That ended, and the powers that be created a Sniper Employment Leaders Course. I'm not sure if that still exists either, but it might be a good place to start your research.Response by CPT Private RallyPoint Member made Dec 21 at 2018 3:25 PM2018-12-21T15:25:13-05:002018-12-21T15:25:13-05:00LTC John Griscom4227185<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Not the best use of an officer's time.Response by LTC John Griscom made Dec 22 at 2018 9:38 AM2018-12-22T09:38:29-05:002018-12-22T09:38:29-05:00CPT Private RallyPoint Member4227996<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>To the best of my knowledge all ACE operators are qualified snipers irrespective of rank.

I was a Master Sniper which I ran a class every post OTC which I trained new snipers as well as a new officer that would command our troop. It is critical for a Troop Commander to understand the fundementals of sniper operations and operational sniper support. All officers in CAG go throught the same training as the NCOs.Response by MSG Danny Mathers made Dec 22 at 2018 3:31 PM2018-12-22T15:31:44-05:002018-12-22T15:31:44-05:00Lt Col Jim Coe6809430<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Why? There’s lots of skills courses officers might want to go through. It’s not their job. Officers generally lead people and manage resources. They plan, direct, and evaluate operations or functions. Sniper training might be beneficial for the OIC or commander of the sniper school.Response by Lt Col Jim Coe made Mar 9 at 2021 4:15 PM2021-03-09T16:15:14-05:002021-03-09T16:15:14-05:002018-07-17T04:37:06-04:00
