There is a perceived need for a third regular recce regiment for the rapid reaction corps.
I think we were perfectly right in making this recce.
We did a "recce", and he came back.
When the recce has returned, it will define exactly what is required.
It would help if we did not also have to replace what by then was an antiquated, unreliable recce system, becoming more and more vulnerable to an enemy's defences.
The recce party made its report yesterday.
Currently it is a unit with four battalions; an armoured infantry battalion, a light (motorized) recce battalion and two training battalions.
The transportation took longer than expected, which forced the recce of the rally to be put back by a day.
