Since camouflage allows a person to conceal their position, they need to be close to the target they are trying to observe. It also works the other way, camouflage makes the observers harder to see for the target which allows for better and closer reconnaissance of a certain objective. (Mason n.p.) Since camouflage allows forces to move closer than before they can now get better intelligence and even save lives because of this information. Although this only works with proper camouflaging…

By the end of 1914, as the frontlines became static and it became apparent that traditional forms of reconnaissance such as cavalry were useless. The cavalry would be killed by enemy fire before gaining any insight into enemy movements. Thus, cameras were mounted to planes and pilots were given the mission of aerial surveillance. The plane’s capacity for observation…

begin. The OPORD should have been clearer and dispersion of this basic information should have been handled to the lowest level. Before the first D day multiple reconnaissance teams were inserted around the valley. They were placed in strategic locations so that they could report enemy movement, size, and activity. Even with the reconnaissance teams in place there was still no concise agreement on the number of opposing soldiers in the valley and in the mountains surrounding. Opening up the…
