A U.S. Marine sniper is a highly trained marksman in the United States Marine Corps, specializing in long-range shooting and reconnaissance. These snipers undergo rigorous training to develop skills in marksmanship, camouflage, and observation, allowing them to engage targets from great distances while remaining undetected. Marine snipers often operate in small teams and play a crucial role in military operations. They gather intelligence, provide support for ground troops, and eliminate high-value targets. Their training includes the use of advanced equipment, such as sniper rifles and night vision devices, to enhance their effectiveness in various combat situations.
