Summary

The Joint Task Force 2 (JTF2) is a highly secretive and elite special operations unit of the Canadian Armed Forces, specializing in counter-terrorism operations, both at home and abroad. Dallas Alexander and his JTF2 Sniper Team were responsible for landing the world's farthest shot, breaking every record before it. In part one of this two-part series, we'll get an in-depth look at how Tier 1 units from Canada operate in comparison with their US counterparts. Alexander recounts the horrors of ISIS, the exhaustion of overwatch, and the patience and precision it takes to pull off a 2.2 mile shot.
