  Section III. OPERATIONS SECURITY
  LRS units' OPSEC measures are important planning considerations. LRS mission classification seldom falls
  below SECRET during war or stability conditions. This section discusses security classifications; mission
  classification; the need and procedures for separating teams during planning; and security during coordination.
  PERSONNEL SECURITY
  LEADERS
  3-31. Leaders require TOP SECRET clearance and inclusion on the BFSB S-2 ISR fusion element
  access roster as well as TOP SECRET SCI access to national-level assets so that they can plan missions
  in detail:
  • LRSC commander.
  • LRSC executive officer.
  • LRS detachment leaders.
  • LRSC communications platoon leader.
  • First Sergeant.
  • Operations NCO.
  • Any LRSU Soldier acting as an LNO.
  • The LRS team leader.
  LRS TEAM MEMBERS
  3-32. Each LRS team member must hold a current SECRET clearance and access level, or higher. The
  information that a LRS team needs for planning purposes is sometimes classified above the individual team
  member’s access level. When a LRSU Soldier fails the mandatory investigation for a required security
  clearance, he receives a transfer to a position or unit with lower clearance requirements. Members of a
  LRSU who frequently engage in alcohol- or drug-related incidents, demonstrate financial or mental
  instability, or violate the law are reassigned or separated from military service. The BFSB commander must
  entrust a LRSU Soldier with mission-sensitive and classified information. Mishandling of information, no
  matter how innocent the compromise, constitutes a serious incident.
  MISSION CLASSIFICATION
  3-33. LRS missions receive SECRET-level classification due to the vulnerability of a six-man element,
  which might be operating deep behind enemy lines. LRS team locations are seldom posted or mentioned on
  a computer LAN, graphic or written OPORD, intelligence summary (INTSUM), or INTREP, regardless of
  the classification of the dissemination vehicle. The BFSB S-2 ISR fusion element OIC, S-2s, S-3s, G-2,
