Sniper School: The Secrets Of Camouflage | Forces TV

More: www.forces.net/news/sniper-sc...
Snipers are the military's master marksmen. Their job, in theory, is simple - to not be seen and take the deadly shot at any distance. But staying hidden is a skill in itself, taking patience, stealth and camouflage. In the first of a series our 'Sniper School' series, we see how soldiers learn to become invisible to the enemy as they attempt to become sniper instructors.

Where does the seminal educational film "How Not To Be Seen" fit into this?

Ah, the infamous backpack trail dug into the grass knocking everything down along it's route to "position." All we got to eat was earthworms and bugs along the way and a solar still plastic sheet to catch moisture from vegetation.

[@catlee8064]

We made our own Ghillie suits....Sandbags ripped and torn, tied and stitched together with elastic loops for foliage...10 km infil to range area, set up a hide, and for 2 mins over the next 48 hours a target would appear somewhere on the range....if you missed it you failed...and had to start again.

[@cianmac3934]

Thank you for your service Captain B. Adder!

[@EstanciaTimesDocumentary]

Wow..such a skiill

[@26TptCoy]

We had to do the same except what we were hiding was a convoy of 6 wheel drive trucks with blurry headlights. Aircraft recon would do a run and later the photos would be enlarged and brought to a briefing, funny thing, every truck was spotted. So I said whats the point of it. UN forces painted all theirs white with UN in big letters we might do the same , I said a good color might be yellow. and we could put big letters that spell ENEMY.

[@richybarrett]

It’s seems slightly different to when I did it nearly 30 years ago. We didn’t use drag bags in those days, we’d dump our bergen and carry whatever we could cram into our sniper smocks. We also didn’t carry full webbing like they were, we only had a couple of webbing pouches on the sides so our profile was lower. Most of us also wore ghillie over trousers, which camo’d the left knee/shin and boots and we had little ghillie suits for our rifles.

Put the watch face on the underside of your wrist. The watch is your worst enemy as a sniper. To prevent the sun from reflecting on your optics, use black nylons to cover the lenses on all of your optics.

Is camouflage as important with sites and weapons getting better and sniper targets being up to 3km away? I guess enemy locations can also be guarded by people with good optical equipment.
