Since the earliest recorded military history, scouting and
reconnaissance have been key tools employed by military commanders
to obtain a picture of the tactical situation and make informed
decisions. Scouts known as sciritae were deployed by the Spartans
and had a privileged position in their order of battle. The
Spartans were so aware of the advantage their scouting operations
gave them that they went to great lengths to keep them secret. As
military tactics, weapons and equipment developed over the
centuries, methods of scouting and reconnaissance evolved and
adapted but always remained true to the spirit of the scout - light
on their feet, taking only what they need and returning with the
information that could turn potential defeat into victory. Military
Reconnaissance provides a concise but revealing picture of the art
of military scouting and reconnaissance from the highly toned
Spartan warriors, the scouts employed by Julius Caesar, through the
middle ages to the Napoleonic Wars to the role of the scout in
modern warfare.
