RECONNAISSANCE (from Fr. reconnaitre, to recognize, Lat. recognoscere)

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 958 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RAY-RHU
RECONNAISSANCE (from Fr. reconnaitre, to recognize, Lat. recognoscere) , a military
term
  denoting the reconnoitring or examination of an enemy's position or movements, or of a
tract
  of ground. Reconnaissances naturally vary indefinitely according to the purposes for which they are undertaken. A topographical
reconnaissance
  is practically a survey of a
tract
  of country or route, comprising both a map and a
report
  as to its advantages and disadvantages. All reconnoitring
work
  of this
character
  is done by
officers
  with small patrols, escorts or assistants. Strategical
reconnaissance
  is performed by contact squadrons, which send forward
officers
  and patrols to find the enemy. Tactical reconnaissance falls to the lot of troops of all arms, whether in contact with the enemy or for self-
protection
 . A reconnaissance by a large force of all arms with the
idea
  of provoking an enemy into showing his hand, if necessary by fighting, is called a reconnaissance in force.
