Armoured Reconnaissance Battalion conducts tactical training



Tactical training is currently underway at Serbian Armed Forces training areas near Niš for personnel of the Armoured Reconnaissance Battalion, focusing on the execution of intelligence support tasks during Army operations.
   The purpose of the training is to maintain and enhance the unit members’ proficiency in intelligence gathering under various tactical conditions, as well as to induct new personnel into the unit.
 
During field activities, scouts are practicing tactical actions, observation and data collection procedures, as well as conducting patrols and ambushes, utilising the BRDM-2MS armoured reconnaissance vehicle, the unit’s primary combat vehicle.
   Special attention is focused on training officers and soldiers who have recently joined the unit and been assigned as drivers and gunners on the combat vehicle. In addition to carrying out reconnaissance missions, they are being trained in the proper and safe operation of the armoured reconnaissance vehicle and its combat employment.
 
Next, the unit personnel will undergo training in overcoming water obstacles using both standard-issue and improvised watercraft, followed by tactical exercises designed to assess the proficiency of the scouts and the unit in executing their assigned tasks.
   Conducting training under all condition, which members of the Armoured Reconnaissance Battalion undergo throughout the year, is crucial for maintaining the unit’s capability to provide reliable and verified intelligence, which is of great importance for the success of Serbian Armed Forces operations.
