I'm joining the reserves, and one of the benefits of the reserves (I suppose) is that you can pick your MOS and your unit so long as they have an opening. There are two units in Utah - one is a regular rifle company and the other is an LAR company.
I know that both are considered infantry companies, but I was wondering how much of a difference there was in their respective missions. I did a little research on the internet and from what I found LAR companies provide "Recon-in-force" ahead of the rest of the battalion. I couldn't find anything on rifle companies, but I would assume their mission was similar but without the reconnaissance aspect.
I want 0311 and I was wondering how different, if at all this MOS would be in these two units? Also, does anyone here have any history either working in or with an LAR company? And lastly, if it were you and these were the to units you had to choose from, which would you choose and why? Poolees and wannabes feel free to answer as well.
