US marine scout snipers by doctrine are probably the best example, or UK snipers. Usually they are used more as FO's or scouts rather than shooting (which of course they can do too).

More to the point snipers or even designated marksmen usually are far better trained to spot and identify enemy personnel or equipment (can't shoot what you can't see). And in past decades 40's-90's the fact they were well equipped with optics compared to other troops should IMO give them some sort "vision" rating (5-10 early on, perhaps more in later decades).
