		A new army special forces regiment was involved in the operation that led to the killing of an innocent man at Stockwell tube station in south London last week, the Guardian can reveal.

	Reconnaissance Summary
		Reconnaissance is the military term for the active gathering of information about an enemy, or other conditions, by physical observation.
		Espionage is not normally considered to be covered by the term reconnaissance, as reconnaissance involves uniformed military forces operating ahead of the main force, as opposed to non-combatant individuals within the enemy lines.
		Reconnaissance by fire (or speculative fire, 'spec fire') is a tactic which applies a similar principle.

		The unit was given new weapons and equipment, and received special training in field surviving, swimming with full gear, parachute jumping, helicopterborne assault, etc. Not before long, all other MR reconnaissance groups were also transformed into SOF, and the reconnaissance units organic to combat troops began to receive training in special warfare too.
		Reconnaissance teams are dispatched to every part of the front in order to discover avenues of approach, enemy positions (particularly enemy headquarters), and any weak points in the enemy’s deployment.
		Reconnaissance activities may include feints to induce the enemy to disclose his position; raids in strength to test enemy reactions; and limited attacks when the enemy’s strength is undermined.
