Which criterion is associated with mounted reconnaissance?

• A. Time is limited.
• B. Long distance mounted movement.
• C. Stealth not a concern.
• D. Detailed info not required.

Answer: (D)

Mounted reconnaissance focuses on delivering a fast, actionable picture of the battlespace to support quick decisions while keeping mobility and concealment. Because the point of this kind of recce is to maintain tempo, the most fitting criterion is that detailed information is not required. You collect just enough to indicate enemy disposition, likely routes, and obstacles, then pass along a concise assessment that lets commanders act without delay. The emphasis is on speed and usefulness over exhaustive data, so you’re not bogged down in collecting every possible detail. Stealth remains important in reconnaissance, so saying stealth isn’t a concern would not fit, and while long-distance movement and time constraints shape how you operate, they don’t define the level of detail you’re expected to produce.
