  • The United States Navy Combined Reconnaissance Team is an elite special operations force of the Naval Special Warfare Command and United States Special Operations Command. It is responsible for reconnaissance in littoral areas bordering coastal or ocean areas. Initially, the CRT is used for preliminary reconnaissance in collecting pertinent information about a beachhead in its permeability and usability for main landing assaults. The Navy rating for an enlisted member of the CRT is "Combined Reconnaissance Technician" and these Combined Reconnaissance Technicians are colloquially referred to as Navy Recon Technicians or Navy Recon Techs. The officer designator is "Combined Reconnaissance Officer." The CRT employs amphibious insertion methods utilizing either amphibious vehicles or rubber crafts. The Navy Recon Techs then apply skills in topographic and hydrographic surveys by charting and measuring water depths, submerged coral heads, and terrain inland; taking photographs and soil samples for permeability for amphibious tractors and landing craft parties. Their assignments include scouting or reconnoitering a planned, or potential landing site, and intelligence-gathering missions. The Combined Reconnaissance Team also evaluates beaches looking for exits off the hostile beaches inland, for contingency measures if a naval landing force were to necessitate a retreat. Most importantly, Navy Recon Techs compromise the locations of enemy forces, their strengths and weakness, and other importance in the follow-up of an amphibious assault.
