reconnoiter

Reconnaissance

Reconnaissance is a mission to obtain information by visual observation or other detection methods, about the activities and resources of an enemy or potential enemy, or about the meteorologic, hydrographic, or geographic characteristics of a particular area. “ ” Reconnaissance Reconnaissance is the military term for exploring beyond the area occupied by friendly forces to gain vital information about enemy forces or features of the environment for later analysis and/or dissemination. Often referred to as recce or recon, the associated verb is reconnoitre in British and Canadian English or reconnoiter in American English. Examples of reconnaissance include patrolling by troops, ships or submarines, manned/unmanned aircraft, satellites, or by setting up covert observation posts.
