One of the main disadvantages of the modern minuteman team is its small size relative to a more conventional fighting force. This necessitaites a strong understanding of small unit tactics and missions that compliment a small unit well, one such mission is reconnaissance. Being able to effectively perform recon operations is not only a great way to maintain situational awarness for your community, but it is also a manageable skill for small sized teams / units.
In this episode, Stephen and Jacob reintroduce the reconnaissance mission and break down one of its sub-disciplines (civil reconnaissance). Civil Reconnaissance skills step away from a more conventional combatant recon mission and require a more covert and clandestine approach. These skills are paramount to the modern minuteman and should be prioritized well before the need for more convential methods.
This is part of a multipart series on reconnaissance. Check out Rural Reconnaissance, Urban Reconnaissance, Vehicular Reconnaissance, and Reconnaissance basics Part 1 & Part 2 to get a broader intro to this topic.
