The Reconnaissance and Surveillance Leader Course is designed to train leaders of the Army Long Range Surveillance teams that conduct reconnaissance / surveillance at the Division / Corps level. The course develops the technical, tactical, and leadership skills of selected officer and enlisted personnel assigned to LRS, SF, and heavy/ light division scout and reconnaissance platoons by requiring them to perform hands on tasks, as well as several written examinations. The RSLC student performs as a team member in a realistic tactical environment under mental and physical stress, approaching that found in combat. It provides the student the opportunity to refine his leadership and tactical skills to a high degree of proficiency so that he can return to his unit and train his team members.
The course lasts 33 days and pushes the student physically and academically. The training day lasts an average of 16 hours, 7 days a week. It is divided into major instructional blocks consisting of Long Range Land Navigation, communications, intelligence, vehicle identification, survival, and operational techniques (planning E & R, hide/ surveillance, photo imagery, airborne, air assault, Fast Rope, and special insertion/ extraction operations).
At the beginning of the course, students will take an Army PFT, Combat Water Survival Test (CWST), and a written land navigation test. Students should be proficient on written and practical application skills for land navigation prior to arrival. During the first week, students will conduct their day / night land navigation exercises. PT is conducted regularly and includes a circuit course and a ruck run. Students should prepare themselves academically and physically.
Needless to say, Andrew was amazing. I am so proud of him for getting through this course and all the other ones he has completed.
Signed, BROWN
