Snipers need to have complete control of their bodies and senses in order to be effective. In addition to long-range and high-grade marksmanship, military snipers are trained in a variety of special operation techniques: detection, stalking, target range estimation methods, camouflage, tracking, bushcraft, field craft, infiltration, special reconnaissance and observation, surveillance and target acquisition. Snipers generally have specialized training and are equipped with high-precision rifles and high-magnification optics, and often also serve as scouts/ observers feeding tactical information back to their units or command headquarters.

A sniper is a military/ paramilitary marksman who engages targets from positions of concealment or at distances exceeding the target's detection capabilities.
