| Synopsis: |
What does it take to be a military sniper? Nerves of steel, endless patience, precision, accuracy, targeting skills, uncanny adaptability, stealth, painstaking observation skills and attention to detail. This book lays out the details of training and character traits that make for success in one of the most challenging and go-anywhere jobs the military has to offer, whether behind enemy lines, on protection detail, in a war zone.Gregory Mast offers a clear account of what it is like to be a sniper, drawing on his own personal experience of command of a rifle and heavy machine gun platoon. From the correct aptitude, to being required to stay in one place and position for days at a time without being visible, calling on extensive training in camouflage and concealment, stalking and observation, precision marksmanship under varying conditions, and all the skills that turn the trainee into a deadly marksman.The book shows fully-illustrated descriptions of sniper training as a forward Air Controller (FOC) to direct military air strikes, as Forward Observation Officers (FOO) in directing an artillery indication, and as Mortar Fire Controllers (MFC), in addition to groundings in surveillance and equipment. |
