Washington Guard Snipers Train with Overseas Counterparts

Friday, October 28th, 2022

CAMP MURRAY, Wash. — As the 3rd Battalion, 161st Infantry Regiment arrived in Poland in April 2020 for the start of its NATO Enhanced Forward Presence rotation, Staff Sgt. Chris Smith sought training opportunities for his snipers. Almost a year after returning, those with whom Smith developed a working relationship continue to reach out for training and guidance.

“We were waiting for our vehicles to arrive, so one day I just walked over to the snipers with the British 20th Armoured Brigade Combat Team and said, ‘Hey we speak the same [sniper] language. Let’s get together and start training,’” said Smith. “We hit the ground running and forged some strong relationships.”

As part of the NATO Enhanced Forward Presence, 3rd Battalion, 161st Infantry Regiment Soldiers worked in a multinational, combat-ready force, demonstrating the strength of the transatlantic bond and making clear that an attack on one ally would be considered an attack on the whole alliance.

In early October, Smith received an email from his British counterpart asking for help with a sniper class. The email included an invitation to share knowledge and expertise in the field and participate in shooting concentrations during the multinational course.

“We have been asked to help with developing the circuits and being guest speakers,” said Smith.

National Guard snipers are often some of the best National Guard Soldiers who excel in physical fitness, mental fortitude and intelligence.

Guard snipers train at the National Guard Marksmanship Training Center at Camp Robinson, Arkansas, taught by instructors from the 233rd Regiment Training Institution. Guard members who complete the course receive their sniper identifier and are qualified U.S. Army snipers. They are also eligible to compete in the Winston P. Wilson and Armed Forces Skill at Arms Meeting National Guard Sniper Championship.

Smith, a law enforcement officer in Spokane, joined the Guard after leaving active duty. He left active duty as a captain but decided to pursue the sniper career field in the Guard.

“Not an average experience in the military,” said Smith. “This is more unique, more chances to do cross-training.”

While deployed to Poland, Smith said the highlights of the year included working with snipers from NATO nations and building that team comradery.

“It was truly the highlight of the trip. On deployments, you make of it what you can, and just those experiences were the best part of it,” said Smith. “We worked with snipers from Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Norway, Sweden, Germany so many different countries. It was amazing.”

Thursday, October 27th, 2022

Imminent Threat Solutions is proud to introduce the ITS Lock Pinning Mat. This ultimate workspace tool is purpose built for the locksport enthusiast and offers a dedicated space for disassembling and rebuilding your locks. Made from a durable rubber, each features an anti-slip bottom to ensure your mat and contents stay put.

The four sections of the ITS Lock Pinning Mat provide the opportunity to sort lock contents, as well as change and manipulate components. The Upright Cylinder Channel holds the ITS Modular Lock (available separately as an add-on item) perfectly in an upright configuration and offers enough room to store the ITS Reverse-Grip Pinning Tweezers (available separately as an add-on item.) The Shear Line Check Box features a slight ramp that assists in guiding pins down to the built-in shear line. The opening to the right of the ramp allows keys to lay flat, so pins can be properly lined up with each cut in the key.

The Parts Garage is an open section that’s available to store items you’re actively working on, like security pins you may be swapping in, or small tools you may be using. Lastly, the Pin Stack Columns feature 28 individual Storage Cubbies to house the internal components of a lock separately (Cap, Spring, Driver Pin and Key Pin) so they don’t get mixed up. The columns can accommodate up to 7 full pin-stacks.
