Figure 8-4 is a sample of an augmented R&S platoon mission. In this example your battalion is in the defense and has tasked Company D to conduct a route reconnaissance and provide surveillance of NAI 3 for four hours. The scout platoon is conducting a screen in the north. Two GSRs are providing surveillance of the flanks. Each asset is conducting an independent R&S effort. This particular mission concept allows you or the S3 to move or assign additional missions to these assets with minimal disruption to the entire battalion.
