    Sgt. Shane Franzen a U.S. Force Reconnaissance Marine and Scout Sniper with 3D Force Reconnaissance Company, 4th Marine Division, Marine Forces Reserve, engages a target from an incline position with his M110 semi-automatic sniper system (SASS) rifle on Panzer Kaserne in Stuttgart, Germany, July 17, 2024.

    Under the leadership of the highly skilled scout snipers from 3D Force Recon, the five-day sniper course was conducted, providing individual and team-level training on advanced precision marksmanship. The dynamic training introduced new challenges to the shooters, providing unique opportunities to create stability for a perfect shot from unfamiliar firing positions. The added pressure of competition, fatigue, and height and angle fluctuations provided practical, real-world training for the shooters, enhancing their sniper skills in urban environments through precision fire.
