Top sniper teams from the U.S. Army, Navy and Marines went head to head last week – but who proved they were the best?

Snipers from the world's most elite special operations forces converged on Fort Bragg, North Carolina for the seventh annual Special Operations Command International Sniper Competition hosted by the U.S. Army Special Operations Command.

The annual competition is five grueling days designed to test the world’s best snipers to the limit. Some 25 teams took part in 21 incredibly difficult events during the competition, which ran from March 20 through March 25.

A diverse range of teams competed, including snipers representing Special Forces (the Green Berets), Rangers, Special Mission units, Navy SEALS, Marine Special Operations and Federal law enforcement officers.

Foreign allied special operations forces units including teams from Singapore, Kazakhstan and Ireland joined American snipers to battle it out for the title. Ireland took the winning title at Fort Benning’s 14th annual International Sniper Competition last October, but did not repeat their success this year.





For the love of all that is good, whatever you do, please don't click this link and actually take the 2 fricking minutes it takes to actually read an entire news article.


ETA: For the whiny pussies too lazy to even click a link, the winner was the United fricking States Army.

Happy now?

The U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School and the U.S. Army's Special Operations Center of Excellence's (SOCoE) Special Forces Sniper Course Cadre ran the competition. The SOCoE is also home to other very elite training like honing urban combat skills.



Since the op is a click baiting a-hole.

Darth you did click bait it. You should know by now to put that in the OP bc the collective OT, myself definitely included, is too lazy to read through all of that. Especially when the only reason why I clicked the thread was the skim the OP and get the answe.
