Winning the Collection and Reconnaissance Fight Before the Battle: The Marine Corps Reconnaissance Regiment

Abstract

Currently the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) is not organized to train, manage, and employ the MAFTF's collection assets effectively to meet current or future requirements, or establish and maintain battlefield information dominance in the security area. The creation of a Reconnaissance Regiment that succeeds in managing and tasking the Marine Corps' reconnaissance and collection assets to support the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) in managing battlefield information dominance requirements is necessary to win the counter reconnaissance fight and set conditions for decisive actions across the Range of Military Operations (ROMO). Unless the Marine Corps correctly identifies the issues and focuses reconnaissance and collection assets under a unity of effort and command, the forces will continue to fail to meet the requirement of quicker dissemination and action to out-cycle new emerging threats.
