Which symbol modifier corresponds to Sniper?

• A. Sniper symbol modifier
• B. Maritime terminal support symbol modifier
• C. Airborne symbol modifier
• D. Mountain symbol modifier

Answer: (A)

Symbol modifiers specify the specialized capability or role of the asset on the symbol. The modifier that denotes a sniper is the sniper symbol modifier, because it directly communicates that the asset is equipped or designated as a sniper team. The other modifiers point to different specializations or environments—mountain signals a mountain operations role, airborne indicates paratroopers, and maritime terminal support denotes logistics at a port. None of those describe a sniper, so they aren’t the correct choice. In practice, you’d attach the sniper modifier to the infantry symbol to show a sniper element on the map or chart.
