Eyes Behind the Lines: US Army Long-Range Reconnaissance and
Surveillance Units is the 10th study in the Combat Studies
Institute (CSI) Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) Occasional Paper
series. This work is an out-growth of concerns identified by the
authors of On Point: The United States Army in Operation IRAQI
FREEDOM. Specifically, these authors called into question the use
of long-range surveillance (LRD) assets by commanders during that
campaign and suggested an assessment ought to be made about their
continuing utility and means of employment. Major (Retired) James
Gebhardt, of CSI, researched and wrote this Occasional Paper with
that end in view. IN this study, Gebhardt surveys the US Army's
historical experience with LRRP and LRS units from the 1960s Cold
War and Vietnam War, through their resurgence in the 1980s and use
in Operations JUST CAUSE and DESERT STROM, to the advent of the
GWOT. The paper's analytical framework examines each era of LRS
units in terms of doctrine, organization, training, material,
leadership, and personnel. In doing so, the author makes a strong
case for continuing the LRS capability in the Army's force
structure. The variety of environments and enemies likely to be
faced by the military in the GWOT continues to demand the unique
human intelligence abilities of trained and organized LRS units. As
the Army leads the Armed Forces of the United States in combating
terrorists where they live, the lessons found in this survey remain
timely and relevant.
