the hunting ground Ramadi Iraq 2005 when we first rolled into Ramadi the IUD rate was approximately 95 to 100 IEDs a week our our mission was to just find people in placing IEDs and to take them out GIS fighting in Iraq have a motto be polite be professional and have a plan to kill everyone you meet if we are looking at you and you have deemed yourself a bad guy we're gonna be there to kill you the sniper first sergeant james gilliland longest kill shot with a 7-6 2 caliber rifle seven tenths of a mile once the individual takes that step and crosses in lon then he comes into our world he comes a target Gilliland and shadow team a 10 man Army sniper unit watch insurgent activity from Heinz throughout the city they rack up 276 kills in six months one of the biggest techniques that we use to find where our next targets we're going to be it's directly related to deer hunting turkey hunting which observe an area just like a lot of hunters doing preseason take mental pictures of what you're seeing what you can and can't see from what angles you start learning the players just like 800 would learn you know what animals are in his hunting area watch everything and you just kind of remember in your head we knew pretty much everyone in the town and then for some reason a lot of one would wear masks which was a big giveaway I don't know why they would even do that yeah you see a guy in a ski mask in Iraq it's that's a bad guy shadow team sets up its main hide on the rooftop of the opie hotel overlooking route Michigan the major roadway through Vermont it was the tallest building in the city so obviously we had 360-degree observation we were pretty much on the roof in a what we call a crow's nest Gilliland preaches two things to his team multiple weapon engagements and body shots aka center mass holds basically center mass is just under the breastplate it would not only give you a larger target service to hit but also it can be used as a desensitizing in a way that you're not looking at the individual instead of picking out a facial feature to engage you were picking out a shirt button in the sniper game everybody wants to think that they had shot it's the way to go I wanted to get away from that especially in that environment there were multiple targets regularly and if you wasted the time to take two well aimed headshots you could have taken five body shots and then come back and either captured or re-engage and kill the enemy we were probably engaging up to three or four targets a day sometimes more we moved them back further and further into a point where they wouldn't do anything within 800 meters of us because they were scared of us we heard many times nas was Iraqi force nigh / and we adhere over the intercoms of the mosque and stuff blah blah blah can ask and ask and ask constantly I think it was always just warning people that we're out there which helped us because honestly fear is a big factor over six months shadow team clears their sector IEDs but the real danger will come from the rooftops we were over watching one of the line companies that were doing cordon search in the industrial area yes to the north side of the Opio tail a common practice for a lot of units to get the best observation they can get they would go to the rooftops of buildings and when you do that you scowl on yourself just like you can see a single tree on a mountain if it sticks up above the mountain and that's essentially what these guys were doing they were making targets in themselves I call down I was like hey you tell Jason and he's to get down and you know lo and behold a few minutes go by and he'd be standing up again with a couple of other guys I call back down there's a cake you know you can feel Jason he's get back down everybody can see him if I can see where I'm at everybody else can see him when I saw this going on for the third time I picked the radio up right as I was gonna go to takea to tell them like hey you need to get those guys down one more time right before I push the talk button is when I saw him jerk and he fell we're providing overwatch and then you hear over the radio man down someone just got shot by an enemy sniper so we are just glued to the scopes looking everywhere trying to find the sniper so we start looking at the hospital and start going saw the sniper in the window on one of the top floors I noticed on the fourth floor there's a single individual standing in a bay window I could clearly make out a longer barrel collision the cough type rifle we knew that from our building to that hospital was twelve hundred fifty meters or seven tenths of a mile from our observation post the rifle I had in front of me was a standard issued in 24 siper rifle the enemy snipers 1367 yards away the distance of 13 and a half football fields nearly 500 yards beyond the maximum effective range of Gilliland's m24 the perfect intent was not to make a one-round clean shot it was to add that distance suppress the target in 24 has a loophole in three alpha scope that's that fixed in power with mil-dots and a bullet drop compensator you correlate the number to the amount of hundreds of yards that you're going to shoot I turn a turret to ten to shoot for a thousand yards a quick calculation estimated the bullet drop decided that I needed to hold about three mils over the target to compensate for the drop at 1367 yards each mil dot represents four feet the great distance in severe drop the bullet due to gravity and drag means Gilliland must aim 12 feet above the target and also in doing that had to allow for the wind which will push around as well as spindrift as the round is flying through the air and spinning the force that is caused by the actual spin will cause it to rotate up and away from the centerline of the board much like a top it would eventually start moving in the direction of the spin it's the same way for the for the actual bullet it's measured and it's pretty constant so you can use a formula to account for that Gilliland aims or holds off eight feet left of the target to compensate for a light wind and spindrift this compensation is known as Kentucky windage the crosshairs were completely off target whatsapp was comfortable with where my site was a squeeze around off I noticed the target grimace and then he fell back and didn't see him come back up again after the guy went down I turn around looked my spotter s did you see that the report came back there was a single individual male on the fourth floor balcony with a single gunshot wound to the center of the chest the angle was pretty pretty severe so the bullet actually entered at one part and stopped somewhere inside the individuals body there's so many factors to a shot like that in over a distance like that it had to fall just perfect it was one a million shot Gila lads kill shot it's seven tenths of a mile with his m24 sniper rifle rewrites the record books four seven six two caliber rifles in all honestly I wasn't trying to necessarily engage the individual as much as I was trying to get around close enough to him to get him out of the window I wanted to stop him from engaging you know our guys um but you got what he got
