POTD: Sniper Training In the Dark

    Our theme for Today’s Photo Of The Day goes in Green, White and Black.

    The firearm above is possibly a SCAR-H, suppressed and equipped with Night Vision. Due to the limited visibility, it’s a bit difficult to make out what is going on, and with what, but it’s interesting to take a look at Night Vision images from time to time.

    We’re looking at students from the Level 2 Sniper Course at Fort Carson, Colorado, as they perform their final culminating exercise before graduation.

    The exercise has students performing long-range precision marksmanship under stress and against multiple targets and forces students to utilize all the skills they learned during the six-week course.

    POTD, short for Photo Of The Day, is TFB’s recurring articles where we try to find the best pictures out there.
