Preliminary or pre D Day military term D Day reconnaissance is the reconnaissance that is used prior to the principal events of any major theater of war or landing force projection. The term is not similar to the initial word reconnaissance , as preliminary reconnaissance only prescribes the reconnaissance that is being conducted beforehand , and not during , u any u deployments, military operations, or maneuver warfare movement of troops . This method of intelligence gathering generally operates within the highest military intelligence tiers, or level of the intelligence general staff , for intelligence collection management as it allows the combatant commander combatant , landing force , and or task force commanders to better situate and prepare troops for the best feasible deployment, or landing, to achieve the utmost advantage. Aerial reconnaissance Aerial and Terrestrial reconnaissance ground reconnaissance elements are collateral to preliminary reconnaissance since it may require both assets to gain the appropriate preliminary intelligence. Examples of preliminary reconnaissance is best displayed when the United States Marines of the VAC Amphib Recon Company , during World War II , would reconnoiter the beaches and inland for their landing task force commanders, a method consecutively known as amphibious reconnaissance .

Spatial reconnaissance , or space reconnaissance , is the reconnaissance of any celestial bodies in space by use of spacecraft and satellite photography . NASA personnel utilizes space reconnaissance to scout other planets, military uses space reconnaissance by using spy satellites onto the Earth s surface. Space reconnaissance assets provide access to all parts of the globe and use a variety of sensors to collect information responsive to virtually every intelligence need. They also constitute an integral part of the U.S. military force structure, providing critical information with sufficient accuracy and timeliness to support the maneuver of military forces and the targeting of their weapons. Space reconnaissance is also very expensive. Although procured in limited numbers, the large satellite systems developed by the United States and the ground stations needed to operate them require expenditures in the range of several billions of dollars per year. Their substantial cost puts great pressure on the Intelligence Community to search for alternatives, find efficiencies, and continuously scrutinize the intelligence requirements these systems address.

unreferenced date September 2008 Route Reconnaissance is the intelligence assessment of the operational environment in reconnaissance operations of routes for military use, including methods of reconnoitering and classifying them for other troops. In a Tactical Area of Responsibility during combat operations the primary purpose of conducting route reconnaissance is to find and report all enemy forces that can interfere with movement along a route, and to identify the limit of direct fire range and dominant terrain terrain that dominates the route. Route reconnaissance includes creation of reconnaissance overlays to identify land and water features, bridge reconnaissance and bridge classification classification , road reconnaissance and road structure and design classification , special terrain reconnaissance such as that used during cross country movement , at the landing area s, on the inland waterway s, or when using footpaths and trail s, engineer reconnaissance , and use of military route sign s standard signs, sign lighting, bridge signs . A significant part of route reconnaissance is the ability to identify choke point s that prohibit military traffic by using conversion factors and tables to identify non standard surfaces or inadequate load bearing in structure. To do so, military load classification s are used for standard vehicles of a given armed force . Route reconnaissance is typically conducted by a foot, horse or vehicle mounted route reconnaissance patrol , sometimes with aid of aerial reconnaissance aircraft . The patrol would include regular reconnaissance elements and a combat engineering team. Category Military engineering Category Maneuver tactics ... more details
