| Reconnaissance is the act of gathering intelligence on your enemy. It is extremely important but easily the most underestimated part of any battle-group in the SARP due to hugely over-estimated sensor technology capabilities. | Reconnaissance is the act of gathering intelligence on your enemy.

| Reconnaissance units are a high priority target as interest in gathering intelligence indicates you want to put troops in an area. Indicating you can quickly put down reconnaissance will either stop you from being able to plan effectively (forcing you to use search and destroy and classic probing techniques) or neglecting an area entirely (allowing your enemy to continue to hold it). | Reconnaissance units are a high priority target as interest in gathering intelligence indicates you want to put troops in an area.

| Reconnaissance units often make good surgical strike units when adapted properly as their ability to evade fire and function deep inside enemy territory for extended periods of time - though their speed, range and sensor capabilities will suffer accordingly to the loss of specialization. | Reconnaissance units often make good surgical strike units when adapted properly as their ability to evade fire and function deep inside enemy territory for extended periods of time - though their speed, range and sensor capabilities will suffer accordingly to the loss of specialization. | ||

| + | ==== Forms and Methods of Reconnaissance ==== | ||
| + | There are four primary forms of reconnaissance. Although the forms each accomplish largely the same objectives, they are each utilized in different situations, depending upon the amount of intelligence already known about the enemy forces and the feasibility of obtaining more. | ||
| + | * Route reconnaissance focuses upon surveying a specific access or bridge point into a territory. The objectives of route reconnaissance are to obtain information regarding the route itself and the terrain surrounding the route that the enemy could utilize to influence movement, to clear enemy assets that could influence friendly movement, and to completely annihilate or diminish the effect of checkpoints on friendly movement. | ||

| + | * Force reconnaissance focuses upon obtaining information about the enemy via direct penetration of enemy lines. As the most aggressive form of reconnaissance, | ||

| + | * Zone reconnaissance is a concentrated form of reconnaissance that focuses on obtaining information regarding the routes, terrains, enemy assets, and chokepoints within a designated zone. Although zone reconnaissance is the most extensive, intensive, time-consuming, | ||

| + | * Area reconnaissance is a form of reconnaissance that focuses on obtaining information regarding enemy assets and disposition, | ||
