U.S. Marine Corps has Scout Sniper Platoon organized by battalion
The current organization consists of 18 members of one platoon in one battalion, and they were incorporated into the reconnaissance squadron to carry out their duties, and a reconnaissance platoon of 26 members was newly organized in the Marine battalion. That is, the number of people has increased
One of the reasons for this is that the DMR rifle of the general infantry squad can meet the demand for sniping to some extent due to the development of sniping technology, but more importantly, it reflects the trend of modern battlefields where reconnaissance and intelligence collection using drones have become more important
It is also a proof that the U.S. Marine Corps itself said the purpose of this reorganization was to have the ability to obtain battlefield information in real time at any time, regardless of climate, reflecting that trend
The U.S. Marine Corps seems to be pushing ahead with the change, but domestic experts believe that the U.S. is making efforts to build a real-time information network on a large scale, while domestic experts think that drones are only reducing the number of personnel
In fact, if you look at the command center of the U.S. Forces Korea, it is full of routers and servers, and it is said that they spend a lot of money building a computer network. In short, the goal is to be collected and analyzed by battalion as soon as field information is collected without being called by radio
We may not be able to keep up with this trend of the U.S. military, but I think our military needs to actively respond to this trend
