Reconnaissance Platoon soldier

Hi Lewis

Thanks for your question.

Infantry recce platoons come under a combat role.

To be a reconnaissance soldier, you first need to complete your 28 week Combat Infantryman Course at the Infantry training centre.

Once you have passed out of training, you will be allocated a company where you will gain the knowledge required to then go on a recce cadre. If successful you’ll then move in to the reconnaissance platoon.

Recce soldiers need to be fit, motivated and at the top of their game with a map and a compass.

Regards
J
