Soldiers from the 6th and 8th/9th Battalions, The Royal Australian Regiment, conduct the live-fire phase of the Basic Sniper Course with the SR98 Sniper Rifle at Greenbank Training Area, Queensland.
Soldiers from the 6th Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment, completed the Basic Sniper Course to qualify as snipers in the Australian Army.
The course involved a theory module where participants learned about navigation by day and night, and were assessed on basic soldier skills.
The following module focuses on camouflage and concealment, judging distances, observation, stalking an enemy, and refining their marksmanship skills at various distances on the SR98 Sniper Rifle.
The Basic Sniper Course is competitive to ensure the Australian Army chooses the best for employment as Sniper Team Leaders, and only the most capable participants finish the course as qualified snipers.
