    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
