  • Le 1er régiment de tireurs d'élite des États-Unis, ou 1st U.S. Volunteer Sharpshooters Regiment, était un régiment d'infanterie qui servit dans l'armée régulière fédérale de l'armée de l'Union durant la Guerre civile américaine. Recrutés dès septembre 1861 sous l'égide de Hiram Berdan, les volontaires du 1st U.S.V.S.R. furent employés comme infanterie légère ou chasseurs à pied, en éclairage voire comme franc-tireurs ; mais les « Berdan's Sharpshooters » demeurent célèbres pour être des tireurs de précision, la langue anglo-saxonne désignant de ce nom (sharpshooter, « fin tireur », puis par heureuse homonymie, « tireur au (fusil) Sharps », parfois écrit Sharp-shooter) un tireur d'élite, conjointement avec les termes marksman voire sniper. Dans ce rôle, les Sharpshooters visaient en priorité des cibles « de valeur », officiers ou artilleurs adverses. Leur caractéristique visible, outre l'utilisation du fusil Sharps moderne, précis et parfois amélioré d'une lunette de visée, est leur uniforme originel de teinte vert forêt distinct du bleu quasi-général porté par l'U.S. Army nordiste. Ce premier régiment de volontaires est entré en service actif à la fin du mois de novembre 1861. Durant leur service, ils combattirent dans la plupart des batailles de l’Est jusqu’à l’automne 1864.

  • O 1st United States Sharpshooters foi um regimento de infantaria, que serviu no Exército da União durante a Guerra Civil Americana, criado e comandado por Hiram Berdan. Durante a batalha, a missão do "Sharpshooter" (atirador de elite) era matar alvos inimigos importantes (ou seja, oficiais e suboficiais) a longa distância. O primeiro regimento de voluntários iniciou o serviço no final de novembro de 1861. Eles participaram de todas as batalhas no Teatro Oriental da Guerra Civil Americana, até 31 de dezembro de 1864, quando o 1º e o 2º regimentos de Sharpshooters foram consolidados. (pt)
