As my Catachan army representing LRRP(Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol)first i must make some research how these units works althought in wh40k i was unable to make such army,i did some compromises and yet working army.
The First real-world LRRP was British LRRP which become famous by cooperation with british SAS.Durning Vietnam war the LRRP trained by US Special forces in Guerilla warfare,artillery spotting,inteligence gathering and many other special tasks.Later that war two other groups were created,the Military Assistance Command Vietnam (MACV) Studies and Observation Group (SOG).Their job was deeper penetrating, and Special reconnaissance.Marines has also its own LRRP units called Marine force recon units.In 1969 all LRRP units was folded into newly formed 75th Rangers.
the LRRP units operated on reconnaissance and combat patrols, either obtaining highly vital intelligence, or performing highly dangerous raids and ambushes.
Later durning Vietnam war LRRP teams were used in risky mission due their kill ratio
it was said that 400 enemy troops for every LRRP killed.
Durning Nam war the LRRP units conducted around 23 000 patrols and had accounted 10 000 enemy KIA(using ambushes,sniping,artillery strikes and airstrikes)
of course there are lots of LRRP units all over the globe but these US ones had more info than others and i want my Catachans based on these troops
