Have you ever looked at the training you are conducting and tried to wargame (imagine) how it would help or hurt you? Have you looked at all the possible scenarios you could find yourself in during an economic collapse? How about a simple natural disaster that delays or prevents Law Enforcement and emergency services from responding? I am willing to bet that a lot of my readers have thought very little about the realistic, or even the extreme situations they could find themselves in when things truly get bad. But, the definition of bad can be quite subjective, and everyone will define it differently. Someone living in downtown LA may define bad differently than a resident of a Midwestern suburban neighborhood. Keep that in mind throughout this article.

In a fighting force, recon teams have the power to drive operational and even strategic decisions through supplying accurate and timely intel to commanders. In rare cases, conventional recon elements take action against the enemy with permission/orders from higher, though it is very rare. I believe that having recon elements capable of filling more roles than just snooping and pooping is the most efficient way to operate. Though, there are scholars out there that feel that recon is and should be a very myopic specialty. I think there is enough evidence to support the fact that multi-purpose recon elements is the best way to go. The Marines are a perfect example with their Recon Battalions being Special Operations Capable, IMHO.
