FROM THE PREFACE: On the ever-changing landscape of the modern battlefield, the scout platoon remains one of the tactical commander's most valued assets. This is especially true in the traditional role of the cavalry: as the commander's *eyes and ears* on the forward edge of the battle. Today's scout platoon complements its strengths in mobility, speed, and stealth with the latest technology to provide an accurate, timely picture of developments in the area of operations. This field manual describes how the scout platoon conducts its primary missions, reconnaissance and security. The manual focuses on the principles of platoon operations and on the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) the platoon uses to acquire information and provide security and protection for other units on the battlefield. It also covers a variety of supporting tasks and operations the platoon must perform or coordinate, either as part of its reconnaissance and security missions or as assigned by the commander.
