Red Skulls - 21st Sniper Squad


Red Skulls training, Miettinen Military Academy Firing Range

c. 1994

"A highly-trained and well-equipped squad
of special forces snipers employed by the SPLA
for reconnaissance and intelligence gathering,
special high-risk operations,
assassinations, and political espionage of
Sandalos's enemies. They're recruited
from army marksmen around the ages of 20 - 25,
that show superb aptitude with their rifles,
as well as great potential to further their
skills. The training regiment of the Red Skulls
consists of: high-stress training in extremely
hostile environments such as mountains, empty
tundra plains, deserts, etc.; marksman training
and weapons maintenance, where recruits are taught
how to clean their rifles with the bare minimum of
supplies; survival and cooking classes, where recruits
are taught how to find food and water out in the field,
how to start fires in environments without wood or other
kindling, and how to cook with the bare minimum and
make it taste gourmet. Armed with FR-F2's bolt-action
sniper rifles
, as well as M686 autorevolvers,
and the service rifle of the United Federation even,
the FSA 59/60 semi-automatic rifle. These
marksmen are not to be messed with. With little known
of their activities abroad and domestically, the
Red Skulls have become a Sandalosi
icon for those in the higher echelons
of the military complex. The reasoning for
their weapons is simple: these soldiers have
to hide out in the open, and what better for that job
than a rifle that sounds like one of an enemy sniper,
confusing the enemy with oncoming sniper fire
that sounds too much like their own sniper's
rifle. The unit was founded after the conclusion of the
Gannean-War (1949 CE - 1953 CE), with the SPLF
appropriating the tactics of the Gannean Armed Forces
and expanding upon them, in this instance, the
Gannean "Black Skulls Sniper Corps" and their
unconventional tactics. The Red Skull's
were founded as a counterpart to the
Black Skulls. The Red Skulls would be involved with
10 wars since, both domestically
and abroad. They are incorporated
into the SPLA's Army Rangers division."
