SUBCOURSE OVERVIEW
"Know your enemy" is an old military adage. It is as true today as it ever was. A critical factor for the victorious commander is knowledge of the enemy. Knowledge of enemy capabilities and intentions allows the commander and his staff to bring strength to bear on enemy weakness. It reduces the likelihood of friendly forces being surprised by the enemy.
The commander on the modern battlefield employs many different information collecting methods. One of these collection means is Human Intelligence (HUMINT). An important method of collecting HUMINT for the corps and division is through the use of LRSUs. As an infantry officer or noncommissioned officer (NCO) assigned to a LRSU, you must lead and train your subordinates during preparation for and the conduct of LRSU operations. As a staff officer or NCO, you assist in the planning, preparation, and execution of LRSU operations; you will also assist in the assignment and monitoring of both training and combat missions for LRSUs. This subcourse will provide you the knowledge of the objectives, organization, fundamentals, environments, and procedures involved in LRSU operations.
There are no prerequisites for this subcourse.
