A Combat Sniper is highly skilled in fieldcraft and marksmanship who delivers long range precision fire, on select targets, from concealed positions in support of combat operations.

In addition to marksmanship, combat snipers are trained in camouflage, field craft, infiltration, reconnaissance and observation. Snipers are especially effective when deployed within the terrain of urban warfare, or jungle warfare.

Support combat operations by delivering precision fire on selected targets.
Establish concealed sniper/observation sites from which targets are analyzed, engaged, and information gathered.

Use map and compass for day or night land navigation.

Operate and maintain weapons and optical equipment employed by the combat sniper team.
