Unit History & Information
MOS 96R identified the Army’s Ground Surveillance Systems Operators, the Soldiers often remembered by their Ground Surveillance Radar mission and the radio pronunciation “Ninety-Six Romeo.” Their work combined surveillance equipment with fieldcraft, observation, and reporting. A 1997 Army Armor article emphasized that 96R Soldiers needed scout skills in infiltration, intelligence gathering, and reporting as well as an understanding of the terrain limits of line-of-sight radar.
Fort Huachuca trained Soldiers for the specialty, and 96R personnel served in military intelligence formations across the Army. Recorded assignments include the 313th Military Intelligence Battalion in the 82nd Airborne Division, the 102nd Military Intelligence Battalion in Korea, and the 110th Military Intelligence Battalion at Fort Drum. The design honors that shared surveillance mission and the veterans who carried it out as team members, team leaders, and ground surveillance NCOs.
