I know that this is not necessarily Halo related, but what is the difference between scouting and Reconnaissance? I've been going through several of the vehicle articles, and a few list both as their purposes. Missing Mandible (talk) 00:20, 24 January 2013 (EST)

I'm not an expert, but as I understand it reconnaissance is conducted specifically to gain information Scouting is similar, but in a smaller, less deliberate scale. Scout patrols, for example, test enemy defences and determine where their lines are. Reconnaissance patrols gather as much information as they can without engaging or giving away their presence. -- Qura 'Morhek ^{The Autocrat of Morheka} 04:08, 24 January 2013 (EST)
