About

consist of specially trained personnel capable of performing re- connaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition within the dis- patching unit's area of interest. The LRP must not be confused with the well-recognized reconnaissance patrol which normally proceeds to an objective area to acquire certain information and then returns upon the accomplishment of the specific mission. Normally the LRP is placed in a position to maintain surveillance over routes, areas, or specific locations for extended periods, re- porting all sightings of enemy activity within the area of observa- tion. 4. Mission The primary mission of LRP's is to enter a specified area within the enemy's rear to observe and report enemy dispositions, in- stallations, and activities. This mission will not be relegated to secondary importance by the pressure of additional tasks.
