Do you mean "unconventional" in a military doctrinal context, or in the context of the dictionary definition?

Doctrinal: I stand corrected however. The old FM 7-93 described it like this "Essentially, the LRSU mission
is nonconventional while working in a conventional environment.." Appendix A pg A-1
The new FM 3-55.93 describes them this way: "LRSU are not SOF, although they share many of the same tactics, techniques, procedures, terms, equipment, and organizational structure." pg 1-4
conventional forces — 1. Those forces capable of conducting operations using nonnuclear
weapons. 2. Those forces other than designated special operations forces. Also called
CF. (JP 3-05)
+ one to that. I had to brief my Squadron Commander on what the hell the DRT (infantry guys stuck in a Cav unit) was all about. He still wanted to use us for security checkpoints and taking objectives. Short story, I left and went to the Q.Today's ignorant Captain or Major is tomorrow's ignorant BN or BDE commander.
I'll go out on a limb and say you guys have tried like hell to make the CoC understand what you do and what you can do for them and they aren't terribly responsive?
With that attitude it won't be.I am Going into an (IBCT) (RSTA) unit and am getting the impression from this forum that it will not be fulfilling whatsoever..

You need to post and intro before you post again. Thanks.
Done and thank you!
Does that mean the infantry scout platoon will be going away w/i the Stryker Brigades?The RSTA designation, along with a few others is going away. All Squadrons will be designated Cavalry Squadrons and all Company level organizations are to be labeled Cavalry Troops.
This guy that wants to see combat...I hope he knows that we're not going to war for awhile...at least that's what's on the horizon.
