As I said in my last blog, news and photos on the 1st Squadron, 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment came pouring out yesterday. Nice to see the 2nd SCR getting the attention they deserve as they work in a very hostile, complex urban environment.Sniper...what thoughts come to mind when you see that word? Ever wonder why they are called a sniper? What is the role of a sniper? If interested, click on the word for some background...and for those who want more info...visit Snipers Paradise. So, did you know?
Here is a quick peek at a sniper team from the 1st Squadron, 2nd SCR and their role in providing security for officials visiting a water treatment plant in Baghdad's Sadr City neighborhood. I would not want to be in the crosshairs of any of the snipers from the 2nd SCR.

David Dickson, a sniper team leader with 1st Squadron, 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment as he takes aim at a suspiciously moving vehicle several blocks away while providing security for officials visiting a water treatment plant in Baghdad's Sadr City neighborhood.
