CHAPTER 4
FIELD TECHNIQUES
The primary mission of the sniper team is to eliminate selected
enemy targets with long-range precision fire. How well the sniper
accomplishes his mission depends on knowledge, understanding
and application of various field techniques that allow him to move,
hide, observe, and detect targets. This chapter discusses the field
techniques and skills that the sniper must learn before employment
in support of combat operations. The sniper's application of these
skills will affect his survival on the battlefield.
Section I
CAMOUFLAGE
Camouflage is one of the basic weapons of war. It can mean the difference
between a successful or unsuccessful mission. To the sniper team, it can
mean the difference between life and death. Camouflage measures are
important since the team cannot afford to be detected at any time while
moving alone, as part of another element, or while operating from a
firing position. Marksmanship training teaches the sniper to hit a target,
and a knowledge of camouflage teaches him how to avoid becoming
a target. Paying attention to camouflage fundamentals is a mark of a
well-trained sniper. (See FM 5-20 for more details.)
4-1. TARGET INDICATORS
To become proficient in camouflage, the sniper team must first
understand target indicators. Target indicators are anything a soldier
does or fails to do that could result in detection. A sniper team must know
and understand target indication not only to move undetected, but also to
detect enemy movement. Target indicators are sound, movement,
improper camouflage, disturbance of wildlife, and odors.
