Dawn Patrol

Dawn Patrol refers to the early morning activities undertaken by military or surveillance personnel to monitor and secure a specific area before regular operations begin. Historically, it involved early reconnaissance missions done at dawn to gather intelligence, detect threats, or assess conditions. In modern contexts, it can also describe early shifts of personnel, such as pilots or security teams, who prepare for the day’s operations. The term underscores the importance of proactive, pre-emptive actions taken at the start of the day, often in anticipation of potential risks or threats.
