Training in Armoured-Reconnaissance Battalion
In the exercise area in Niš and its vicinity, professional members of the Armoured Reconnaissance Battalion are currently undergoing routine training in carrying out unit-specific intelligence-gathering tasks.
This important segment of training for the Battalion Command and its subordinate units is conducted throughout the year in order to improve the scouts’ skill in collecting intelligence in support of Army operations. The training process involves the use of modern electronic devices for day/night data gathering and analysis as well as the BRDM-2MS armoured reconnaissance vehicles.
During the training, scouts are practicing tactics, procedures and the use of equipment for observation and collection of intelligence in field conditions. They are also organizing and carrying out scout patrols, surprise raids and ambushes. The training is being conducted in circumstances similar to those that scouts might encounter when carrying out missions deep within enemy dispositions.
Continuous training is instrumental in maintaining the Armoured Reconnaissance Battalion’s combat readiness at a high level, as well as its competence for executing all assigned tasks in diverse tactical, weather and terrain conditions and providing intelligence necessary for successful Army and SAF operations.
