| My friend Chad Binsfield
explained to me once the role of a sniper and his scout/backup.
Basically, the designated sniper takes the primary shot, and exfiltrates
the location as quickly and quietly as possible. The scout/backup covers
the rear on the pre-designated exfiltration route until the designated
sniper can get into a position to place protection fire in support of
the backup. I've read Carlos Hathcock's diaries where he did just that
on several occasions.
My two cents? I'd love to team up with Binsfield on a sniper team any day, man... |
