Scout snipers participate in activities designed to deny the enemy freedom of movement by shooting enemy leaders, crew-served weapons operators, radiomen, observers, messengers, and other key personnel with single, well-aimed shots. Scout snipers also engage vital material targets such as command and control equipment, air defense radars, and missile launchers, which require precision rifle fire to neutralize. Scout snipers also provide close reconnaissance and surveillance to the infantry battalion.
