  G-3, R&S squadron, BFSB, division and corps commanders are normally the only personnel outside the
  LRS operations cell that "need to know" LRS team locations. Teams working close together might need
  collateral support and, therefore, might need to know. At a minimum, they publish NFAs or RFAs on the
  FC's system. The system then automatically disseminates information to all units on the system. The BFSB
  generally needs to coordinate with the special operations coordinator (SOCOORD) LNO at division or
  corps as special forces and LRS teams might be operating in the same AO. Information provided to the
  SOCOORD LNO prevents fratricide among LRS and SOF operating in the same AO.
  SEPARATION
  3-34. LRS teams plan independently. What they need to know (critical information) generally depends
  on mission proximity. That is, LRS teams may require support from another team in the form of a
  communications relay or contact team (Joint Pub 3-50.12). The planning facility separates teams and
  insolates them from distractions and mission operational pace. Each team member keeps all information
  about his mission from the other teams. He only acknowledges, mentions, or discusses it with other
  members of his own team. Keeping mission information internal to the team ensures that, if one team is
  compromised and later captured, the enemy can only obtain information about that team and its mission.
  3-35. Teams on the ground-conducting missions avoid communicating with each other. Radio
  communications are vulnerable to direction-finding (DF) equipment. Threat forces might target areas
  where LRS teams could be templated to operate. The less that it knows about other teams' missions, the
  more secure they and the LRSU as a whole remain.
  SECURITY DURING COORDINATION
  3-36. Coordination, such as air mission briefs, can also compromise a LRS team mission. The LRS
  LNO must consider OPSEC when coordinating. During an air mission brief, everyone avoids discussing
  the mission location, NAI, or duration. They only discuss details such as the infiltration route, checkpoints,
  call signs, and logger area.
