I didn't see any mention of this so far, or maybe I missed it.
MSG Owens and SFC Terry Gower of the B Co 2/3rd SFG (A) won the 11th Annual International Sniper Competition. While the team of CPLs Michael Craven and Kenny Lloyd from the Irish Defense Forces came in second place. Thirty two 2-man sniper teams competed at the 2011 International Sniper Competition September 26 – 30 at Fort Benning.
The teams represented active duty Army units, The Army National Guard, US Army Reserve, US Air Force, Pentagon Defense Police, the San Diego Police Department and the countries of Canada, Germany and Ireland. The competition took place on firing ranges on Fort Benning over a 72 hour period. The events tested their physical fitness and their mastery of sniper skills to include target detection, target discrimination, stalking, land navigation and marksmanship.

Who grinned at life in empty joy,
Slept soundly through the lonesome dark,
And whistled early with the lark.
In winter trenches, cowed and glum,
With crumps and lice and lack of rum,
He put a bullet through his brain.
And no one spoke of him again.
You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
Who cheer when soldier lads march by,
Sneak home and pray you'll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go.

At the very least they should respect PERSEC and black out the ARW lads face."Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman. Secondly, the infantryman always bears the brunt. His casualties are heavier, he suffers greater extremes of discomfort and fatigue than the other arms. Thirdly, the art of the infantryman is less stereotyped and far harder to acquire in modern war than that of any other arm." ------- Field Marshall Wavell, April 1945.

why?
if they are that special and opsec is a problem then they shouldn't enter such a public event.
they knew names and pictures would be published, it's the soldiers fault, not the organisers.
the soldiers should respect their own forces opsec rules, and if these have been breached then they should be disciplined accordingly.

The other picture is of an officer from IWW.
the unit either takes the hit and accepts that - or it doesn't enter the competition.
it's not the event organisers responsibility to hide the identity of those taking part in an event open to the world.

I wonder would you be saying the same thing if it was UKSF that had been compromised RGJ??
I dont blame the photographer.He/she was probably ignorant of the Wing lads status as he was a foreigner.I do blame the organisers as i can bet that if DELTA or DEVGRU took part then they would know damn well not to post pictures of them.I would also lay a bet that the Officer photographed had no idea that the photos would be posted online.If he did i would say that he would have had something to say about it.
Yes you can also blame the unit though as they should have let their hosts know that pictures of our SF lads should not be posted online."Let us be clear about three facts.
