Scenes from the Recon and Surveillance Course

ncscout
Hasty hide site is prepared to conceal rucksack and provide an overnight position. Note the abundance of dead grass in the area- makes for a simple early warning to the Scout should anyone (or anything) approach their position.
Larger hide site prepared for a three man team. Note the triangular shape. 
Hide site, rear. 
Pack light, freeze at night? Usually, but not always. Even with a morning frost, I slept comfortable enough with a GI bivy cover, Snugpak Jungle Blanket, and GI casualty blanket. A big part of the course of learning what your actually need, and what you can exist without. 
Three man Recce team prepares a plan at the Objective Rally Point.
Same Recce Team, preparing to move. 
The objective: A Small Town of Shoothouses and a mission to surveil the medical facility. 
Student in a cobra hood completes his range card and prepares to move back to the Objective Rally Point to prepare a SALUTE Report with the other team mates. 
Integration of technology: using drones as force multipliers.
