Table of Contents

Long-range surveillance units are limited by the following considerations.

a. Mobility is restricted to foot movement in the area of operations.

b. Teams cannot maintain continuous communication with the controlling headquarters because of equipment limitations and the enemy's use of radio and electronic surveillance devices. Teams only establish communication at scheduled times or to report critical combat information.

c. Organic medical capability is limited to individual first aid.

d. Teams are lightly armed and have limited self-defense capabilities. They fight only to break contact.

e. LRSUs require support from higher headquarters in--

 Maintenance, supply, mess, medical, administration, finance, personnel, and chaplain services.

 Area communication integration and access to a common-user telephone system.

 Frequency management for HF and SATCOM access.

 Packing, rigging, and loading supplies and equipment for aerial resupply operations and parachute insertion operations.

 Army or Air Force air transportation to move the LRSU to the area of operations and ground transportation (provided by the division support command or corps support command) to move personnel and organic equipment in the area of operations.

 Intelligence (IPB) products from division or corps headquarters.
