| Publisher Description: 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. Field Manual 23-10 provides doctrinal guidance on the mission, personnel, organization, equipment, training, skills, and employment of the Sniper. This manual is intended for use by commanders, staffs, instructors, and soldiers at training posts, United States Army schools, and units. FM 23-10 addresses three distinct audiences: - Commanders. It provides specific guidance on the nature, role, candidate selection, organization, and employment of sniper personnel. - Trainers. It provides a reference for developing training programs. - Snipers. It contains detailed information on the fundamental knowledge, skills, and employment methods of snipers throughout the entire operational continuum. |
