The Irish team took home a landmark victory at the 15th International & U.S Sniper Competition at Fort Benning in the US state of Georgia.
It is the first time in the competition’s history that a non-US team wins the top prize.
The Rangers won both the International and overall categories, coming on top of 36 other teams drawn from the U.S military, international military, and U.S state and federal law enforcement.
The high profile competition took place over four days in the Deep South marsh and bush lands. Challenge categories included sniper stalk, movement shoots by day and night, obstacles courses, pistol shoots, stress shoots and unknown distance shoots.
