Scout Sniper Kopfjager shirt
A Scout Sniper Platoon is a United States Marine Corps unit used primarily for information-gathering. Taking out hard targets and enemy personnel is not a scout sniper's main priority, although it is a secondary option. Surveillance and Target Acquisition (STA) Platoons, very similar units, existed until shortly after the Gulf War. A Scout Sniper Platoon is composed of 8-10 Scout Sniper teams, some of which are specially suited for night operations and fully capable of operating in complete darkness through use of night vision scopes and infrared laser equipment. Typically, each Scout Sniper team has two members. The team leader is equipped with a long-range, specially-made sniper rifle such as the M40 and a high-power spotting scope, while the other member carries a Special Application Scoped Rifle (SASR), usually in the .50 caliber class such as the M82A1, to give commanders the option of taking out heavy equipment or heavily armored targets. Scout Sniper teams can be effective at a range of up to 1.25 miles (2.01 km) if the environment is right. |
