Book excerpt: Training with the M24A1 weapon system.The United States Army sniper is a specially selected volunteer highly trained in advanced marksmanship and Fieldcraft skills. He can support special operations missions and is able to engage selected targets from concealed positions at ranges and under conditions that are not possible for the normal rifleman. The sniper's skill acts as a force multiplier, where the mission is two-fold: (1) to eliminate high-value tactical targets on the battlefield, and (2) act as observer gathering intelligence. This OFFICIAL Field Manual 23-10 provides doctrinal guidance on the mission, personnel, organization, equipment, training, skills, and employment of the Sniper.
