1
00:00:00,407 --> 00:00:03,030
(soldiers conversing quietly)

2
00:00:03,030 --> 00:00:04,500
- I think it was the Chinese that said,

3
00:00:04,500 --> 00:00:06,350
"Kill one man, terrorize a thousand."

4
00:00:07,780 --> 00:00:08,922
All throughout history,

5
00:00:08,922 --> 00:00:12,300
Marine Corps snipers have been feared on the battlefield.

6
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:16,430
You send out some sniper teams and they start working,

7
00:00:16,430 --> 00:00:19,110
and they're getting those hits, they're making those kills,

8
00:00:19,110 --> 00:00:20,770
the enemy knows about that.

9
00:00:21,986 --> 00:00:24,050
It reduces the enemy's freedom of movement.

10
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,280
Using a sniper in a useful combat operation,

11
00:00:27,292 --> 00:00:29,590
you wanna make sure that the sniper's able to hit

12
00:00:29,590 --> 00:00:30,590
what he's aiming at.

13
00:00:31,050 --> 00:00:33,020
One of the pluses for using snipers,

14
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,590
by us using close air support or heavy weapons,

15
00:00:35,590 --> 00:00:37,472
if you're in close with the enemy,

16
00:00:37,472 --> 00:00:40,100
and you wanna minimize collateral damage,

17
00:00:40,100 --> 00:00:44,980
snipers is a perfect way to do it.

18
00:00:44,980 --> 00:00:46,830
But for the commanders to be able to trust our guys,

19
00:00:46,830 --> 00:00:49,600
they need to be proficient in what they're doing.

20
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,160
They need to be proficient in their patrolling,

21
00:00:51,160 --> 00:00:53,890
they need to be proficient in their CQB skills,

22
00:00:53,890 --> 00:00:55,160
proficient in their weapons systems,

23
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,440
and if they're working in a small team,

24
00:00:57,620 --> 00:01:00,940
and a man goes down that's responsible for a piece of gear,

25
00:01:00,940 --> 00:01:02,020
like say the radio,

26
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:03,820
everyone on that team needs to be able to

27
00:01:03,820 --> 00:01:05,370
know how to operate that radio,

28
00:01:05,460 --> 00:01:06,850
just like every one of the team needs to be able

29
00:01:06,850 --> 00:01:09,740
to know how to operate the precision weapons system.

30
00:01:10,262 --> 00:01:12,429
(gunfire)

31
00:01:12,824 --> 00:01:15,574
