Corps would normally have a Long-Range Surveillance Company (depending on
the mission).
Theater would have a Long-Range Surveillance Battalion (depending on the
mission).

This FM has no distribution restrictions and is approved for public
release.  If you desire specific information on any of the TOEs I have
listed send me e-mail.
