Bid samples are due by 6 September, so maybe we'll hear something late this year, or early 2018.
The purchase is for "up to 50,000" so the actual buy could be less than that number.
My understanding is that the ICSR would go to select infantry units, probably first issue would be to units facing Russki troops.
What I read into this is that the 7.62x51 weapons would be in BCT units (combat -- infantry brigades). The rest of the Army would still have the M4 and M249
