Lieutenant General Cheng-Chen-Hsiang, Commander of Military Police Command, visited the Northern Joint Examination and Assessment Center of the Army Corps Training Department yesterday to inspect the training of the specialized sniper team. In addition to presenting them with group souvenirs, he also acknowledged their dedication to training. He also urged the officers and soldiers to bring the results of their training into full play and demonstrate their precision sniping ability to strive for honors for their units and themselves.
Commander Cheng pointed out that snipers should be able to make good use of the terrain in towns and cities to shoot at key enemy targets in order to suppress the enemy effectively. A good sniper should be mentally tough and not be affected by the battlefield environment. He encouraged the trainees to seize every training opportunity to continuously improve their shooting skills, and to adjust the training content through post-training discussions and analysis to achieve the expected training objectives and thus effectively utilize their key combat capabilities.
Lastly, Commander Cheng reminded that the recent hot and unpredictable climate brings about heightened risk of heat injury, and that officers and soldiers should always stay hydrated during training to ensure personnel’s health and safety. In addition, he asked the cadres leading the team to give priority to safety and discipline in practical shooting training, to use methods to enhance the effectiveness of training, and to make good use of the organizational power to understand the activities of their members inside and outside the camp, and to appropriately care for their emotions, thus eliminating the potential factors that could cause safety hazards, and maintaining the overall combat effectiveness of the troops.
