How 2 Squadron SAS Conducted 'Recce-Ambush' Patrols...A Tactic No Other Allied Unit Dared Try

How 2 Squadron SAS Conducted 'Recce-Ambush' Patrols...A Tactic No Other Allied Unit Dared Try In April 1968, 2 Squadron SAS began conducting "recce-ambush" patrols - a hybrid tactic where patrols carried out reconnaissance for several days, then set ambushes on possible tracks they'd been observing. These patrols were fundamentally different from earlier operations where a patrol would either conduct reconnaissance OR set ambushes, never both. This aggressive innovation came when 1ATF commander Brigadier Ron Hughes wanted to use SAS to harass VC bases and attack supply lines. The technique quickly produced results through ambushing VC, capturing documents, finding enemy trails, and even attacking bunker systems while still maintaining intelligence collection.
