Haven't dug too much into the weeds on that.
Does that mean the infantry scout platoon will be going away w/i the Stryker Brigades?

Slight nitpic, a BCT could only really only support a LRS-D. And yes, I agree all BCT's, I,S and H should have a LRS-D considering the size of the battlespace they have controlled in recent conflicts.Historically mech Inf used 19D's in the scout platoons. I would imagine it would be the same for Strykers. Sniper Sections will stay 11B.
I've always thought the RSTA concept was redundant, I would have rather seen dedicated LRS company at the BCT level, and keep the mounted scouts in the armored/mech units.
It makes very little sense to have a Cav Scout in a light/airborne unit.
Are you really stating that 19D's in Humvees have the same capabilities as a LRS team?? Different mission, different skill sets. THIS is why armor needs to keep there mitts off of the RSLC school and away from LRS.You have an entire Battalion size organization in a BCT whose job in Recce. Employ them correctly instead of as a mounted infantry battalion.
RSLC School has been moved from RTB to the Armor School.
The Reconnaissance and Surveillance Leaders Course is a 29-day course conducted by Delta Company, 4th Ranger Training Battalion at Fort Benning, GA.
RSLC is not the Long Range Surveillance Leaders Course (LRSLC) of yesteryear. Although RSLC is a course within the Ranger Training Brigade, this is not the fourth phase of Ranger School nor is it mandatory to be airborne or Ranger qualified to attend.
