History
"..."

-...

The Angel Recon Teams are Task Force Eve's equivalent of the "Ranger Fleets" of GVAW. The ability to strike any location with hundreds of light attack vehicles was not only a good disruption tactic, but also provided Aquilan commanders with large amounts of information which could turn the tide of a battle. After the Great Voshkod Aquilan War, the ad hoc Ranger fleets were assembled into proper battalions, their innovative equipment configurations canonized and their vehicles upgraded considerably over the years.

Angel Recon Teams is an all-women outfit exclusively to Aya Breane's Task Force, with a gruelling training course and a highly competitive community surrounding it. They have picked up a (well deserved) reputation for being tough, professional, and probably a bit unhinged; Angel Recon Teams compare their job to extreme sports, and most of them are adrenaline junkies in some way; if they weren't before their first deployment, they certainly will be after the thrill of driving directly into the enemy guns!

Once they join a campaign, Angel Recon Teams have a deceptively simple mode of operation. They load their vehicles with as much gear, fuel, ammunition and rations as they can possibly fit, and then begin to drive directly towards the enemy lines. Local commanders guide them towards trouble spots or areas where there is little intelligence; they quickly blaze through the area, shooting anything that so much as twitches, then report the engagement back to headquarters.

At this point, most units would dig in to see the enemy off and to hold the ground they took. By contrast, Recon units continue to drive deep into enemy lines, provoking the enemy to chase them while they destroy enemy infrastructure or simply disrupt their lines. As mobility is key, Recon fleets stay on the move for twenty four hours a day, by driving in shifts and consuming unhealthy amounts of stimulants.

Typically, a Angel Recon fleet only turns around once they start to run out of fuel, though this is not always the case; 4th Angel Recon's A Company managed to stay behind Destroyers lines for nearly a month by ambushing Voshkod convoys in the night and manually siphoning the fuel out of the abandoned vehicles in 2002 V.C. After they return to base, the average Angel Recon Soldier will sleep for roughly twenty hours, eat a proper meal for the first time in weeks, take a long shower, and trade in all her broken equipment for replacement, before setting back out on the road for another mission.
