INTRODUCTION
Reconnaissance operations vary with the operational environment and mission.
Ground and combined air-ground reconnaissance operations must be closely
supervised and monitored. All of your leadership skills must be used. The
general principles of reconnaissance operations are discussed in the
following paragraphs.
It is important that you keep them in mind when
conducting a reconnaissance. As the patrol leader, you are responsible for
the proper completion of the mission.
The information you gather will be
used by the appropriate commanders to make decisions that could affect the
outcome of the land battle.
Units engaged in reconnaissance operations maneuver according to the
location of the objective, rather than the location of friendly forces. In
a route reconnaissance there are two objectives. The primary objective is
terrain; the secondary is enemy forces. This means that you are concerned,
normally, with the enemy forces only insofar as they affect the route. As
