The Military Experience. : Special Operations: Snipers

Among others, the elite warriors of the U.S. military include the Army's rangers, the Marines' Force Recon, the Navy's SEALs, and the Air Force's Combat Control Technicians. Each of these groups has its own select units of snipers. Trained to operate as individuals, these highly skilled, lethal marks-men are able to blend with and seemingly disappear into practically any setting. From their hiding places, U.S. snipers pick off enemy fighters one by one, sending ripples of fear through the opposing ranks.
