What is the purpose of reconaissance?
To provide the commander with situational awareness.
How do we maintain contact once we are BINGO fuel?
Handover the recon objective to another unit.
What are the sub-components of CCIR (Commander’s Critical Information Requirements)? Where can they be found on the OPORD?
- PIR (Priority Intelligence Requirements) - questions about the threat or operational environment.
- FFIR (Friendly Forces Information Requirements) - requests for updates on friendly situation.
- Can be found in the coordinating instructions
What is a Named Area of Interest (NAI)?
- Geographical areas with information that will satisfy specific information requirements, such as PIR, can be collected.
- Typically chosen by comparing the most likely and most dangerous enemy courses of action.
What is an indicator?
Information which reflects the intention or capability of an adversary to adopt or reject a specific course of action.
What are the three types of management for reconnaissance missions?

Commanders employ two reconnaissance techniques to answer information requirements: Reconnaissance Push and Reconnaissance Pull. How do they differ?
Reconnaissance Push - relatively thorough understanding of the operational environment
Reconnaissance Pull - understanding of the environment or threat is vague, or if time is limited.
What are the fundamentals of reconnaissance?
