1. Both of your links are the exact same article, written by the same person.

2. No new news in the article. The M4 replacement trials have been planned since 2009. The M4 upgrade started a bit earlier. M855A1 is also old news as is Mk317 SOST (which wasn't mentioned)

3. 5.56 is the STANAG caliber. That isn't going to change short of a major advantage. No traditional brass cased ammo is offering that kind of advantage. LSAT is probably the only real chance to change caliber and it isn't ready for the main stage yet.
