Combat Observation Team

A Combat Observation Team (COT) is a specialized military unit tasked with gathering intelligence and monitoring enemy movements during operations. Typically, a COT consists of highly trained personnel who use advanced technologies and techniques to observe and report on the battlefield from a safe distance. Their primary goal is to provide real-time situational awareness to commanders, helping to inform strategic decisions. COTs work closely with other military units, ensuring effective communication and coordination, ultimately contributing to mission success while minimizing risks to their own forces.
