Lay the shirt flat on a level surface without stretching. Smooth out folds, then measure straight across from side seam to side seam, one inch below the armhole seams.

Measure body length from the high point of the shoulder beside the neck to the bottom hem.

Chest width is half the garment circumference. Doubling it gives the measurement around the garment, not a recommended body chest size.

Chest-width manufacturing tolerance: ±0.5 inch.

Our original design honors the legacy of the 74th Long Range Surveillance (LRS) unit's distinguished service during the Vietnam War and GWOT.

Operating in small teams deep behind enemy lines, these Soldiers specialized in stealth reconnaissance, target acquisition, and direct-action ambushes against North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong forces. Missions often required insertion by helicopter into contested terrain, followed by days of movement while avoiding detection. Their reporting provided critical intelligence for larger conventional operations, and their ability to disrupt enemy activity with minimal footprint made them a force multiplier despite their small size.

During the Global War on Terror (GWOT), the 74th LRS continued this legacy in a modernized battlespace, deploying in support of operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Their mission set remained rooted in dismounted reconnaissance and surveillance, but expanded to include integration with advanced ISR platforms, coordination with special operations forces, and support to brigade and division-level intelligence efforts.

Whether conducting route reconnaissance, observing high-value targets, or providing early warning on enemy movement, the 74th LRS maintained the same disciplined, low-signature approach that defined their Vietnam-era predecessors—quiet professionals operating far forward, delivering intelligence that shaped the fight.

Unit History & Information

The 74th Infantry Detachment (Long Range Surveillance) served with the 173rd Airborne Brigade during the Global War on Terror. Its service in Afghanistan included operations in Helmand Province alongside coalition partners. In 2006, First Sergeant Randy Collins represented U.S. forces at the NATO summit after serving with the detachment there. He described the practical value of working with Romanian forces, Special Forces, and the Afghan National Army, combining transport, support, and local knowledge. That account provides a glimpse of the small unit’s work beyond the reconnaissance designation printed on its scroll.
