Within the Marine Corps' tank battalions is a unique asset that is often improperly employed and not well known within the other components of the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF): the scout platoon. While the tank battalions recognize the importance and value of the scout platoon, they are restricted from employing scouts to their full potential due to the platoon's inflexible structure and limited capabilities. Often, tank battalions must utilize the TOW (tube launched, optically tracked, wire guided missile) anti- tank platoon to supplement its reconnaissance requirements. By combining the scout and TOW platoons and establishing formal scout training, the tank battalion can enhance its organic reconnaissance capabilities.
