		Reconnaissance is the military term for the active gathering of information about an enemy, or other conditions, by physical observation.
		In 1939 Flying Officer Maurice Longbottom was among the first to suggest that airborne reconnaissance may be a task better suited to fast, small aircraft which would use their speed and high service ceiling to avoid detection and interception.
		Reconnaissance in force (RIF) is a tactic used specifically to probe an enemy's disposition.

		Force Reconnaissance platoons are attached to and are a part of the Command Element, and their position in the MEU(SOC) is not tied to the Battalion Landing Team.
		Force Recon Marines operated in six-man teams, and rely on stealth, evasion and training to survive, as they are usually too far ahead of the main force to expect artillery support or quick helicopter extractions.
		Special Forces operators have, however, two alternatives that can be easily used in existing rifles: The Mk 262 Mod 1 5.56x45mm cartridge, which uses a heavier 77-grain bullet, or the installtion of a new barrel/bolt group for use with a different caliber ammunition.

	The Future of Airborne Reconnaissance - Major Keith E. Gentile, United States Air Force
		However, the current airborne reconnaissance fleet is unable to meet this requirement for four reasons: an inadequate force structure and lack of interoperability; missionized platforms and sensors; ground stations and datalinks; and finally, platform survivability.
		As a result, airborne reconnaissance assets were unable to fully conduct operations to assist in the intelligence preparation of the battlefield prior to hostilities.
		This reconnaissance cell would provide direct coordination with the JFC staff to maximize the effectiveness of the airborne reconnaissance strategy and coordinate actions of airborne reconnaissance and surveillance, and command and control platforms enabling the JFACC to preserve forces, achieve economies, and accomplish operational objectives.
