  Avoid the Kill Zone
  6-112. Figure out his kill zone and stay out of it. A unit may also want to eliminate or at least reduce his
  targets. If a unit removes its targets, the unit curtails mission success; the sniper will need to move, or at
  least adjust his position, to remain effective.
  Maneuver Rapidly
  6-113. When contact is made, the on-scene commander needs to rapidly calculate the disposition of his
  forces, the quick reaction force (QRF), and adjacent friendly forces and factor in time/space considerations
  to determine how to neutralize the threat. Because of the fleeting nature of the sniper, it is often preferable
  for the on-scene commander to begin to maneuver against the hostile sniper with an unengaged portion
  of his own force rather than wait for a QRF.
  Consider Sniper Hunting with Another Sniper
  6-114. Throughout history, many units engaged in urban combat often employed direct and indirect
  supporting arms, close air support, or large numbers of ground forces to counter urban snipers. However,
  the Russian and German forces of World War II found that the best solution to a sniper threat was the
  employment of their own snipers in a countersniper role. Advantages to using a trained sniper to counter
  enemy snipers include—
  • The relative ease of movement over the urban battlefield of a sniper team versus that of a larger
  ground formation.
  • Countersnipers who “know the habits and modus operandi” of their enemy counterparts.
  • The ability to deliver “precision fire” and the resulting reduction in collateral damage
  or civilian and friendly casualties.
  Confirm that Enemy Sniper is Neutralized
  6-115. In this context, neutralization means that the sniper is killed or captured. A dead or captured
  enemy sniper, besides ending that threat, can be a valuable source of intelligence.
  COUNTERING DRIVE-BY SHOOTINGS
  6-116. A drive-by shooting is the firing of small arms by an occupant(s) of a vehicle as [the vehicle]
  drives past an area, followed by the vehicle's immediate departure of the area. This is an effective
  technique for an insurgent, because it allows rapid infiltration and exfiltration, requires little logistical
  support, has a chance of success, and has little chance of resulting in a decisive engagement. Any structure
  or location near a roadway is a target for a drive-by shooting. Usual targets for drive-by shootings are
  vulnerable, easily escapable spots. Attackers avoid well-defended locations.
  CONSIDERATIONS
  6-117. Establishing static checkpoints or closing roads near a high threat area often prevents further
  drive-by attacks along a specific avenue of approach. However, the insurgents are not eliminated and they
  will then look for new or different ways to attack. Timely and accurate reporting by subordinate units can
  allow higher headquarters to integrate UAS and rotary wing aircraft to track vehicles after a drive-by
  attack. This will open insurgents up to targeting counterinsurgent forces.
  TECHNIQUES
  6-118. One technique is to conduct mobile checkpoints. If effective, they can disrupt the ability
  of insurgents to transport weapons in vehicles. Random snap checkpoints may encourage drive-by shooters
  to look elsewhere for targets.
