Military Sniper Instruction

This special collection of 8 hard-to-get books and manuals comprises just about every available training source for this specialized craft.

• Naval Special Warfare Basic Sniper Training Syllabus - 301 pages - The primary mission of the SEAL scout sniper in combat is to support combat operations by delivering precision fire on selected targets from concealed positions. The SEAL sniper also has a secondary mission of gathering information for intelligence purposes. The future combat operations that would most likely involve Naval Special Warfare would be low intensity type combat operations that would employ SEAL personnel in the gathering of information for future military operations or the surgical removal of military targets and personnel with a minimal assault force with no loss of life to civilian personnel. This is the ideal mission profile to employ snipers due to their advanced field skills, marksmanship and their ability to operate independently in a field environment.

• Sniper Training - 174 pages - The sniper has special abilities, training, and equipment. His job is to deliver discriminatory, highly accurate rifle fire against enemy targets, which cannot be engaged successfully by a rifleman because of range, size, location, fleeting nature, or visibility. Sniping requires the development of basic infantry skills to a high degree of perfection. A snipers training incorporates a wide variety of subjects designed to increase his value as a force multiplier and to ensure his survival on the battlefield. The art of sniping requires learning and repetitiously practicing these skills until mastered. A sniper must be highly trained in long-range rifle marksmanship and field craft skills to ensure maximum effective engagements with minimum risk

• USMC Scout Sniper Instructor - 168 pages - How many of you have seen "Sands of Iwo Jima"? Remember John Wayne charging up Mt. Surabachi? He's just about to reach the top when out of a hole in the ground pops Hollywood's infamous Japanese Sniper. Seconds later, end of John Wayne. Of course, moments later the Japanese sniper is killed and once again good triumphs over evil. But again, Hollywood has created an image of a sniper for the American public. Regrettably, that same image is focused in the minds of many military people as well. Whenever the word sniper is mentioned, many of us automatically conjure up images of Germans and Japanese tied in trees or popping out of holes to shoot John Wayne, Vic Morrow or Tab Hunter. In reality, nothing could be further from the truth. So what we've got to do is erase that Hollywood image and discuss what a sniper really is and what a sniper can really do.

• United States Army Counter Sniper Guide - 31 pages - With the increase in civil disorders, the term sniper has come into common usage (particularly in the press) which is in general, erroneously used in that the term is commonly applied to any person who fires at a specific area or person with any type of firearm. Webster defines a SNIPER as "a sharpshooter concealed to harass the enemy by picking off individual members, usually at long range, and with a telescopic-sight equipped rifle." Regardless of what we may call him, the individual who is shooting at police, firemen, soldiers or citizens is certainly dangerous. In order to counteract, we must employ a trained individual whose knowledge and skill fall within the dictionary description of a sniper, whom we shall refer to throughout the manual as a COUNTERSNIPER. This manual provides general basic information in the selection of equipment, training, and employment of the countersniper.

The sniper's training, combined with the inherent accuracy of his rifle, firmly establishes him as a valuable addition to the weapons available to the infantry commander.
