Subject: Support for Amendment to Enhance USMC Rifle Marksmanship Training in FY2027 Appropriations Act

Dear Congressman Aderholt,

I am writing to express my strong support for an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2027 Department of War Appropriations Act that would mandate a minimum of 3,120 rounds of annual rifle training for every United States Marine. As a signer of the #morebulletspeez petition, which has garnered widespread backing from Marine families, veterans, and concerned citizens, I urge you to consider including this provision in the bill during subcommittee markup.

This amendment addresses a critical readiness gap, particularly for the approximately 118,000 Marines in support and non-infantry roles who often receive fewer than 400 rounds per year. By allocating $235 million—$75 million for Operation and Maintenance, Marine Corps (including rifle sustainment such as barrel replacements) and $160 million for Procurement of Ammunition, Navy and Marine Corps—it ensures all Marines uphold the "every Marine a rifleman" principle without redundancy for combat-oriented positions. The proposal includes flexible scheduling and a policy directive for the Commandant to update Marine Corps Order 3574.2M, promoting efficiency and accountability.

As a member of the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, your leadership is essential in prioritizing such investments in our military's preparedness. I respectfully request your support for this amendment to strengthen the Marine Corps' capabilities.

Thank you for your service and consideration. I look forward to your response.

Sincerely,

[Your Full Name]
