They are abandoning the position of Scout SniperHow are they going to use them at all, once the last trained ones have aged out?
Doesn’t mean they will not have Snipers

Drones only fire missles which make a much bigger mess and have a significantly more involved kill chain because of it. Also people can see drones.Why do we need snipers when we have drones?
We know life is cheap in many areas of the planet. Here we still pay off people for questionable, murder and accidental deaths to relatives whether right or wrong. It seems it cheap for American soldiers and officials as we have seen over the years with callous political leadership.Drones only fire missles which make a much bigger mess and have a significantly more involved kill chain because of it.

The Marine Corps is retooling the force to get back to its primary mission set. Scout snipers didn’t make the cut.Like it or not it seems that Seals pretty much work under the direction of CIA while the Marine Corps is an independent branch of the Military. Something ain't right if Seals still crank out scout snipers while the Marines quit the program.
Carlos Hathcock would beg to differ if he could. Something ain't right when Seals who are trained to navigate rubber boats end up sniping from a building in the desert.The Marine Corps is retooling the force to get back to its primary mission set. Scout snipers didn’t make the cut.

Does anybody who has ever served in the Military think that snipers aren't (weren't) included in the mission of the Marine Corps? Maybe the USMC closed down the Camp Geiger training base and snipers are trained on some Army center or maybe the CIA decided that only rubber boat Seals would be trained as snipers.Thanks for illustrating that you dont know the core mission set of the Marine Corps.
Hmmm let’s see my 23 years in the Marine Corps, my wife’s 20’and my brother’s 23 gives me a little insight to what the core mission set might be.Does anybody who has ever served in the Military think that snipers aren't (weren't) included in the mission of the Marine Corps?

Oh and I’m pretty sure the CMC knows more than you regarding the mission of the Marine Corps. So there’s that.Does anybody who has ever served in the Military think that snipers aren't (weren't) included in the mission of the Marine Corps?

A little fact that seems to be evading many of the people in this thread.They are abandoning the position of Scout Sniper

Scout Sniper was a position unique to the Marine Corps. Other countries do not have it, the Army doesn’t use it. Doesn’t mean they will stop having Snipers, just that they won’t combine the roles of Scout with that of a SniperDoes anybody who has ever served in the Military think that snipers aren't (weren't) included in the mission of the Marine Corps?

Probably a change in tactics where they don’t rely on sniper platoons
The Marine Corps is retooling the force to get back to its primary mission set. Scout snipers didn’t make the cut.
nopeThat is not what they are though.
Tell me, do you even have a clue of what platoon they are in? Or what Company?
You don't know the Marine Corps primary mission and you're on here criticizing how the CMC is shaping the force? FOHWhich is what, exactly?
In the last several years I have watched them remove the automatic weapon from the Rifle Squad, and the Tanks completely.
And what is it about their mission that does not need scouts?
Please inform us, what is that mission? Because the job of a Scout-Sniper is a hell of a lot more than just being a sniper.
From what I read, it does not mean the Marines are getting rid of scouts or getting rid of snipers. They just won’t have separate Scout Sniper Platoons.Which is what, exactly?

The Army doesn't use them and no other nation deploys that way.
