During combat operations, Marine Gunners assists their force commanders in battle tracking.

Additional assignments may be assigned based on future needs of the Marine Corps; such as new weapons systems acquisition, new weapons systems research and development, management of the units ammunition allocation—and the unit training plan, infantry training, and fire support planning.
They have oversight of the unit's annual re-qualification programs for the service rifle and pistol, and supervise the unit's training programs with respect to individual and infantry crew served weapons—to include preparation of training plans and schedules. They also design, develop, implement and control expeditionary ranges, world wide. They have the ability to "set-up" combined arms training. As infantry weapons officers advance in grade, they are assigned to instructor/trainer billets, usually at the School of Infantry, Infantry Officer Course, The Basic School, etc., or more prestigious assignments, such as the Anti-Terrorism Battalion of 4th Marine Division (under the Fleet Marine Force operational status–the 4th Marine Expeditionary Brigade (4th MEB)).
