The LRRPs were formed in 1966 as part of the US Army's efforts to step up the war effort in Vietnam. The Rangers were trained in a variety of skills, including long-range reconnaissance, patrolling, ambushes, and raids. They were also equipped with specialized weapons and equipment, such as night vision goggles and silenced weapons.

The LRRPs operated in small teams of six to eight men.
