Add to Lightbox DownloadJun 5, 2017 - Hohenfels, Bayern, Germany - A visit to a local cafe is a boost for the human spirit, whether lured in by the ambiance, maybe to enjoy the camaraderie of friends, or enticed by savory smells and craving a bite to eat from the kitchen. It's a familiar, busy space where communal goals are simple, satisfaction is expected and needs are easily met. The comforting, busy environment serves as a perfect cloak for a two-man sniper team hidden in a bar service kitchen, strategically in line with targets in a neighboring building. A hand-woven lace curtain barely moves as the target is neutralized. Building hidden sites is one of the many skills sniper teams practiced during the 11-day International Special Training Center's Urban Sniper Course at the Joint Multinational Readiness Center's training area here. Enabled by Special Operations Command Europe, and supported by JMRC's Wolverine Special Operations Forces Observer Coach/Trainer Team, 12 sniper teams from multiple NATO special operations forces participated in the course May 19-30. The course instructors were assigned to the 7th Army Training Command.
