Inside the Marine Corps’ New Recon Sniper Course — A Visual Journey

Yesterday, Coffee or Die Magazine broke the story that the Marines have developed a new course to train snipers for the Corps’ elite Reconnaissance units.

That means we can now reveal that Coffee or Die staffers have been embedded with the Marines of Reconnaissance Training Company on Camp Pendleton off and on for the past month as they train 10 students in the first-ever Reconnaissance Sniper Course. We are following this first class of Recon Snipers all the way through the pilot course, which concludes March 19.

As always, we’re committed to what we do best, which is put boots on the ground to produce detailed multimedia coverage of these types of historical developments and, in this case, provide our readers an intimate view of how some of our most elite warriors are trained.

One thing the USMC didn't need was  a new course on how to be a sniper. They were already doing that as well as anyone can do it.

"Recon Sniper" is Horse Hillary,no doubt proposed by a senior officer that got his position due to being born into the "right" family,and who never served as a grunt.

Got a hot tip for ya,bubba. You can NOT be a live sniper and not do recon before you set up your position. You know what they call snipers who don't do this?

"Dead snipers".
