Reconnaissance and Surveillance Leader’s Course Enables Scout Squads’ Success, 9 pages

OVERVIEW:

RSLC students are taught to move to a position of relative advantage, report information to the commander and employ operational techniques to increase their survivability. As such, the course’s mission is to develop the combat-arms-related functional skills of officers and noncommissioned officers whose primary focus is to conduct reconnaissance and security (R&S) operations.

RSLC remains the capstone school for scout-squad leaders in all types of brigade combat teams (BCTs). The skills taught at RSLC are still necessary for any small element to extend the security zone. The knowledge taught in RSLC, originally designed for units operating up to 180 kilometers forward, is now just as applicable to current formations operating within supporting fires. The requirement for these trained, dismounted recon leaders has increased due to the significant changes to cavalry organizations and scout platoons transitioning to the 6 (platform) x 36 (Soldiers), or 6x36 model, that supports additional dismounted scout squads.

Despite the increased requirement for dismounted recon leaders, some people question the requirement for RSLC. They cite the Army’s deactivation of long-range surveillance (LRS) units as a reason to discontinue the RSLC requirement. Contrary to this perception, organizational changes in all BCT types have increased the need for dismounted R&S missions, especially since peer adversaries will challenge U.S. dominance in electronic and unmanned surveillance capabilities. That expected challenge is why the Army recognized the need to increase proficiency in these fundamental R&S skills among its infantry brigade combat teams (IBCTs), Stryker brigade combat teams (SBCTs) and armored brigade combat teams (ABCTs). The increased proficiency in these skills trained at RSLC – will enhance effectiveness and survivability across the various types of units in the force.
