What is the definition of route Reconnaissance?

A form of Recon that focuses along a specific line of communications, logistics, and travel. It provides new or updated info on route conditions such as enemies, obstacles, or civilian activity. It also includes the route itself, terrain along the route, and adversary info that can determine or influence movement of friendly forces.

Definition of CBRN Reconnaissance

A mission undertaken to obtain, by visual observation or other detection, information about activities and resources of enemy, and to secure data concerning meteorological, hydrographic, or geographic characteristics of a particular area.

What is a CBRN Surveillance Task and technique?

A) Monitor- described as checking the environment for the presence of CBRN hazards. Techniques used in this task: •Periodic- consists of frequent checks of the environment for the arrival or presence of CBRN hazards. •Continuous- Involves uninterrupted checking for CBRN hazards at a given location over a specified period of time.

What is a CBRN Surveillance Task and technique?

B) Observe- Is described as watching a specific location or unit to determine the potential for presence of a CBRN hazard using visual means. •Critical node- uses a set of detectors/ monitors positioned around and throughout a specific high value target to provide detection and early warning of a CBRN attack. •Area array- uses a set of CBRN detectors/ monitors positioned within a given geographic space to provide detection or early warning of a CBRN incident.

Unique Recon task "Locate" which definition describes it best?

Described as finding the place where the CBRN hazard exists.

Unique Recon task "Survey" which definition describes it best?

Described as the active effort to determine her extent of contamination of CBRN hazards.

Unique Recon task "Mark" which definition describes it best?

Described as the use of visual or other indicators to warn others of the presence of a CBRN agent in a particular area/ location.

What is the Indirect method for Recon and surveillance?

Describes the employment of technologies, sensors, and intelligence platforms that are not directly in the physical domain of the potential CBRN hazards.

What is the Unmanned mode for Recon and Surveillance?

Is conducted be leveraging technologies and sensors controlled from a different location within the AO through communication infrastructure such as link or electronic tether to detect and monitor potential CBRN hazards.

Supporting Task "Quantify" which choice describes it best?

Is described as determining the amount of the specific CBRN hazard present in the environment.

Supporting task "Sampling" which choice describes it best?

Is described as obtaining a representative amount of the CBRN hazard for subsequent analysis.

Supporting task "Report" which choice describes it best?

Is described as providing relevant information about the CBRN hazard and other related data.

What is the Standoff method for Recon and surveillance?

Is the employment of technologies and sensors in the direct physical domain, within direct view of the potential CBRN hazard, while maintaining sufficient distance, time, and shielding to minimize risk to forces.

What is the Remote method for Recon and Surveillance?

Is the employment of unmanned technologies and sensors in the direct physical domain of the CBRN hazard to gather information within a potentially contaminated area.

Definition of CBRN Surveillance

Is the systematic observation of aerospace, cyberspace, surface, or subsurface areas, places, persons, or things, by visual, aural, electronic, photographic, or other means.

What is the definition of Area Reconnaissance?

It focuses on obtaining detailed information about the terrain or enemy activity within a prescribed area. This area could include a town, ridgeline, woods, or enemy activity. It's primary difference from zone Recon is that units first move to the designated area in which the Recon will occur.

What is the definition of Zone Reconnaissance?

It involves a directed effort to obtain detailed information on all routes, obstacles, terrain, and enemy forces within defined boundaries. It is also a deliberate time consuming process that requires substantial commitment of resources.

Supporting task "Detect" which choice describes it best?

It is described as determining the presence of a CBRN hazard in the environment.

Supporting task "Identify" which choice describes it best?

It is described as determining the specific CBRN hazard present in the environment.

What is Health Surveillance?

It is the regular or repeated collection, analysis, and interpretation of health related data and the dissemination of info to monitor the well being of a population to identify potential health risks, enabling timely interventions to prevent, treat, and reduce disease and injury.

What is the Aerial mode for Recon and Surveillance?

Operations are conducted during radiological surveys of large areas, such as dense urban environments where nuclear strike has occurred.

What is the Mounted mode for Recon and Surveillance?

Operations are usually performed to rapidly gather information across large areas of terrain, keeping pace with maneuver forces, while minimizing the exposure of personnel to CBRN hazards.

What is the Dismounted mode for Recon and Surveillance?

Operations that are conducted mainly on foot, with limited vehicle support. They facilitate greater employment of technologies within a hazard area to conduct CBRN supporting tasks such as detect, locate, and sample.

What is the Direct method for Recon and Surveillance?

Provides the greatest fidelity of information about the CBRN hazard. However the risk of CBRN Recon and Surveillance is great due to exposure to enemy fires and potential contamination.

What is Area Surveillance?

Purpose is to provide greater detection capability in large places. It is the temporary or continuous observation of a specific prescribed geographic place. It provides warnings to friendly units allowing them to avoid contaminated places before it poses them a hazard.

What is Point Surveillance?

Purpose is to provide intermittent or continuous observation of a specific place, structure, person, or object for a specific amount of time. These systems may be dismounted, fixed, shipboard mounted, or placed on mobile platforms. For this type of surveillance it requires the agent or hazard to be directly in contact with the detector.

What does SMEAC stand for?

S- situation M- mission E- execution A- admin and logistics C- command and signal

Describe CBRN Team Reporting

These teams communicate their data to the Combat Operation Center with 2 general methods the CBRN-4 Report and CBRN Data Sheets.

What is the purpose of CBRN reconnaissance and surveillance?

To provide commanders with detailed, timely, and accurate intelligence to inform commanders decisions or answer Commanders Critical Information Requiremnts (CCIR).
