Cavalry Leader's Course Written Exam| (NEW! Update) Comprehensive Questions and
Verified Answers | 100% Correct
Reconnaissance ✔️A mission undertaken to obtain, by visual observation or other detection methods,
information about the activities and resources of an enemy or adversary, or to secure data concerning
the meteorological,
hydrographic, or geographic characteristics of a particular area.
Commander's decisions ✔️CCIR-->PIR-->EEI-->Indicators-->SIR (Indicator and IC Asset)
Reconnaissance Objective ✔️-a terrain feature, geographic area, or an enemy force about which the
commander wants to obtain additional information. The objective should directly support the end state
defined in the commander's intent.
Fundamentals of Reconnaissance ✔️-Orient on the Reconnaissance Objective
-Report all information rapidly and accurately
-Do not keep reconnaissance assets in reserve
-Ensure continuous reconnaissance
-Gain and maintain enemy contact
-Retain freedom of maneuver
-Develop the situation rapidly
Orient on the Reconnaissance Objective ✔️-Leverage finite resources to meet specific goals. DO not need
an even allocation of IC assets.
Report all information rapidly and accurately ✔️-Although you can perform analysis and provide
recommendations, you still need to report the information that led to the conclusion.
Do not keep reconnaissance assets in reserve ✔️-Reserve is not the same as depth which is permissible
and encouraged. Allows you to assign a unit as a mutually supporting asset as long as it has it's own
reconnaissance assets.
Ensure continuous reconnaissance ✔️-Conduct reconnaissance in all phases of the operation, especially
the late phase of the reconnaissance phase.
Gain and maintain enemy contact ✔️D what is necessary to find the enemy such as utilizing HUMINT
collectors. See more than what the enemy wants you to see. Have assets prepared in the event the
enemy moves.
Retain freedom of maneuver ✔️-Avoid decisive engagements. If you can still maneuver or retrograde,
despite what assets you use, you are not decisively engaged.
Develop the situation rapidly ✔️-Cavalry scouts are not passive observers. They have the ability to force
an enemy reaction to gain intelligence if necessary.
, Commander's Reconnaissance Guidance ✔️-Focus
-Tempo
-Engagement Criteria
-Disengagement Criteria
-Displacement Criteria
Reconnaissance Focus ✔️-Terrain
-Infrastructure
-Threat
-Society
Reconnaissance Tempo ✔️-Describes level of detail you are pulling from the environment and the
signature you are putting out.
-Detail: Rapid or Deliberate
-Signature: Stealthy or Forceful
Reconnaissance Engagement Criteria ✔️Provides the lower limit, or "floor" to what subordinates should
engage. Includes nonlethal capabilities. The more specific the better.
Reconnaissance Disengagement Criteria ✔️Provides the upper limit, or "ceiling" to what subordinates
should engage. Includes nonlethal capabilities. May also include Bypass Criteria.
Reconnaissance Displacement Criteria ✔️Event, Threat, or Time driven. The trigger to stop collecting
information.
Forms of Reconnaissance ✔️-Zone Reconnaissance
-Area Reconnaissance
-Route Reconnaissance
-Reconnaissance in Force
-Special Reconnaissance
Zone Reconnaissance ✔️-a form of reconnaissance that involves a directed effort to obtain detailed
information on all routes, obstacles, terrain, and enemy forces within a zone defined by boundaries.
Area Reconnaissance ✔️-a form of reconnaissance that focuses on obtaining detailed information about
the terrain or enemy activity a prescribed area.
Route Reconnaissance ✔️-a directed effort to obtain detailed information of a specified route and all
terrain from which the enemy could influence movement along that route.
