E co. 51st Inf LRS

E Company, 51st Infantry (Long Range Surveillance), also known as E Co. 51st Inf LRS, was an elite U.S. Army unit specializing in long-range reconnaissance and surveillance operations. Activated in the late 1980s, the unit was part of the XVIII Airborne Corps and provided critical intelligence by operating deep behind enemy lines, often inserted by parachute or helicopter. E Co. 51st Inf LRS participated in numerous training exercises and supported real-world operations, honing skills in stealth, communications, and intelligence gathering. The unit was deactivated in 2006 as part of a broader Army transformation, with its unique capabilities transferred to other reconnaissance elements.
