Despite the Protectorate's reliance on high technology, the Protectorate military is no less dependent on proper reconnaissance than any other army. While the Alliance prefers to utilize spies and SR-8 Thrush planes, and the Voshkod can easily turn one of their many surveillance satellites onto the battlefield, the Protectorate's lack of even radar has forced them to take a simpler solution; mount a group of trained soldiers on speedy motorcycles and dispatch them to speed across the battlefield.

Equipped with powerful radios to relay enemy positions and forces, the recon team speeds from position to position, most of the time fairly safely due to the lack of reaction time that the enemy has to recognize and target the threat. Despite this, the fog of war quickly renders such information moot, meaning that the gathered intel is best acted upon as quickly as possible.
