How such a cool military video landed on the official Business Insider channel, I would be never understand, but whoever handles their TH-cam account should just keep it up.
I'm curious how much time would be spent changing clothes or setting any of this up. It would need to be done stealthily right? I'm pretty sure the smallest movements can be done over the course of hours for snipers.
Normally when they inflitrate, they would already get a sense of the environment and get changed. If they were already in a Ghille suit, they meant that they are going deep behind enemy lines, within enemy territories. They have been trained to brace all forms of elements. If it rains, it rains. You do not want to get caught and shot midway while changing. They would also normally change if they are far away from their intended target or have set up a parameter.
On all of my stalks I had a known or suspected enemy position that I was moving to. During my mission planning, I would do a terrain analysis with a topographic map to determine how close I could get to the enemy position and still be unseen due to the terrain alone. This would give me an idea of where to set up my mission support site and cache my rucksack. From the MSS, I would move to the last cover and concealed position. Once there, I would pull out my ghillie suit and veg it up to match the local flora. So, depending on the terrain and vegetation, only the last couple hundred meters would I have my ghillie suit on. I'd say that it would take me about 30 minutes to camo up and get my ghillie prepped for the final portion of the stalk. As far as movement, if you can see the enemy first, you can quickly determine their blind spots and use them to approach relatively fast. I remember my last stalk, from the time we were dropped of a few miles away to when I moved into my final firing position was about 45 - 60 minutes. Unfortunately it wasn't as concealed as I hoped. So, over the course of about a hour, I cut branches off of some shrub oak and transplanted it on the other side of the tree where my shooting position was. I took my time, moving a branch about every ten minutes, mostly so that no drastic changes to my spot were suddenly made. Once I was done, I waited some more knowing that once I shot, a walker would be called within 10 meters of me, so I wanted that observer to get used to the bush that I had made. Fortunately, another sniper shot before I did which drew the observers attention to my spot. The other sniper was about 20 meters behind me and using the same line of fire. While the observers were able to talk the walker onto the other sniper, that meant that they scrutinized my area and didn't talk the walker onto my newly created bush (I was out of their line of sight behind a tree). After about 10 minutes, I moved into position and made the shot. The walker came over but the observers couldn't ID me. Eventually they asked the walker to put his flag on my head. Once he did, the observers radioed that it looked like he just put his flag on the ground. Throughout this, I was keeping near constant observation of the instructors so I knew when I could safely move. I was slow and smooth whenever any part of my body was within their line of sight but at the same time I was not impersonating Drax's "I am invisible because my movements are so slow as to be imperceptible." If I could see they were looking elsewhere, I could move from behind the tree and put in another branch. The trick was not to move fast enough that their peripheral vision could detect the movement and attract their attention to my location.
First thing to do with MRE's is open them, get rid of what you don't want and the extra air, and collapse them tight in half the space. Duct tape to seal them up till you're ready to use them, and don't leave any trace of where you laid up to eat. In Iraq we carried several HemCon 4x4's and an IV kit with 500mg bags each of Saline and Hextend. It'll keep you and your partner from being a heat casualty or bleeding out when things go "Bad" and QRF is still a way's out. Carry a couple VS-17 Signal panels, they are "Gold" when you're on a rooftop or layup position trying not to get killed by an overzealous Apache crew. Lay them flat on either side of your position so that they can only be seen from the air. Cross Load your gear with your partner so that if either one of you lose your gear, or the man that goes with it, you still have the ability to function. Eg: one man carries the Thermal sight, the other the Day/Night Scope, one man carries the main radio, the other a smaller backup, no one man carries all the ammo, water, medical kit, etc... SSG.

He'd tape it all up. I used to use tape since paint would scratch off. Plus the tape provides some sound protection if you drop something metal unlike paint.
For urban environment use with the screen. Urban environments are full of shiny things, as long as it isn't moving it's unlikely to grab attention. A rural environment would be an entirely different situation.

It depends on the unit but most snipers are given a fairly free reign over their gear. So long as they can reasonably justify it, most commanders will accept the personalization.
