LRS Leaders course is RSLC (Recon and Surveillance Leaders Course) and the NATO LRS school is now called something else and run by SOCOM (very hard for non-SOF to get into). RSLC and Army Reconnaissance Course are just about it. I have failed to find any Marine school soldiers can attend.
LRS mission is unclear at this point, and infantry scouts have always been undertrained and rarley used in the scout role since I joined in the mid 90's.

Perhaps when I get some time in a "RSTA" I will be able to better answer some the questions raised in this thread.
