====In Real Life==== Much like other support units in Team Yankee, the scale has been horribly compressed to the point that artillery with a range of 60 kilometres is engaging the enemy at a few hundred meters. The Sayeret are no different. In the IDF's organization, 'Sayaret' literally translates to reconnaissance. In practice, the term refers to special forces and commandos, NOT conventional reconnaissance at the battalion or brigade levels. At best, they might be employed as deep recon forces at divisional levels, but even so, the IDF has dedicated special operations forces to conduct such operations. Sayaret Matkal is one of the most notorious units of the IDF, with a botched hostage rescue mission and many other successful raids under their belt. Their specialization (publicly) is special reconnaissance, but their skill set (based on previous operations) seems to align more with direct action missions. To simplify, their typical mission might be to sneak into a headquarters, kill the commanders and capture some intelligence. To Battlefront’s credit, this is one of the most accurate representation of special forces in battle. Small, stealthy and virtually useless in direct combat, their niche for unconventional warfare makes them one of the worst choices to bring against tanks, airplanes and everything the enemy force has to throw. Your [[Stormtrooper|Tempestus Scions]] might want to jump into the enemy’s back line, but real Sayaret forces would usually hit the commander (read: YOU) while the rest of the force was asleep, and as realistic as shiving your opponent before the game starts might be, most tournament organizers tend to frown on such behavior. In a Team Yankee sort of war, the Sayaret would be sitting around with a pile of backpack nukes that Israel doesn't officially have, waiting for the POTUS to ante-up. Unit designation aside, these jeeps were indeed used by recon units in the IDF's infantry battalions to cover the desert ahead of the main force with speed. They were crewed by infantrymen trained in reconnaissance who understoond how to operate a pair of binoculars, not special operators doing hit-and-run missions VERY far away from your battle.
