Default Infrastructure Reconnaissance

I'm not sure how this became public information , but it appears to be an "early draft" Field Manual of how to conduct "Infrastructure reconnaissance" I think it's an interesting real-world illustration of the skills needed to assess a damaged Nation

Matt,

Thanks a lot for the great read! A great look into the mindset of SWEAT/IR (Sewage, Water, Electricity, Trash/Infrastructure Reconnaissance).

I feel many games/players treat recce/recon of postwar communities have an approach resembling Traveller's IISS, Star Trek "away teams" or Stargate SG-1 in that recon is conducted in a manner similar to exploring a new planet and contacting an alien race, right down to issuing tailored Contact Kits and having specialist "contact" personnel all over the place. Granted, after 150 years regions and communities could very well resemble another planet and an alien race, but that should not be the assumption for 3-5 years after the war.

This mindset is more down-to-earth (literally and metaphorically) and what I imagine the Morrow Project would be like.

Tony
