Long Range Surveillance Detachment
- Long Range Surveillance Detachment
The US Army Long Range Surveillance Detachment (LRS-D's) is organized as a detachment organic to the military intelligence battalion at division level for the purpose of Long Range Surveillance. The LRSD's are organized into a headquarters section, communications section (two base radio stations), and six surveillance teams. (Light division LRS detachments only have four surveillance teams.) The leaders are airborne and ranger qualified. All other personnel in the detachment are airborne qualified. All active Army LRSD's were deactivated in September 2005 and Most National Guard units are being deactivated September 2008. Two new National Guard Long Range Serveillance Companies are being stood up in September 2009.
Headquarters Section
This section contains the personnel necessary for command and control of the detachment.
Communications Section
These personnel ensure expeditious processing of all message traffic. The two base stations maintain communication with deployed teams. The LRSD may be augmented with a base station from the corps LRSC if dictated by operational requirements, equipment shortages, or maintenance problems.
urveillance Teams (LRS teams)
Each team consists of a team leader, an assistant team leader, three observers, and a RATELO. The teams obtain and report information about enemy forces within their assigned areas. They can operate independently with little or no external support in all environments. They are lightly armed with limited self-defense capabilities. To be easily transportable, they are equipped with lightweight, man-portable equipment. The teams are limited by the amount of weight that they can carry or cache. Because all team members are airborne qualified, all means of insertion are available to the commander when planning operations.
