Formation reconnaissance regiment

The Formation Reconnaissance Regiment (Fmn Recce) is a fighting unit provided by the Royal Armoured Corps or Household Cavalry.

Formation reconnaissance regiments are intended to provide Armoured Reconnaissance for a higher-level formation, usually a division or a heavy brigade. In a large-scale defensive operation, they would delay attacking forces, whilst screening heavier units as they moved to engage the enemy.
