Designated Marksman

MOS 8541, Designated Marksman

The Designated Marksman (DM) is a military role in a U.S. infantry squad. (The analogous role in the Israeli army is accurately descriptively named "squad sniper." Soviet doctrine uses the Dragunov rifle in this way.) The designated marksman's role is to supply rapid accurate fire on enemy targets at ranges up to 500 meters with a telescopic-sighted, very-accurate, semiautomatic rifle. Like snipers, DMs are trained in precision shooting, but are also capable of rapid accurate fire.
