Reconnaissance
Reconnaissance in the open country is of the utmost importance. Enemy
machine gun posts lie everywhere waiting for soldiers whoare not careful. Squad
members with the highest STEALTH levels should be selected as the reconnais-
sance patrol. The higher these levels are, the lower the chance of being discov-
ered by the enemy. The reconnaissance soldier should move forward in stages,
carefully surveying the terrain with the binoculars or the rifle telescopic sight as
he goes. He should not engage in combat, unless acting as a sniper in part of a
wider plan. In some areas it may be necessary to provide cover for the recon-
naissance soldier.
Forward Movement in Formation
Firing cover is necessary during any movement in open country. Figure 5
shows forward movement of the squad with cover being provided from one side
by a machine gunner and by the other squad members.
If you are not sure from which side the enemy will attack, choose the alter-
native shown in Figures 6 and 7. Red arrows indicate the direction where trouble
is expected. During movement, try to be in control of the moving unit. If you have
to respond to any sudden surprises, your squad is able to take cover and react to
the enemy attack.
Lateral Movement in Formation
If you know the approximate position of the enemy and are sure there is an
immediate threat, you can use the alternative method indicated in Figure 8. The
first moving squad member takes the reconnaissance role here. The remaining
squad members provide cover in the direction of anticipated enemy attack. It is
recommended that you control the moving soldier directly in case of any unex-
pected occurrences.
