Official date the USAMU opened the US Army's modern Sniper School.

Was it around 1986-'87?

From what I was told by Rangers and SF that came through my classes in '85-'86,
the USAMU had various marksmanship programs but no Sniper corriculum at all.  

And, that the Instuctor billets would be appointed by the USAMU from recent @ 24
months of graduates from Quantico and Division Schools.

Thanks for any particulars and corrections.

"The US Army Sniper School was established in 1987, at the Infantry Center at Fort Benning, GA..."

Thank you, psdavi01.


Would/could someone explain to me how an Army Commissioned Officer
could have gone through USAMU Sniper School in OCT,1978?

Only thing I can see is that maybe they transposed the last two digits....78.....87.
