LRDG (full name: Long Range Desert Group) is the name of the British elite unit from the Second World War. It was formed in Egypt in 1940, and its formal dissolution took place in August 1945. He brought it to life by a special order of General Archibald Wavell. It was made up of soldiers from all over the British Empire, and many of them were volunteers. The LRDG was used primarily to conduct reconnaissance and subversive activities against the Axis forces in the period 1940-1943 in North Africa. However, sometimes the unit was used as a classic combat unit. One of the most famous LRDG operations was Operation Caravan, an attack on the city of Barka with relatively small forces. The soldiers of the formation, which consisted of a maximum of 350-400 people, used specially adapted cars for their tasks - especially Jeep Willys or Chevrolet 30CWT cars. After the fighting in North Africa ended in 1943, the unit served in the Middle East and the Balkans.
LRDG (fulde navn: Long Range Desert Group) er navnet på den britiske eliteenhed fra Anden Verdenskrig. Det blev dannet i Egypten i 1940, og dets formelle opløsning fandt sted i august 1945. Han bragte den til live ved en særlig ordre fra general Archibald Wavell. Den bestod af soldater fra hele det britiske imperium, og mange af dem var frivillige. LRDG blev primært brugt til at udføre rekognoscering og undergravende aktiviteter mod aksestyrkerne i perioden 1940-1943 i Nordafrika. Nogle gange blev enheden dog brugt som en klassisk kampenhed. En af de mest berømte LRDG-operationer var Operation Caravan, et angreb på byen Barka med relativt små styrker. Formationens soldater, som havde maksimalt 350-400 personer, brugte specielt tilpassede biler til deres opgaver - især Jeep Willys eller Chevrolet 30CWT biler. Efter afslutningen af kampene i Nordafrika i 1943 tjente enheden i Mellemøsten og Balkan.
