To Be a Military Sniper

Apart from nerves of steel, precision accuracy targeting skills, uncanny adaptability and stealth, what else does it take to be a military sniper? 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.

Gregory Mast offers a clear account of what it is like to be a sniper, drawing on his own personal experince of commanding a rifle and heavy machine-gun platoon: from the correct aptitude, to being required to stay in one position for days at a time, calling on extensive training in camouflage and concealment, stalking and observation, presicion marksmanship under varying conditions, working solo or in pairs, and all the skills that turn a trainee into a deadly marksman.

The book shows fully-illustrated descriptons of sniper training as Forward Air Controller (FAC) to direct military air strikes, as Forward Observation Officesr (FOOs) in directing an artillery indication, and as mortar fire controllers (MFCs).
