00:05.679 --> 00:07.800
Every competition is another

00:07.800 --> 00:09.967
opportunity to sharpen the skills that

00:09.967 --> 00:12.920
matter most . At the NRL hunter match

00:12.920 --> 00:15.159
in Clinton , South Carolina , soldiers

00:15.159 --> 00:17.180
from the US Army marksmanship units

00:17.600 --> 00:19.378
service rifle team tested their

00:19.378 --> 00:21.879
precision , communication , and problem

00:21.879 --> 00:23.935
solving against some of the nation's

00:23.935 --> 00:26.440
top competitors . So you'll be on the

00:26.440 --> 00:28.440
clock whether you're shooting as an

00:28.440 --> 00:30.718
individual or a team . You're going to ,

00:30.718 --> 00:33.200
uh , approach a stage totally blind ,

00:33.279 --> 00:35.335
never having seen it before . You're

00:35.335 --> 00:37.557
gonna have to find your targets , range

00:37.557 --> 00:39.612
your targets , and then you're gonna

00:39.612 --> 00:41.446
have to essentially diagnose . a

00:41.446 --> 00:43.501
problem that you have and figure out

00:43.501 --> 00:45.612
how you're gonna solve it . So you're

00:45.612 --> 00:44.944
gonna have to figure out how you're

00:44.944 --> 00:47.055
gonna shoot off of the props that are

00:47.055 --> 00:49.222
there , whether it's a hay bale , um ,

00:49.222 --> 00:51.166
some barrel or something you gotta

00:51.166 --> 00:53.000
shoot off , and then engage your

00:53.000 --> 00:55.111
targets all on a time limit . Success

00:55.111 --> 00:57.222
isn't just about marksmanship . Every

00:57.222 --> 00:59.055
stage demands trust , clear

00:59.055 --> 01:01.055
communication , and quick decisions

01:01.055 --> 01:03.185
between teammates . Those same skills

01:03.185 --> 01:05.769
extend far beyond competition . The

01:05.769 --> 01:07.825
experience gained on the firing line

01:07.825 --> 01:10.047
helps prepare soldiers across the force

01:10.047 --> 01:12.380
for real world challenges . So the idea ,

01:12.380 --> 01:14.491
uh , for the NRL competition stuff is

01:14.491 --> 01:16.491
for the USAMU service rifle team to

01:16.491 --> 01:19.209
compete , uh , as teams so that we can

01:19.209 --> 01:21.910
then further take our , uh , experience

01:22.089 --> 01:24.033
to sniper teams throughout . Force

01:24.033 --> 01:26.930
whether it's with the USOCOM or um you

01:26.930 --> 01:29.449
know average reciprocal force com and

01:29.449 --> 01:31.449
learning how to communicate to your

01:31.449 --> 01:33.671
partners so that we can talk each other

01:33.671 --> 01:35.838
onto targets to eliminate threats . By

01:35.838 --> 01:37.949
the end of the match , Staff Sergeant

01:37.949 --> 01:39.949
Jared Desrosier and Sergeant Dustin

01:39.949 --> 01:42.060
Carr earned a 2nd place finish . More

01:42.060 --> 01:43.893
importantly , they returned with

01:43.893 --> 01:46.005
lessons in precision , teamwork , and

01:46.005 --> 01:47.838
communication that will continue

01:47.838 --> 01:49.949
strengthening the soldiers they train

01:49.949 --> 01:49.730
across the army .
