When the SUAS makes contact, particularly during reconnaissance operations, the operator will update digital systems and hand over the contact to ground Scouts via FM radio as quickly as possible. Rapid RHO (See Section V of this chapter for more information on RHO) allows the SUAS to avoid threat air defense weapons and also helps to maintain the tempo of the operation. 3-44. During the handover, SUASs assist in providing direction to the ground element charged with establishing contact with the threat. They maintain contact with the threat until ground units are in position and have also established sensor or visual contact. 3-45. The first actions in the RHO process are a SPOTREP and a situation report (SITREP) from the SUAS operator to the ground element. These reports are sent by FM voice, followed by digital systems reports. Next, the SUAS reconnoiters the area for secure positions for the ground element, identifying tentative hide, overwatch, and OP positions and likely mounted and dismounted routes into the area. 3-46. The ground element moves to initial hide positions along the route selected by the commander based on SUAS-collected information. The DRT element then moves to establish sensor or visual contact with the threat. Once this contact is established, the DRT element sends a SPOTREP to the SUAS operator via FM, followed by digital systems reports. When the operator confirms that the DRT element can observe threat elements and has a clear picture of the situation, handover is complete. The SUAS can be committed to a follow-on mission in support of the troop. SECTION IV – FORMS 3-47. There are four forms of reconnaissance: zone, area, route, and reconnaissance in force. Zone, area, and route reconnaissance are normally conducted with a multidimensional focus that includes such factors as society, infrastructure, threat, and terrain. During a zone, area or route reconnaissance, units often have to collect specific data on the terrain and terrain features. To assist in collection and classification, FM 3- 20.98 gives a thorough explanation of collection of essential field data including, for example, classification of streams, bridges, and slopes. Below is a brief definition of each form of reconnaissance. (For further details on these forms, see FM 3-20.96.) ZONE RECONNAISSANCE 3-48. Zone reconnaissance is a form of reconnaissance that involves a directed effort to obtain detailed information on all routes, obstacles, terrain, and enemy forces within a zone defined by boundaries. (See FM 3-90.) 3-49. The DRT can conduct one zone reconnaissance within the squadron’s zone reconnaissance area. The DRT is limited by their movement capabilities, understanding they will not be able to cover as large an area as a motorized unit in the same amount of time. However, the IBCT battalions are also moving at a dismounted pace. The zone reconnaissance by the DRT may be limited to restrictive terrain most suited to 3-8 ATTP 3-20.97 16 November 2010
Reconnaissance Operations their capabilities or threat-based zone, which utilizes the DRT’s stealth capability. A zone reconnaissance most often takes more time to execute than any other reconnaissance mission because the target area is larger and the initial intelligence preparation of the battlespace (IPB) usually generates many unanswered questions. The squadron commander must ensure that he gives adequate time to the DRT to accomplish the mission. If the time available is not adequate, he seeks additional time, reinforcements, or systems to assist in the reconnaissance effort. If necessary, the squadron commander may allow troop commanders to accelerate the reconnaissance effort and accept a degree of risk by reducing the number of critical tasks to be accomplished. The DRT may also conduct a screen to a flank or portion of the zone reconnaissance area to provide security for motorized troops and conduct an accelerated zone reconnaissance. PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS 3-50. Dismounted reconnaissance troop zone reconnaissance is organized with subordinate platoons operating abreast of each another within a portion of the zone as designated by graphic control measures (GCM). (See Figure 3-1.) The DRT commander expects significant threat forces to be found within the zone. He may have assets allocated from the IBCT, such as aviation forces, to deal with the anticipated threat. If reconnaissance elements will likely encounter significant obstacles or mobility impediments, they may also be augmented with combat engineers. Figure 3-1.
