Marksmanship Roles

The designated marksman (DM) is a marksman role in an infantry squad. The role of a DM is to provide support in engagements outside of the typical 300-600m effective range of a infantry squad filling a range gap between a regular infantryman and a dedicated sniper. DMRs are developed with the mindset to fulfil this middle ground in tactical role. The DM uses a designated marksman rifle (DMR) a scoped high-precision semi-automatic weapon system. The important distinction between a Designated Marksman and a true sniper is that the DM is attached to a squad and operates with it, to support the squad, whereas a sniper team operates independently and is a platoon-level asset (or higher), under the direct command of the Platoon Commander. The DM typically engages at medium to long ranges (ie - 300-700m), whereas the sniper team can operate out to ranges in excess of one kilometer.
