sniper teams
Long-range marksman pairs
A sniper team is a small military or law enforcement unit—typically two people—consisting of a sniper and a spotter.
The spotter identifies targets, calculates distance and wind, and provides security while the sniper takes the shot.
Sniper teams were positioned on rooftops around the venue.
The pairing allows sustained accuracy over long operations.
