What is the primary role of snipers in the GCE?

The primary role of snipers in the Ground Combat Element (GCE) is to provide precision fire and disrupt enemy operations. This specialized role is crucial in modern military engagements, where the ability to engage targets from a distance with high accuracy can significantly influence the outcome of engagements. Snipers utilize their skills to assess and identify enemy positions, gather intelligence, and take out high-value targets, thereby creating confusion and disrupting the enemy's plans.

The emphasis on precision means that snipers are trained to engage in long-range shooting with a focus on each shot’s effectiveness, ensuring they only fire when a clear opportunity presents itself. This capability allows the GCE to conduct operations with a reduced risk of collateral damage and enhances overall mission success.
