A U.S. Marine instructor guides a student sniper using a Remington Model 700 rifle from which the U.S. Marines M40A1 sniper rifle was developed.

Apart from marksmanship, students are also taught stalking, which means approaching an observation post (OP) undetected. The aim is for the student to get themselves into a good shooting position at the OP without being observed and to have their rifle adjusted for the shot. Other parts of the course cover camouflage and concealment, movement, observation and field sketches and weapons. Successful students can elect to specialize in other areas, such as urban sniping, mountain sniping and team leading or to carry on with a course at a foreign sniper school, such as the British Royal Marines sniping school or the Israeli Foreign Forces Snipers School.

The role of the trained scout/sniper is to provide accurate fire in support of combat operations; to establish hides from which to operate as a sniper and an observer; and to be able to use all necessary tools, whether weapons, navigational equipment or radios, in pursuit of these tasks.
