This 1994 edition shows sniper training tactics and techniques as taught by the U.S. Army and in reference to"a sharp-shooter concealed to harass the enemy by picking off individual members, usually at long-range and with a telescope-sigh equipped rifle." All of which is a dedicated, difficult and both physically and demanding skill. Chapters cover equipment, marksmanship, field techniques, mission preparation, sniper operations, field communications, tracking/countertracking and sustained training skills. The manual also includes an in-depth look at sniper weapons of the world and the M21 Sniper Weapon System, illustrated in great detail.
