Current service use not established
This code is listed in the directory. Inclusion alone does not confirm current service use.
Overview
The Sniper designation identifies Army positions that require Soldiers qualified as snipers. It specifies sniper qualification as a requirement of the position.
Notes & Sources
- B4 (Sniper) is an Army Additional Skill Identifier (proponent: U.S. Army Infantry School), not a standalone military occupation.
- Authority scope: "Identifies positions requiring Soldiers qualified as snipers." Award requirement: "Must successfully complete the Sniper Course, conducted under the auspices of the United States Army Infantry School (USAIS)." Restrictions: "For use with MOS 11B only." The identifier alone does not establish a civilian occupation; occupation-specific skills and career guidance depend on the holder's primary MOS and actual duties.
