FM/BG-1494.V1.01 - Levels of reconnaissance

Gold Standard

  • A comprehensive reconnaissance of the Area of Operations (AO), thoroughly exploring all available reconnaissance methods and producing a detailed patrol report. This is a dedicated operation focused solely on intelligence gathering.

Silver Standard

  • Only the most critical and obvious terrain features are assessed, with key findings communicated directly to the Field Leader. This involves the reconnaissance team joining the operation early, focusing on essential intel.

Bronze Standard

  • Limited to the axis of advance and its immediate surroundings, with information passed to relevant callsigns. Typically involves scouts moving ahead of an advancing force to gather basic intel reporting back to the most relevant callsign.
