  • Students at the US Army Sniper Course at Fort Benning learn essential skills in marksmanship and fieldcraft, including how to make a ghillie suit. Ghillie suits are a type of camouflage clothing that snipers wear to blend in with their environment. During week two of the Sniper Course, students participate in an event known as a ghillie wash, which is designed to test the suits’ durability as well as to weather and add natural color to the suits. Students’ ghillie suits are put to the test during stalk events, where they cover themselves in natural vegetation and must stealthily move through wooded terrain without being spotted by instructors. Insider spent two days at the US Army Sniper Course to see how students craft their ghillie suits and how they’re utilized during training.

    I used to airsoft as a teen and I used a sniper and made my own ghillie suit. I bought jute and an old uniform from a military supply. I used dark green and brown dyed burlap for the mesh, and tied in a lot of natural foliage from the environment. Crafting that ghillie suit and using it to blend in might well be the most fun thing I’ve ever done. The feeling of someone walking right by you and being able to blend in, all from your own work in making the suit, it’s a truly great feeling.

I got to shoot with him when they where considering recommending me for an "elevated detail", I was too cocky and not mature enough at that time to be selected out but they did let me end up shooting any target I chose. 1048 Meters was the deepest target at the time for the M24.

    I grew up a little over a mile from the Sand Hill entrance to Ft Benning. This was before the entrances on St Mary's Road and Buena Vista Road were gated. We spent many summer days playing out there in the woods, picking up stuff the Box Heads left behind, like ammo clips, spent shells and C-rations (last half of the 1960s). There was almost never, ever anyone in that area on the weekends. Times have changed. The entire western border of Ft Benning is now fenced in. And the gates locked permanently. And yes, that red clay is everywhere.

    That has way less to do with improving the ghillie suits, but the people wearing them. Notice that none of them actually had a full ghillie suit on during the wash. They could just as easily dip and rub the suits. This is about training them to move better, in ways that aren't easy to spot as human...and how to better camouflage themselves in the process.

      If you think doing a roll on a road or crawling backwards with your underside up uncamouflaged with a few thrown in star jumps and squats is not going to get you seen I think you watched a different clip to me lol. It is to do with the way your body moves stretching the material. you know sometimes you bend over and your clothes are too tight they might rip? or the parts you attached were not done good enough thy will come lose.

      @@MagicMarvin33 Say that to my face! I'm right behind you. 😉🙃 I'm of the opinion that not everything that is claimed is truth. I didn't say it was only about one thing, but more about it. Didn't you notice that most of the features of their ghillie suits were not in place after the first assembly? Those pieces should have been fixed between activities, if the goal was to wear in the whole suit. Sure, those guys were green and moving too quickly, but certain muscles have to be trained to properly move. You can't just send someone out with a perfect ghillie suit and expect them to be able to not look like a suspiciously shaking bush or slithering pile of leaves. Yes, it could be purely made up, but reading between the lines and observing that one's stated goals don't match one's actions requires something more than merely trusting narrator's statements.

    (Not watched the video before I commented btw)
    Another reason for the whole swmming through mud and crawling through shit thing with the Ghillie suit is to remove any "human" smells that might be on it, that's part of the reason why although an Ghillie suit might be maintained as in pads restitched to knees/elbows etc, it is never washed or cleaned as that would likely make it smell too "human", you want to remove any trace of that person from it, so if the enemy is using tracker dogs then they cannot follow or home in on the smells from the suit that the average person might impart into it, unlike an Soldiers uniform the Ghillie suit remains unlaundered, you literally want it to smell like the vegeatation that you're crawling through and remove any trace of a scent from it, the better it smells of vegetation and soil etc the more chance the person wearing it can remain undetected.
    This is also why some SF soldiers have their noses "honed" to smell the enemy from afar, cigarette smoke is an obvious giveaway but so is a freshly laundered uniform that smells of washing powder or an aftershave, deodorant or even strong smelling foods like onions and drinks like Coffee, all those can carry on the wind for quite a distance, On a bright summers day with a light breeze i've literally smelt someones coffee breath from a mile away.
