Long Range Surveillance (LRS) (pronounced "lurse") are elite, specially-trained surveillance units of the United States Army employed for clandestine military operations by the Military Intelligence for gathering direct human intelligence information deep within enemy territory. Classic LRS employment is to infiltrate deep into enemy territory, construct hide and surveillance sites, and provide continuous surveillance/special reconnaissance of an intelligence target of key interest. LRS teams allow 24-hour surveillance and analysis coverage unlike Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), manned aircraft, and most satellites. Assuming there is no mission compromise, these teams typically remain in position for up to 30 days, as determined by the availability of food and water.〔(Eyes Behind the Lines: US Army Long-Range Reconnaissance and Surveillance Units )〕 ==Mission== LRSUs operate up to from the Forward Line Of Troops (FLOT) for a maximum of 30 days. Their five primary missions are reconnaissance, surveillance, target acquisition, battle damage assessment, and force protection. They also have many secondary missions capabilities to include enemy prisoner-snatch, wiretapping, field assassinations, emergency assaults, general battlefield information (weather and light data, map data, etc.) and enemy equipment/infrastructure sabotage. LRS team operations are characterized by the following: # LRSU Clandestine operations require Operational Security (OPSEC) and Personal Security (PERSEC) measures and procedures before, during, and after mission employment. This is to protect the individual team members as well as maintain operational integrity of the LRS cell. # Team members depend on stealth, cover, concealment, infantry, and Ranger skills. # Team members avoid contact with enemy forces and local population. # Teams are employed to obtain timely information. # Teams have restricted mobility in the area of operations. # Team members depend on communications, knowing the enemy's order of battle, and equipment identification skills. # The Surveillance or reconnaissance area is small, has a specified route, or is a specific location or installation. # Team equipment and supplies are limited to what can be man packed or cached. # Teams require detailed intelligence preparation of the battlefield (IPB) and debriefing from the Intelligence Officer (G2) for employment.〔(US Army Field Manual 7-93 Long Range Surveillance Unit Operations.
