Last thing I saw was couple different ADS where being looked at by the US Army. It would be stupid, but not unsurprising if the USMC had a duplicate effort.

Everything I can find on it (news articles in trade pubs) is from APR '16 and says both the USMC and US Army will be testing Trophy. Nothing more about them fielding it.

One article.

"LTG Walsh, Dep Commandant of the USMC - Both services will test the Trophy system–and others–and “learn from that and see whether we buy that or something else.”
