What is it?

Sniper Observer Employment: .50 BMG I

The Sniper Observer/Employment: .50 BMG I focuses on employment techniques based around the .50 BMG Cartridge and its respective platforms.  Experience has taught us that the .50 BMG can be an extreme force multiplier, increasing the unit's capabilities and enhancing the commander's overall intent for the operation.  This course is taught from the ground up, based solely on the .50 BMG cartridge/rifle platform combination and focuses on the implementation in some of the most austere environments.

Sniper Observer Employment: .50 BMG II

The Sniper Observer/Employment: .50 BMG II focuses solely on the advanced employment techniques based around the .50 BMG cartridge/rifle platform.  This 5 day course incorporates Long Range Data Gathering, Scenario Based Employment Lanes, High Angle Engagements, and a 24 Hour Mission.  Our NRAWC Courses utilize reactive targets and role players to enhance the training outcome of the unit. 

All private unit course material is tailored to the individual unit training outcome.  The NRAWC training area is closed to public/recreational shooters with no photography allowed during the courses.  Every unit can train with relative privacy with little constraint put upon them.
