To provide a remote operation system that makes it possible to reduce a processing load and indicate a front or back direction of a lower traveling body of a work machine in a simple configuration. The remote operation system has respective mutual communication functions of communicating with a work machine (40) and a remote operation apparatus (20). The work machine (40) includes a lower traveling body (430) and an upper revolving body (450). The upper revolving body (450) is revolvable with respect to the lower traveling body (430). The remote operation apparatus (20) is for remotely operating the work machine (40). The remote operation system includes a support processing element (101) configured to transmit, to the remote operation apparatus (20), a combined image in which an index image is superimposed at least partially on the work machine (40) or a region around the work machine (40) in a captured image obtained through an imaging device disposed around the work machine. The index image is generated based on a mode of appearance of the lower traveling body (430) in the captured image and a mode of appearance of a designated component in the captured image. The designated component is unevenly disposed in a front or back direction of the lower traveling body (430). The index image indicates at least one of the front and back directions of the lower traveling body (430).
