  * Reconnoiters all terrain the enemy can use to influence the route.
  * Reconnoiters all built-up areas, contaminated areas, and lateral routes along the route.
  * Evaluates and classifies all bridges, defiles, overpasses, underpasses, and culverts along the
  route.
  * Locates and conducts hasty visual classification of all obstacles, minefields, built-up areas, wire
  obstacles, and barriers along the route.
  * Locates and conducts hasty visual classification of all fords, crossing sites, and bypasses around
  obstacles and built-up areas along the route.
  * Reports the above information, to include providing a sketch map, route overlay, and/or full-
  motion video feeds.
  3-69. If during the conduct of the mission, the aviation reconnaissance force is unable to complete an
  assigned task, the unit reports and awaits further instructions.
  3-70. Figure 3-14, page 3-19, depicts an SWT conducting a route reconnaissance using MUM-T. While the
  reconnaissance manned assets focus on the route, the UAS reconnoiters the adjacent terrain in which the
  enemy may influence the reconnaissance objective during future operations.

  RECONNAISSANCE IN FORCE
  3-71. A reconnaissance in force is a deliberate combat operation designed to discover or test the enemy’s
  strength, disposition, and reactions or to obtain other information (ADP 3-90). Reconnaissance in force is
  conducted as a combined arms operation at the battalion task force or higher level.
  3-72. An ASTF or ABTF can conduct a limited reconnaissance in force when task-organized with adequate
  ground maneuver forces, but typically Army Aviation is task-organized to the ground maneuver
  headquarters tasked with reconnaissance in force. During a reconnaissance in force, subordinate aviation
  elements may conduct the full range of tactical, enabling, and sustaining tasks, including attacks, air
  assaults, reconnaissance, security, C2 support, and MEDEVAC.
  3-73. A reconnaissance in force is an aggressive, enemy-oriented reconnaissance. The reconnaissance in
  force is task-organized and maneuvers either by attacking or conducting a movement to contact to
  overwhelm enemy reconnaissance and security forces to find the enemy main body and to determine enemy
  weaknesses for exploitation. The reconnaissance is focused on enemy forces versus the terrain and typically
  seeks some level of decisive engagement. The end state of the reconnaissance is either extraction of the
  reconnaissance in force or exploitation by a follow-on force.
  3-74. The enemy situation, size of the zone, and the commander’s follow-on concept of the operation
  drives the task organization and scheme of maneuver. The less that is known about the enemy, the greater
