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.
