Reconnaissance During the Advance of a Combined-Arms (Tank) Army from the Depth and Its Commitment to an Engagement

As a result of operational training, staffs and troops have acquired
experience in the organization and conduct of reconnaissance during an
advance covering great distances and during the commitment of the troops to
an engagement; our military press is also giving considerable prominence to
an analysis of this problem. Unfortunately, however, the discussion of
these questions most often pertains to the conditions that prevail when all
army troops are in a state of constant readiness or of simultaneously
completed mobilization.
