The HK, known in the Marines as the M27, is set to replace the M249 SAW. It won't be seeing general issue to all troops.

Right now I seriously doubt anything will come out of the Individual Carbine competition. The weapons submitted likely won't provide enough additional benefit to justify the cost of widespread adoption, and we will more than likely just standardize on the M4A1 across all branches of the service.
that'd be nice, my ship was stuck with M16A2s still.
