The Employment of Sniper in Modern Battlefield

Abstract

Abstract- Snipers are important instruments on the battlefield whose casualty-producing capability is an enormous force multiplier for companies and battalions.  This essay will define the role of the sniper on the modern battlefield and how to most efficiently employ their capabilities (the “momentum” of snipers).  Additionally, the history of the sniper will be reviewed with a particular focus on their tactical employment in light of technological improvements.
