===Denmark=== The [[Danish Defence]] Forces had three Long-Range Surveillance companies (LRSC) known as "Patrol-Companies" (PTLCOY): two assigned to the two Land Commands: LANDJUT and LANDZEALAND (Corps-level) (abbreviated "SEP/ELK" and "SEP/VLK" for: "''Specielle Efterretningspatruljer/Østre resp. Vestre Landskommando''" i.e. Special Intelligence Patrols) – two all-volunteer units within the [[Home Guard (Denmark)|Danish Home Guard]] - that was changed into the [[Special Support and Reconnaissance Company]] (SSR) in 2007 as a [[Special reconnaissance|Special Reconnaissance (SR)]] Company dedicated to supporting the Danish Special Operations. The third and last company (PTLCOY/DDIV) was assigned to the [[Jutland Division]] (later [[Danish Division]]/DDIV) and was trained by instructors from the Danish Army Special Operations Forces: [[Jaeger Corps (Denmark)|''Jægerkorpset'']] (i.e. Hunter Force) in [[Aalborg]]. PTLCOY/DDIV was disbanded in 2002 due to budget-cuts and the intent to implement [[Unmanned aerial vehicle|UAV]] in the Danish Army as the primary means of [[Intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance|ISR]]. The first UAV project later failed and was disbanded too. In addition to these units, the 3rd Reconnaissance Battalion, Guard Hussar Regiment, also has Long range reconnaissance capabilities, particularly in 1st and 2nd Light Reconnaissance Squadrons (1.LOPESK & 2.LOPESK), whose primary role is long range reconnaissance and sabotage in light vehicles and with minimal support and resupply. Likely to be the world's smallest LRS unit is the [[Sirius Dog Sled Patrol]] (Danish: ''Slædepatruljen Sirius''), known informally as ''Siriuspatruljen'' (the Sirius Patrol). It is a small squad-sized elite unit in the Danish Navy, that enforces Danish sovereignty in the Arctic wilderness of northern and eastern Greenland, and conducts long-range reconnaissance patrolling. Patrolling is usually done in pairs, sometimes for four months and often without additional human contact.
