Sniper and Counter Sniper Tactics - The Official U.S. Army Manual
Observation, Concealment, Surveillance, and Force Protection in Modern Battlefield DoctrineBy U.S. Department of Defense
Length9h 42m
About this audiobook
*Sniper and Counter Sniper Tactics – The Official U.S. Army Manual* presents a systematic treatment of the specialized knowledge required to employ, detect, and defeat military snipers. Combining doctrinal explanation with practical field guidance, it addresses observation, concealment, camouflage, reconnaissance, target identification, movement, firing considerations, counter-sniper measures, and the coordination of individuals and units. Its concise, procedural prose, structured headings, and emphasis on repeatable methods place it within the tradition of twentieth- and twenty-first-century military field manuals: utilitarian documents designed less for literary ornament than for clarity, standardization, and disciplined application under pressure. The work is consequently valuable as both a technical reference and a record of institutional military thinking about precision, patience, terrain, and information. The author, the U.S. Department of Defense, represents the collective expertise and operational experience of America's armed forces rather than a single personal voice. The manual emerged from the military need to codify lessons concerning irregular warfare, battlefield observation, force protection, and the evolving contest between concealment and surveillance. Its official status gives the text particular significance as a document of doctrine, training, and organizational memory. Readers interested in military history, tactical studies, intelligence, or the development of modern combat doctrine will find this manual especially rewarding. It is recommended for its disciplined presentation, historical value, and insight into how professional forces transform specialized battlefield practice into teachable, standardized knowledge.
