Sniper

2006-07-11T13:05:08Z

Walford: /* Famous Snipers */ wiki link to rifle

A '''sniper''' is an infantryman specially trained in the art of camouflage and long-distance shooting. The sniper trade is very small, and very selective. Only the [[Regular Force]] employs snipers; reserve soldiers do not receive sniper training.

==Qualifications==
In order to be considered for the Sniper Course you need:

* to be employed in the Regular Force as an Infantryman (MOC 031)
* to have successfully completed the [[Recce Patrolman]] Course
* to have been selected by the Reconnaissance Platoon and your [[Chain of Command]]
* to have passed the Pre-Sniper Course

==Course Content==

==Employment==
Upon graduation, about 1/3 of fully trained snipers in the Canadian Army are actually employed in that role.

==History==
[[Image:Marshall.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Sergeant H.A. Marshall of [[The Calgary Highlanders]], photographed in Belgium in September 1944. He carries a No. 4 Mk I*(T) rifle, factory tested for accuracy.]]
The term sniper originated in the British Army in 1824, though the origins of same go back to the 1770s. The verb "snipe" was used by British soldiers in India to refer to shooting from a hidden location - an allusion to hunting the game bird "snipe". Those skilled in this type of shooting became referred to as "snipers" and the term was made an official military term.

Other terms have been used in history, for example "skirmishers" in the American Civil War performed similar duties, deploying individually on the flanks of moving formations.

In the First World War, Canada adopted the practice of using snipers armed with accurate rifles and precision optics to deploy as individuals or in two-man teams to fire at targets of opportunity. In the Second World War, each Canadian infantry battalion had a Scout and Sniper Platoon, where snipers were not just trained marksmen but also scouts who collected information for the battalion's Intelligence Section.

From wikipedia:

:''In the last few decades the term 'sniper' has been used rather loosely, especially by media in association with police precision riflemen, those responsible for assassination, any shooting from all but the shortest range in war, and any criminal equipped with a rifle in a civil context.[citation needed] This has rather expanded the general understanding of the meaning of the term. It has also given the term 'sniper' mixed connotations. Alternative terms are usually more specific, especially for police snipers such as "counter-sniper", "precision marksman", "tactical marksman", "sharpshooter" or "precision shooter", some of which have also been used for a long time.

==Famous Snipers==
*Several notable snipers served in the [[Canadian Expeditionary Force]] including Henry "Ducky" Norwest of the 50th Battalion, CEF who recorded 115 kills in three years of service in the First World War.
*Corporal Rob Furlong of the [[Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry]] made the longest-ever recorded and confirmed sniper kill in history. While serving in Afghanistan during Operation Anaconda in 2002, Furlong shot and killed an opposing combatant soldier from a distance of 2,430 metres (1.5 miles) with a [[McMillan Tac-50]].<sup>1</sup>

A '''Hackle''' is a feather plume attached to the headdress by some units of the Canadian Army in certain circumstances as described below. Hackles are neither "battle honours" nor are they worn as a sign of disgrace, as many urban legends have described. They are also not to be confused with white feathers, which during the First World War were sometimes pinned to the jackets of young men who had not enlisted for military service; the young ladies performing the pinning felt the feather was a suitable mark of cowardice.

==Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) of Canada==
The Black Watch of the British Army adopted a red hackle in 1795. The distinction was not adopted as a "battle honour" as such. Canada's Black Watch in Montreal adopted the red hackle after the First World War.[http://www.theblackwatch.co.uk/newsite/index.html Black Watch website]

==Royal Highland Fusiliers of Canada==
The Royal Highland Fusiliers of the British Army adopted a white hackle in their headdress, which has been adopted by the Royal Highland Fusiliers of Canada.

:''The white hackle has another origin in this regiment, which is an amalgamation of the Royal Scots Fusiliers and the Highland Light Infantry (HLI). The 1st Battalion of the HLI was the first regiment raised in the Highlands of Scotland after the rebellion by the "Clans" of the western Highlands in 1745. They sought to restore a Catholic king to the throne of Great Britain but were defeated. They were not however required to wear the Black Cock feather which their former enemies, the Lowland, Protestant regiments wore. In a gesture of magnanimity, they were allowed to retain the "White Cockade" denoting their distinctive former allegiance.[http://www.mostovionline.com/319/info.htm]

While the whe white hackle was a at one time a standard affectation of grenadiers and fusiliers in the British Army, going out of fashion in the late 1800s, it was restored to the Royal Scots Fusiliers in 1902 to mark distinguished service during the South African War of 1899-1902.[http://www.btinternet.com/~johnhglen/the_military_page.htm]

==Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders of Canada and Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa==

Both Canadian regiments of Camerons adopted the blue hackle after the Second World War, as their namesake unit of the British Army (The Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders) had adopted the blue hackle in 1939. When it was learned the kilt was no longer to be worn in action, the CO of one of the Cameron battalions asked the king for permission to wear a hackle as a distinction; the King suggested royal blue. hackle.[http://www.canadiansoldiers.com/mediawiki-1.5.5/index.php?title=Blue_Hackle]

==The Lorne Scots (Peel, Dufferin and Halton Regiment)==
The Lorne Scots wear a primrose-yellow hackle on their headdress in the fashion of the regiment's affiliated regiment in the UK, the Lancashire Fusiliers for actions during the Boer War. Upon amalgamation in the 1960s into the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers the affiliate regiment in Canada was permitted to continue the tradition.

Basic Military Qualification

2006-06-28T15:06:23Z

Walford: /* See Also */

{{stub}}
'''Basic Military Qualfication''' (BMQ) refers to the course all recruits to the Canadian Forces must complete. Once a soldier has passed the course, he is considered "BMQ Qualified".

==Training==
BMQ (Basic Military Qualification)
20 Training Days

This is basic military training, and is the first course the new recruit will be required to complete. Very basic knowledge is presented here; basic military drill and courtesy, military law, physical training (PT), weapons handling with the C7A1 Service Rifle, navigation, first aid, basic fieldcraft, and the essentials of living as a soldier in garrison and in the field.

Once BMQ is complete, the soldier will then be required to take the [[Soldier Qualification]] course.

==Failing==

Training failures are the result of either a [[Voluntary Release]], or for repeatedly failing either written or practical tests of the [[Performance Objectives]]. Each candidate who is not performing to standard progresses through a warning system giving them very clear updates on their lack of progress or specific deficiencies, guidance for improvement, extra instruction where applicable, and a minimum of 24 hours between retests.

Walford:

The Soldier Qualification course is mandatory after the completion of [[Basic Military Qualification]].

==Training (Reserves) ==
This course is approximately 20 Training Days

This course completes the basic military training, including basic familiarity with the other weapons in an infantry platoon such as the C6 and C9 machineguns, the M72 rocket launcher, and the fragmentation hand grenade, as well as advanced field training, military law and general military knowledge.

After SQ is complete, the soldier then is required to qualify in their chosen [[trade]].

Career Progression - [[Non Commissioned Members]]

Two commonly asked questions by both prospective recruits, and serving soldiers alike, are

*How do I get promoted?
*How do I qualify for a raise in pay?

==Pay==
Bear in mind that raises in pay are based on two things - current qualification, as represented by the soldier's rank, and the number of years of service. Each rank has up to five pay incentive categories, meaning that a newly promoted Corporal will make less money than a Corporal with three years of experience. Each progression in rank increases the basic pay level as well.

The pay levels of the junior ranks are as follows, effective 1 April 2005. Note that new recruits start at Pay Incentive 1. In the Reserves, you are not paid an hourly wage; you receive either a half day's pay (typically for a morning, afternoon, or evening session of training) or a full day's pay.

==Promotions==
The system by which soldiers in the Canadian Army are promoted has changed many times, and as of 2004, has changed once again. Career development is now divided into Development Periods. The basic outline for [[Non Commissioned Members]] is sketched out below. The purpose of military training, aside from the benefits to the individual, is to transform a Canadian citizen into a military professional, or as the Army philosophy would say, to "impart and integrate knowledge and skills unique to the leadership and management of armed forces in war and peace."

===Development Period 1===
During Development Period 1, the newly recruited soldier is trained up to the point where they have qualified in their trade.

*BMQ ([[Basic Military Qualification]])
**20 Training Days

This is basic military training, and is the first course the new recruit will be required to complete. Very basic knowledge is presented here; basic military drill and courtesy, military law, physical training (PT), weapons handling with the C7A1 Service Rifle, navigation, first aid, basic fieldcraft, and the essentials of living as a soldier in garrison and in the field.

Once BMQ is complete, the soldier will then be required to take:

*SQ ([[Soldier Qualification]])
**20 Training Days

This course completes the basic military training, including basic familiarity with the other weapons in an infantry platoon such as the C6 and C9 machineguns, the M72 rocket launcher, and the fragmentation hand grenade, as well as advanced field training, military law and general military knowledge.

After SQ is complete, the soldier then is required to qualify in their chosen trade. We will use Infantry in the following examples.

*BIQ (Basic Infantry Qualification)
**20-24 Training Days

This is training unique to the soldier's [[MOSID]]. Here the soldier will learn to operate as a full member of the eight-man infantry section and will qualify in a variety of weapons as well as learning much about small unit tactics and procedures.

Once a soldier has qualified BIQ (ie completed the course), they will be promoted to Private (Trained) and be entitled to wear one rank chevron on the uniform.

===Development Period 2===

At this stage, the soldier will no longer be part of a training unit and will be assigned permanently as a rifleman in one of the rifle platoons of the Regiment. From this point on, they will train with their new platoon, and for career development courses will be taken away from the unit temporarily to attend these courses. Courses will form only one component of a soldier's career; their training and experience with the Regiment will be essential in their development as a soldier and leader.

The goals and missions of the Regiment will also define how the individual soldier is employed. The Regiment is judged annually on how well it performs its tasks of training both individuals and units. On an individual basis, such things as regular range qualification with the service rifle and "Warrior" training (demonstrating basic working knowledge of all weapons in a platoon, navigation, first aid, mine awareness, NBC defence, and physical fitness standards) will be assessed. The Regiment is also assessed on unit exercises and the individual, as part of the team, will help decide whether the Regiment meets or fails the goals set out for it at the start of the training year.

====DP2A (Platoon Support Weapons)====
This course is required for promotion to Corporal in the Infantry, and instructs the candidate in the various weapons used at the platoon level. In BIQ the soldier learned how to operate as part of the 8-man infantry section. A platoon is a grouping of three such sections, with a Weapons Detachment consisting of 60mm Mortar, C6 General Purpose Machine Gun, and 84mm Carl Gustav anti-armour weapon.

Once a soldier has qualified DP2A, they are eligible to be promoted to Corporal, given sufficient Time in Rank, meaning they have served as a Private for at least one year, as well as having the recommendation of their superiors.

A Corporal in the Canadian Forces is considered a Non-Commissioned Officer, meaning they may be given minor leadership taskings. But the Corporal is not yet considered a leader and must undergo specific training to develop their leadership skills.

The qualified Corporal may also now find themself with duties outside that of rifleman in an infantry section, especially if other courses are taken while awaiting their leadership training. These courses take place outside the Development Period cycle, for example, the driver's course, Basic Communicators course, reconnaissance patrolman course, etc. Soldiers qualifying in these courses may find themselves employed in a company Reconnaissance Detachment (Recce Det), as a signaller (radioman), driver, heavy weapons gunner in the platoon Weapons Detachment, as well as other opportunities such as Combat Storesman working for the Company Quartermaster Sergeant.

With regards to Career Progression, the soldier now has a choice of two courses, both of which may be completed, but either one may be completed first.

====DP2B (Section 2 i/c) ====
This course will qualify the soldier to be Second in Command (2 i/c) of an eight-man infantry section, and is specific to the Infantry trade.

====PLQ (Primary Leadership Qualification)====
This course teaches basic essentials of leadership, both in the classroom and in the field and is common to all trades. The candidate will learn how to give basic drill, oversee small leadership taskings, and prepare and give lectures.

Once a soldier has DP2B and PLQ, they are eligible to be appointed Master Corporal, given sufficient Time in Rank, as well as having the recommendation of their superiors. The trained Master Corporal is now prepared to be employed as the second in command of an infantry section, gaining experience with the unit in garrison and the field as he prepares for the next phase of his career development. As a Master Corporal, the soldier will find themself faced with leadership taskings and will be responsible no longer for just their own actions, but those of their subordinates as well.

==Development Period 3==

===DP3A (Infantry Section Commander Qualfication (ISCQ))===
This course is required for promotion to Sergeant in the Infantry, the prescribed rank for a section commander. A Sergeant is considered a Senior Non-Commissioned Officer. Up until this point, the soldier has belonged to the Junior Ranks Club - the social institution at the Armoury defined by the soldier's status as a private or junior NCO. Upon promotion to Sergeant, the Senior NCO then becomes a member of the Sergeants' and Warrant Officers' Mess, where there will be higher expectations placed on them with regards to social commitments within the Regiment. In their role as a Sergeant, the NCO will be burdened with great responsibility as well as administrative demands. The Sergeant may find themself tasked outside the rifle platoon, such as with the Regimental Clothing Stores, Transport Section, etc.

Once a soldier has qualified DP3A, they are eligible to be promoted to Sergeant, given sufficient Time in Rank and the recommendation of their superiors.

After qualifying DP3A, the NCO once again has a choice of two courses, both of which may be completed, but either one may be completed first.

===DP3B (Infantry Platoon 2 i/c Qualification (IP2ICQ))===
[[Image:Feet.jpg|right|thumb|350px|The responsibilities of a senior NCM are many and varied; WO Dave Turnbull carries out the time-honoured task of inspecting the feet of new recruits.]]
This course will qualify the soldier to be Second in Command (2 i/c) of a 30+ man infantry platoon, and is specific to the Infantry trade. The Platoon 2 i/c not only must be able to lead a section and platoon in battle, but be able to administer the platoon as well. This course teaches advanced techniques for leadership and instruction.

===ILQ (Intermediate Leadership Qualification)===
Once a soldier has qualfied IP2ICQ and ILQ, they are eligible to be promoted to Warrant Officer, given sufficient Time in Rank, as well as having the recommendation of their superiors.

Warrant Officer is the rank at which the NCO is expected to be able to oversee those not only in their own trade, but soldiers of all trades within the regiment. The warrant officer will likely find themself moving between roles within the unit, filling such appointments as Transport NCO, Company Quartermaster Sergeant, and Platoon Second-in-Command, as he or she is groomed for higher rank and appointments, including appointment as Company Sergeant Major (for which the rank of Master Warrant Officer is held), the appointment of Quarter Master Senior Instructor, and finally, appointment as Regimental Sergeant Major and promotion to Chief Warrant Officer.

Once an NCO has served as RSM of the Regiment, they have several options; some have opted to commission directly into the officer ranks (usually in the rank of Captain, recognizing the long service and experience of the former RSM), others have gone on to higher appointments as Chief Warrant Officers, such as Brigade RSM.

==History of 33 FES==
From [http://www.33fes.org/records/ 33 FES Unofficial Website]:

:''Both 8th Field Engineer Regiment (Edmonton) and 33 Field Engineer Squadron in Calgary trace their lineages to 9th Army Troops Company (Engineers) recruited in the Edmonton area for service during World War I. At the end of the war, the company was placed on Supplementary Order of Battle.

:''In 1937, 9th Army Troops Company was re-activated in Edmonton as the Engineer component of 13 Military District and was mobilized in September of 1939 and served for most of World War II as a company of 1st Battalion Army Troops (RCE) - a construction unit. In March 1944, 1st Army Troops, including 9th Army Troops Company, was assigned to 1st Canadian Army as Field Engineers and prior to war's end in May 1945 9th Army Troops Company was redesignated 33 Field Squadron (RCE). This unit was demobilized at the end of the war.

:''In 1948 the Engineer Militia was re-formed in Edmonton as part of the new 8th Field Regiment (RCE) (M). By 1953, the Regiment included a Headquarters and 25 Field Squadron in Edmonton, 13 Field Squadron Yellowknife. Re-organizations and cuts made their marks. Currently, 8th Field Engineer Regiment consists of a headquarters and 25 Field Squadron in Edmonton. 33rd Field Squadron now located in Calgary became an independent Squadron in 1991.

1 CER is the [[Combat Engineer]] unit supporting 1 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group ([[1 CMBG]]) in Western Canada.

== Origins of 1 Combat Engineer Regiment ==

In response to the demands of both NATO commitments in Europe and UN Operations in Korea, the Canadian Forces (CF) stood up both 58th and 59th Independent Field Squadrons respectively on May 4th 1951. As the Combat Engineer element of 27th Canadian Infantry Brigade Group, 58th Independent Field Squadron was based out of Hameln Germany. After serving two years in Germany, the unit moved to CFB Chilliwack in Vedder Crossing, B.C. in Dec 1953. With the authorized formation of 1st Canadian Division, in 1953, the 58th was redesignated as the 3rd Field Squadron of the 1st Field Engineer Regiment on 16th Oct 1953. Less than 5 months later it deployed to Korea and returned to Canada in 1955 to make its home at Work Point Barracks in Esquimalt.

In 1957 the Squadron moved from Esquimalt to Chilliwack, B.C. In the period of 1957-58, 1 Field Engineer Regiment was disbanded with the dissolution of 1 Can Infantry Division and on 30th Apr 1958, 3rd Field Squadron became an independent Field Squadron and renamed 3 Field Squadron. It was allocated to 1 Canadian Infantry Brigade Group based in Calgary.

Ever keen to develop its capabilities, engineer squadrons began experimenting with Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCUBA) in the 1960’s to conduct reconnaissance of bridge launching sites and recover lost equipment. Once the dive requirement was confirmed for the Army, it was decided that the skills be concentrated in the field engineer trade not only due to their requisite tech skills and tactical training but because the majority of foreseen tasks were engineer-oriented with the exception of recce. During the early 1970’s, army diving developed from experimental testing into an operational capability.

With the introduction of integration and unification of the three separate services in the late 1960’s, 3 Fd Sqn began receiving officers and men from air and sea elements, and in 1971 the Military Engineering family consisting of field engineers, construction engineers, survey engineers and firefighters were formally recognized as the Military Engineering (MILE) branch of the Canadian Forces. In 1975, 3 Field Squadron was redesignated as 3 Field Engineer Squadron and in 1977 to 1 Combat Engineer Regiment. In 1996, 1 CER moved from Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Chilliwack to CFB Edmonton to its new home in the Patton Building. [http://www.army.gc.ca/1combat_engineers/HISTORYPAGE.htm]

1 CER completed its reorganization in June 2005. The Regiment is now organized into a Regimental Headquarters element and five subunits including four Field Squadrons and an Administration Squadron.

The Canadian Military Engineers is the name given to the Engineering Branch of the Canadian Forces. The CME includes [[Combat Engineer|Combat Engineers]], [[Construction Engineers]], [[Fire Fighters]], and [[Mapping & Charting]] Engineers.

==Role==
''The mission of the Canadian Military Engineers is to contribute to the survival, mobility, and combat effectiveness of the Canadian Forces. Roles are to conduct combat operations, support the Canadian Forces in war and peace, support national development, provide assistance to civil authorities, and support international aid programs. Engineers serve wherever the need arises, proud of the motto Ubique (Everywhere). Few other organizations, civilian or military, can claim to have contributed as much to the defence and development of this nation as have the Canadian Military Engineers.'' (CF publication A-JS-007-003/JD-001 "Customs and Traditions of the CME")

== History of the CME ==
In the most modern sense Canada first had its own military engineers from 1903 and the creation of the Canadian Engineer Corps. Several name changes occurred in the 20th Century, and the Canadian Military Engineers (CME) were so designated in 1967 during the process of [[Unification]] of the three armed services in Canada into an integrated military, which became official on 1 February 1968. In the most modern sense Canada first had its own military engineers from 1903 and the creation of the Canadian Engineer Corps. Canadian military engineers actually date back to before Confederation, and so the Branch Birthday is celebrated on the anniversary of the uniting of both the regular engineers and the Militia engineers under the same title and cap badge in 1936.

Engineers perform a variety of both construction and destruction tasks on the modern battlefield; in the most modern sense Canada first had its own military engineers from 1903 and the creation of the Canadian Engineer Corps. Several name changes occurred in the 20th Century, and the [[Canadian Military Engineers]] were so designated in 1967 following Unification of the three armed services in Canada into an integrated military.

==== Primary Role of the Engineers ====

To permit friendly forces to live, move and fight on the field of battle and to deny the same to the enemy.

==== Secondary Role of the Engineers ====

To fight as infantry when required.

==Canadian Forces School of Military Engineering (CFSME)==

Located at Canadian Forces Base Gagetown, NB. Aside from being the principal training establishment of the Canadian Military Engineers, it is the heart and soul of the Branch.

CFSME is organized with a Headquarters, and five squadrons *(DOC, STDS , FETS, CETS and RETS), plus Tactics and CAES. In the summer months, RETS is formed to conduct training for Reserve Force Personnel.

*[[HQ - Headquarters]]
*[[DOC - Doctrine Squadron]]
*[[STDS - Standards Squadron]]
*[[FETS - Field Engineer Training Squadron]]
*[[CETS - Construction Engineering Training Squadron]]
*[[RETS - Reserve Engineer Training Squadron]]
*[[TAC - Tactics]]
*[[CAES - Construction and Airfield Engineering Squadron]]

CFSME is responsible for more than 75 courses and the total number of course serials vary between 75 and 100 per year. These courses range from the trades’ courses required for Combat and Construction Engineering, Officer Training and specialty training for the CME Branch, as well as other Branches. Over 1000 military and civilian employees of the Federal Government annually benefit from attending the challenging training provided by this school whose unofficial motto is "Excellence In Military Engineering".
