33rd RECONNAISSANCE TROOP
The old horse soldiers were the eyes of the
generals in older wars. They swept out in reconnaissance, probing far into
enemy territory and reporting back. The 33rd Reconn Troop performed these
very same duties for the 33rd Infantry Division. Speed and mobility were
the chief weapons although they were armed with carbines and 37mm cannons.
Their chief duty was reconnaissance and observation. If at all possible,
action with the enemy was avoided. Their first responsibility was to bring
back the information vitally needed by the top command.
