LRDG (Long Range Desert Group)

The Long Range Desert Group (LRDG) was a British military unit created during World War II, specializing in reconnaissance missions and desert warfare in North Africa. Established in 1940, the LRDG operated behind enemy lines, gathering intelligence and performing raids. Their skills in navigating the harsh desert environment were crucial for gathering information on Axis forces. The group used modified vehicles to travel vast distances across challenging terrain, often under difficult conditions. The LRDG’s innovative tactics and adaptability made a significant contribution to the Allied efforts in the North African campaign.
