Long-range reconnaissance patrol
Long-range reconnaissance patrols, or LRRPs (pronounced "Lurps"), are small, heavily armed long-range reconnaissance teams that patrol deep in enemy-held territory.
The concept of scouts date back to the origins of warfare itself. However, in modern times these specialized units evolved from examples such as Rogers' Rangers in colonial British America, the Lovat Scouts in World War One, the Long Range Desert Group and the Special Air Service in the Western Desert Campaign and North West Europe, similar units such as Force 136 in East Asia during the Second World War and the Finnish Army during the Continuation War.
Postwar, the role was carried in various North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) and British Commonwealth countries by units that could trace their origins to these wartime creations such as the SAS regiments of the UK, Australia and New Zealand, 1er RPIMa, GCP, Groupement de Commandos Mixtes Aéroportés in France and the United States Army Rangers, Long Range Surveillance teams, and Reconnaissance, Surveillance, and Target Acquisition squadrons.
Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol (Sri Lanka)
The Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol (LRRP) is a covert operation (black ops) unit of the Sri Lanka Army. This unit is also known as the Deep Penetration Unit (DPU) and as the Mahasohon Brigade (Mahasohona is a demon in Sinhalese folklore hence literally meaning Demon Brigade). Colonel Raj Vijayasiri of the Special Forces is credited as the main figure who introduced the DPU concept and the Mahasohon Brigade to the Special Forces. LRRP units specialize in carrying out reconnaissance and sabotage operations in deep battlespace. In the recent Sri Lankan Civil War, LRRP units have been successful in assassinating several high-level commanders of the LTTE in LTTE-held territory. The unit has also been accused of launching attacks on and killing civilians. The LRRP suffered a setback when a safehouse was raided by the police; they arrested several personnel along with weapons. Before the misunderstanding was later cleared out and the arrested released, the names of the personnel involved in the unit were released to the public media, resulting in the assassination of several of them. The LRRP was later reformed and has resumed its activities following the resumption of hostilities after a ceasefire between the government and the LTTE was cancelled.

Life, Liberty, Righteousness, and the puruist thereof
It's tight, might just get, too rough to travel this road
But it's good to know, that for my soul, Christ is in control
Life, Liberty, Righteousness, and the puruist thereof
It's tight, might just get, too tough to travel this road
But it's good to know, that for my soul, Christ is in control
[T.R.U-L.I.F.E.]
Since the beginning of my life wit Christ its been shady
Im not crazy, my light hasn't been bright but hazy
Dimmed my desires within and fulfilment of my flesh
And best, let's just call it sin
It is what it is, so Ima deal wit this thing
Put my biz in the street but be real for the king
Even if it kills me, cause I've got a strange feelin
Some will draw close, and others wont cause quite revealin
Dont worry Im not mentionin names or situations
Just makin in plain wit some internal observations
Keepin it straight wit all the points that Im statin
So you dont get tossed, fooled or twisted by Satan
Now take it
[Chorus]
[2x]
[T.R.U-L.I.F.E.]
The wild things is, Ive been actin my childish
But Im a king's kid, so there's no hints of foulness
But such a loudness, that its clearly unmistakable
My Lord and Savior subjected Himself to a breakable
Shell that would be impaled, nailed but would rip the vale
And provide a detour for those on their way to hell
Not to tell, well that would not do Him any justice
Like me for eternity, many have entrusted
Themselves to His plan, His hand is fool proof
All God and all man, stands together as pure truth
I fall face in hand, His cures from the root
Cleans from the heart, makes a man new
I've seen what He can do
[Chorus]
[2x]
[T.R.U-L.I.F.E.]
I've had a sob story for a long time
But this aint bout a kid, who trippedup, fell down or lagged behind
But a story of one whose overcome, wit and by the Son
Spit fire wit the tongue, lift Messiah til Im done
The war's be done, but the battle jus begun
Victory has I run persevere' cause Christ hung
Breath left His lung, death poked fun
And the King ressurected and guess what?
Death got thumped! No longer wit the power to slump
A man if he believes, he cant be plucked
From the hand of the son
Who to trust, and why do you trust this One?
And when your physicals don? Have they told you what comes?
Life is more then just money, sex, drugs and guns
I know it dont sound fun but Ive got the right One
And when I do die, my life has just begun
How could I ever forget the dust is where Im from?
To the face of opposition I laught It's been engrafted
My righteousness is part of this total package
And so is my eternal secruity
That's why in all things I do now you can see me chasin purity
Goodness, gratefulness, lovein-kindness
To live a live of liberty and righteousness for his Highness
I see Lord, thanks for removin all the blindness
And pressin this coal into an H-Class diamond
[Chorus]
