Quote HistoryQuoted: RECCE. You can kill a lot more bad guys and possibly live longer so long as comms are secure. This right here. Three words: call for fire. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: If you guys are all going to do reconnaissance, what command unit will you associate yourself with? How will you communicate with these command elements? Are you familiar with the various Information Requirements (CCIR as an example) and how they fit into MDMP? Even basic reporting formats like SALT/ SALUTE or simple concepts like METT-C? Are you going to set up hide sites and OPs? Have you been studying your old-school vehicle identification decks? Is that radio crypto and frequency hopping capable? Have you thought about access to jalapeño cheese spread in theater? Those adidas motherfuckers might try to stiff you with just peanut butter. This whole Recce thing seems like a tough row for some random dude, although, granted, those cool boots are cool and cool is cool, no doubt. Anyone who thinks "recce sounds cool, I want to be a sniper" would do well to research all of this. I know I have some learning to do. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: This thread understands that ambushes, drive-by’s, sniper attacks, pot shots from windows, hit and runs from alleys, calling artillery, and directing air strikes and other things generally called “recce” on the internet are all actually Direct Action, even if done from a concealed position, right? In theory yes. In the context of this thread not so much IMO. |

Most of what the Recce guys do is route planning for ops and overwatch for the assaulters.
Bill Rapier was a Recce guy at DEVGRU for years. He said that the longest shot that he had taken in combat was around 70 yards, and that was providing overwatch in Afghanistan.  With his "RECCE" rifle. Oh, he also has a pistol.

Both pairs of shoes suck.
Why do you have locking carabiners on your gear holders? You really wanna fuck around with the screw gate on your belt when you’re just trying to hang up your cool-guy gloves? I’ll take a track suit and some soccer slides and hang out with the Slav squatters. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Wow. Thats some good recce work there. I knew an old (1950-1978) infantry/SF guy that said the best way to make a scout is to send a guy out to look for the enemy without a weapon. If he comes back he probably is good at scouting. No shit, he said in Korea they didn't take anything metal with them, and they'd crawl back through Brit lines because Americans will shoot at sounds that Brits won't. |

I have no military or combat experience and definitely don't like the idea of urban warfare. I grew up sneaking through the mountains of SW VA still hunting deer, squirrels, rabbits, grouse, etc.. I think recon in a rural area would be more up my alley. I have all but 1 of my ARs set up as "Recce" type rifles.

I would prefer to spawn in with a B-52. I wouldn't drop any bombs, I'd just fly really low, confuse the shit out of both sides. And right after I die from crashing since I have no ducking idea how to fly a plane, I would spawn in as Putin and then nuke myself.
Nice gear op. |

OP has some great gear. I'm jelly.
I'd choose the Recce option, but my clothes are the same for either. Just some cheap pants and shirt from LAPG. Merrill boots. Carhartt goes well in my area (South Texas) and is extremely common in town so I think I'm good there, until it rains. Then I break out my practical, non-tactical Patagonia/REI rain gear. Or are we talking about Ukraine specifically? I'd probably still use it. The LAPG pants are ranger green and might be a little technical for some towns. Maybe not the mountain - backpacking areas. My wife is a bow hunter so I'll steal her leafy suit. I'm a backpacker and have a green Osprey pack but I'd grab a camo pack cover because it's kind of a bright green. My brother gave me a cheap chest rig. Probably some other odds and ends too and some spray paint. The closest I came to the military was Boy Scouts though. Did I mention I'm jealous of OP's gear? Fun idea for a thread. Thanks. |
