This monograph discusses whether the U.S. Army has developed appropriate organizations for the conduct of tactical reconnaissance at the Corps, Division, Brigade, and Battalion/Task Force levels of command for the heavy forces in accordance with current doctrine. This monograph compares at each of the four levels of command under consideration, the parent unit mission profile, doctrinal mission requirements, and current reconnaissance organizations, to determine whether stated requirements are met. The monograph first provides the historical background to the development of reconnaissance organizations in the U.s. Army since World War II. Then current reconnaissance missions and organizations at each of the four levels of command under consideration are examined. Conclusions as to the ability of these organizations to fulfill doctrinal are then derived. Finally, recommended reconnaissance missions and organizations are presented. The monograph finds the largest problems at the division and brigade levels and recommends that the best solution for both lies in the restructuring of the divisional cavalry squadron. (jhd)
