The Reconnaissance and Surveillance Regiment is Britain's latest surveillance and murder squad and like its progenitor, The Joint Communications Unit Northern Ireland, will have a large number of it's 600 members based on the island of Ireland.

The regiments objective is to infiltrate mosques and keep Muslims under surveillance. Attempts are being made to recruit those of Middle Eastern or Mediterranean appearance, as well as Muslims and members of ethnic minorities.

At present recruits to the new regiment are being assessed and undergoing a six month course in covert surveillance, communications, driving skills, first aid and close-quarter battle skills. Those who pass the course will be sent on an Arabic course at the Armed Forces language school at Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire. The regiment will be based in south Wales and report to the Director of Special Forces.

The unit will operate on a global basis and closely with Mossad and the C.I.A. although the bulk of its operations will be on the islands of Ireland and Britain. It will at first be formed from members of a highly secret surveillance agency - the Joint Communications Unit Northern Ireland and all three branches of the British armed forces. The Joint Communications Unit organised the massacre of three unarmed IRA members in Gibraltar in 1988 and was also behind the Loughgall massacre in County Tyrone, in 1987 where eight IRA members were ambushed and massacred.
