A Fort Bragg team defended its hometown title at the US Army Special Operations Command International Sniper Competition, which finished on Friday, March 25, while a team from the 1st French SAS beat every other American team in the contest to finish second.
Twenty-one teams from across the military, US law enforcement, and allied armies began the competition on Sunday, which pitted competitors in 23 events over four days of shooting. Firing roughly 30,000 rounds, the teams ran through events that measured long-distance accuracy, team communication, moving and firing, shot priority drills, and combat fitness. Events covered long-range rifles, carbines, and pistols.
