Viet Cong Snipers Deadliest
Problem Facing U.S. Forces
Viet Cong snipers have be
come one of the deadliest
problems confronting the U.
S. forces in Viet Nam. This
type of enemy, as veterans
of World War II will attest,
can be expertly concealed
almost anywhere. An exam
pel of their ability and what
the U. S. Marines are doing
to combat them follows.
For several mornings in a
row two Viet Cong had been
appearing on the crest of a
hill, approximately 700 ytrds
in front of the Marine line*
at Phu Eai.
The VC knew that they
were out of the 500-yard ef
fective range of the Marine’s
M-14 rifles. From their ob
servation point they could
direct mortar fire in on
Marine positions.
If, on the other hand, the
Marines called in their own
mortars, the enemy would
duck out of sight.

in existence little mpre than
a month, and is starting on
its third class of students.

Eventually It is. hoped that
20 snipers can be assigned
to each regiment, and 12
with the reconnaissance
battalion.
Sniper School graduates
will operate, for the most
part, 300 yards in front of
Marine units in combat zon
es. With the rifle’s 1,000-
yard killing capability, this
keeps the VC wary and at a
respectable 1,300 yards in
fiont of Marine .-lines.
Stated one of the non
commissioned officers at the
school, ‘ This is one of the
best steps that the Marine
Corps has made.” He is one
of the snipers who killed the
two VC at Phu Bal.
Size of Fuses
NEW YORK-Never use a
bigger fuse than the electrical
system in your home calls for,
the Insurance Information In
stitute warns. The proper size
provides a safety valve that
" breaks the circuit before an
overload can start a fire.
