Where Snipers Meet to Compete

A couple of sharpshooters from the Marine Corps finished first, followed by the snipers from Fort Knox, two Army Special Forces snipers and a team from the 82nd Airborne.

Teams based here at Fort Benning, home of the Army Sniper School, have won the past two years, but it shouldn't be a surprise that a team of Marines came out on top. After all, the Marine Corps is the only service that considers everyone—including cooks, accountants and even the commandant—to be a rifleman.
