Hah, exactly. It requires just three extra men per company, the team will be a shooter with semi auto .50 cal, and a spotter. Then an extra sniper with a M24. Just three men adding lots of long range hitting power. Would work well in a conventional conflict too, I think. Infantry and terrorists will be gunned down before they can get close. And that is just for the Army infantry. Plenty of other snipers will be added to various units.

Most infantry units already have mortars.

Rather than give away the sniper location, it would be better to call in a Mortar.

There are exceptions, but Mortars are responsive, long range, and lethal. (7000 meter range).
