Chapter 1 OVERVIEW 1-4. The DRT is organic to the reconnaissance squadron assigned to an IBCT. The reconnaissance squadron consists of a headquarters and headquarters troop (HHT), two motorized reconnaissance troops, and one DRT as shown in Figure 1-1. The DRT has approximately 80 personnel. Its mobility is largely accomplished by foot, with vehicles limited mainly to leadership and supply personnel. ROLE Figure 1-1. Reconnaissance squadron, IBCT 1-5. The DRT conducts close, deliberate, and stealthy reconnaissance to respond to the reconnaissance requirements of the IBCT reconnaissance squadron, and to help satisfy the CCIR. The IBCT commander develops his CCIRs and passes them to the commander of the reconnaissance squadron. The squadron commander in turn gives missions to his reconnaissance troops to assist in answering the IBCT CCIR. 1-6. The squadron commander uses CCIR to facilitate timely decision making. The two key elements are friendly force information requirements and priority intelligence requirements (PIR) (Joint Publication [JP] 3-0). A CCIR is an information requirement identified by the commander as being critical to facilitating timely decision making and successful execution of military operations. The commander decides whether to designate an information requirement as a CCIR based on likely decisions and his visualization of the operation’s course. A CCIR may support one or more decisions. During planning, the squadron staff recommends information requirements for the commander to designate as CCIRs. RECONNAISSANCE 1-7. The DRT, as well as other reconnaissance units, is used in reconnaissance to collect information about the AO, which will be used to develop intelligence. Knowledge of the AO is the precursor to all effective action. Acquiring information requires aggressive and continuous reconnaissance. Information collected from multiple sources and analyzed becomes intelligence that provides answers to information requests to validate the CCIR concerning the enemy, population, climate, weather, and terrain. 1-8. Commanders and staffs continuously plan, task, and employ collection assets and forces. These assets and forces collect, process, and disseminate timely and accurate information, combat information, and intelligence to satisfy the CCIR and other intelligence requirements. 1-9. Dismounted reconnaissance troop units should always ensure the information they gather and report is relevant. Relevant information is all information of importance to commanders and staffs needed for 1-2 ATTP 3-20.97 16 November 2010
Introduction mission command and control (C2). To be relevant, information must be accurate, timely, usable, complete, precise, reliable, and secure. Relevant information provides the answers commanders and staffs need to conduct operations successfully. (FM 6-0 contains doctrine on relevant information and the cognitive hierarchy. The cognitive hierarchy describes how data becomes information, knowledge, and understanding.) CAPABILITIES 1-10. The DRT has the following capabilities: Provides all-weather, continuous, accurate, and timely reconnaissance and security in complex, close, and urban terrain. Employs small unmanned aircraft systems (SUAS) to enhance reconnaissance efforts. Gathers information about multidimensional threats, both conventional and unconventional. Conducts stealthy reconnaissance and security operations. Rapidly assesses situations and directs combat power, reconnaissance, and security capabilities to meet PIR. Assists in answering a CCIR. Detects threat deception, decoys, and cover and concealment that otherwise would not be detected by single-capability surveillance means by employing integrated and synchronized reconnaissance. Supports targeting and target acquisition through available ground and aerial assets, including the fire support team (FIST) and SUASs. Rapidly develops the situation. Assists in shaping the AO by providing information or directing fires to disrupt the threat. Conducts reconnaissance of one zone, two routes, or six areas. Conducts up to 12 short-duration observation posts (OPs) for a period of less than 12 hours, or up to six long-duration OPs up to 24 hours, or up to six extended-duration OPs beyond 24 hours based on METT-TC variables. Conducts ground, water, and air insertion. Employs organic indirect fire support (FS) (60-mm mortar) to the troop. LIMITATIONS 1-11. The DRT has the following limitations, which can be mitigated with careful employment or augmentation: Limited mounted capability, requiring augmentation of mobility platforms for rapid movement. Limited direct-fire standoff, lethality, and survivability. More time required to plan and employ. Dismounted tasks associated with zone, area, and route reconnaissance. Soldier load of dismounted troops. Force XXI battle command brigade and below (system) (FBCB2) only in the vehicles. May require augmentation to perform offense or defense missions. Requires augmentation from engineer assets to perform technical engineer tasks. Limited organic sustainment assets. ORGANIZATION 1-12. Figure 1-2 depicts the organization of the DRT. The troop consists of a troop headquarters, a sniper squad, a mortar section, and two scout platoons. Each scout platoon has three scout sections consisting of two four-man scout teams each and a leader's vehicle carrying four personnel. 16 November 2010 ATTP 3-20.97 1-3
