Have to get the members of our military sniper teams into a vigorous cross-country ski training program. Heck, these men and women would sweep the biathlon events in the Winter Olympics!

The Marine sniper training program is plenty rigorous and VERY physically-intensive as it is, so they would be naturals for biathlon competitions.

Check out past medalists. You'll find a very healthy representation from the Army and Army Reserve.
There have been some Olympics where the Army alone won more gold medals than some countries, and not just in shooting competitions.
