General reconnaissance is a broad, continuous, operation, initiated as soon as the organization enters the area
in which it is to conduct operations. Special reconnaissance seeks specific information for a specific purpose.

General reconnaissance is a ___________________________, _______________________ operation. Special
reconnaissance seeks _________________________ _________________________.

Photos are most useful for reconnaissance when they are used to supplement maps, unless they are specially-

Photos should be used to _______________________________ maps in preliminary reconnaissance studies.
