Wikipedia
Recce
In military operations, reconnaissance or scouting is the exploration of an area by military forces to obtain information about enemy forces, the terrain, and civil activities in the area of operations. In military jargon, the activity of reconnaissance is abbreviated to recce (British, Canadian and Australian English) and to recon (American English); derived from the root words reconnoitre and reconnoiter. The types of reconnaissance include patrolling the local area of operations and long-range reconnaissance patrols, which are tasks usually realized by U.S. Army Rangers, cavalry scouts, and military intelligence specialists, using navy ships and submarines, reconnaissance aircraft, satellites to collect raw intelligence; and establishing observation posts. Moreover, espionage is different from reconnaissance, because spies work as civilians in enemy territory.

recce
Recce is a term primarily used in the British military, short for "reconnaissance", which refers to the exploration or surveying of an area, typically conducted to gather military information about an enemy or a geographical area. This activity may involve scouting or spying in order to gather the required information. However, it can also be used in non-military settings such as film production where it refers to pre-filming visits to a location to assess its suitability for shooting.

Recce
Recce is a military term that has been borrowed by media production in the United Kingdom, derived from "reconnoitre" "reconnoiter", the verb form of "reconnaissance". It is a pre-filming visit to a location to work out its suitability for shooting, including access to necessary facilities and assessment of any potential lighting or sound issues. The term 'recce' is also used in radio and television production. Other examples of later media borrowing from film includes wildtrack which, in film production, was sound recorded without pictures for use in post-production later. In the US the term "site survey" is commonly used with the same meaning.
