General
The RV provides an effective platform for RSTA Squadrons and battalion scouts to perform reconnaissance and surveillance operations. The RV accommodates seven personnel, including crew.
The platform is a key enabler for both sensor and HUMINT focused surveillance and intelligence operations.
The recce troop is organized into a headquarters section, a mortar section and three recce platoons. Each of the recce platoons is organized with four Stryker reconnaissance vehicles, mounting either an M2 .50 cal or a Mk 19 40mm grenade launcher; the lead truck mounts a long range advance scout surveillance system alongside its main weapon. Each vehicle carries a squad consisting of a 3-man vehicle crew and a 4-man scout squad for dismounted reconnaissance (6-man squad if augmented with linguist). Each recce squad in the platoon has assigned a human intelligence collector (35M HUMINT). The mortar section consists of four 120-mm self-propelled mortars (Stryker variant) and a fire direction center.
