MRR provides information within the

MRR provides information within the company and scout platoon area of operations, develops information, creates maneuver space, and enables the engagement of enemy on terrain and conditions favorable to the company. Normally, cavalry troops operate within an area of operations that is usually as wide as a battalion's area. MRR extends the range in which the cavalry troop can make favorable contact during R&S missions; enabling the troopcommander to provide reaction time and maneuver space for BCT elements. Employing MRR enables the troop commander to prepare to employ supporting capabilities instead of reacting to scout platoon and scout section chance contacts and begin to defeat enemy reconnaissance or security elements earlier. MRR also enables the troop commander to fill gaps with a surveillance system when the troop is dispersed across terrain with multiple compartments or is operating in complex terrain.
