  4-91. Based on their forward proximity in the area of operations, reconnaissance forces may often be the
  first friendly units to encounter SOF units. (Refer to chapter 6 for more details.) Conventional reconnaissance
  forces may operate in conjunction with SOF. Depending on the command relationship, a reconnaissance
  handover may be required to conduct a relief in place with SOF, conduct joint operations with SOF, or in
  passing through SOF areas. Units use the same planning steps listed above when conducting an SOF
  reconnaissance handover.
