce weapons knowledge and tactical fundamentals. Not everything needs another multiple-choice quiz. Sometimes you just need more repetitions. DECIDE Put doctrine to work through tactical decision games and Quick Decisions. Read the situation. Make the call. Adapt when conditions change. Every decision creates tradeoffs. Learn to recognize them, explain your reasoning, and apply doctrine to tactical problems. TEACH Turn what you know into training for your Marines. Hip Pocket Classes provide instructional content, whiteboards, discussion questions, and Knowledge Checks. Run Class mode walks you through instruction step by step. Marines can scan a QR code afterward to complete the Knowledge Check. Less time building classes. More time training Marines. WORK-UP Build proficiency progressively, from individual fundamentals to fire team, squad, platoon, company, and battalion-level material. AMC PREP Prepare for the Advanced Mortarmen Course with focused training on mortar fundamentals, RSOP and occupation, fire direction, survivability, gunner's exam preparation, and plotting-board fundamentals. ACRONYMS, DEFINITIONS & WEAPONS Search an offline reference library of Marine Corps acronyms, terms, and definitions. Use Weapons Quick Cards for weapon characteristics, effective ranges, rates of fire, and other reference information, then reinforce your knowledge through practice. TELL ME WHAT TO TRAIN Got five minutes? Fifteen? Half an hour? Tell Point of Action how much time you have, and get a training recommendation from LEARN, PRACTICE, DECIDE, and TEACH. Stop deciding what to study. Start training. COMBAT OUTPOST Your training progress carries into a persistent tactical defense game. Defend your position, unlock capabilities, improve your outpost, and keep progressing as you train. MORE WAYS TO IMPROVE Point of Action also includes: - PFT and CFT scoring tools with event feedback and improvement recommendations. - Smart Review to revisit missed questions and reinforce retention. - Optional training reminders and weekly prompts. - Daily reflections featuring Marine Corps doctrine and classical wisdom. - Offline access to training content and references. FIVE MINUTES WELL SPENT. Five minutes in the barracks. Twenty minutes before formation. A class for your Marines tomorrow. You don't need more PDFs sitting unread on your hard drive. You need to open them, understand them, and put that knowledge to work. Stop doom scrolling. Learn something. Learn. Practice. Decide. Teach. Created by LostLt1775. Point of Action uses publicly available Marine Corps publications and clearly identified supplemental instructional material. The app is independently developed and is not an official product of, affiliated with, or endorsed by, the United States Marine Corps, Department of the Navy, or Department of Defense.
