Marksman specialists are there for the GI Joe team when specific Cobra targets need to be acquired and neutralized. Marksmen are the team members who deliver long-range precision fire at selected targets from concealed positions. Recruits in training to be marksman specialists learn fieldcraft techniques and how to gauge distances. They constantly practice their marksmanship skills to perfect their accuracy and hit the target precisely, first round, every time. They also must develop the patience, stamina and discipline to be still for long periods of time, while remaining ready to take advantage of the right moment whenever it presents itself.
