  * Inspect and classify all bridges in the zone.
  * Inspect and classify all overpasses, underpasses, and culverts.
  * Locate fords, crossing sites, or obstacle bypasses in the zone.
  * Locate and clear all mines, obstacles, and barriers in the zone.
  * Report reconnaissance information.
  * Reconnoiter all terrain in the zone.
  * Locate bypass around built-up areas, obstacles, and contaminated areas.
  * Reconnoiter specific terrain in the zone.
  * Reconnoiter defiles along the route. Clear them of enemy and obstacles or locate a bypass.
  Organization of Forces for a Zone Reconnaissance
  12-47. Several subordinate units operate abreast within their assigned area when performing a zone
  reconnaissance. Commanders directing their forces to perform a zone reconnaissance designate a maneuver
  reserve when they expect to encounter significant enemy forces. That reserve should contain significant
  combat power. For example, armored company teams normally perform this task for a cavalry squadron in
  an armored BCT. Units conducting a zone reconnaissance ensure fires assets can adequately support
  throughout the execution of the operation.
  Control Measures for a Zone Reconnaissance
  12-48. Commanders control the performance of zone reconnaissance by assigning areas to units conducting
  the reconnaissance. They may designate their zone by designating lateral boundaries, lines of departure, and
  LOAs. Units conducting zone reconnaissance can further divide their zone with additional lateral boundaries
  to define subordinate unit’s zones. Figure 12-1 is an example of a sketch showing how commanders control
  zone reconnaissance. The primary difference between an area reconnaissance and a zone reconnaissance is
  that a zone reconnaissance typically involves larger areas than those associated with the performance of area
  reconnaissance.
