Wheel Patrol Group*
*
Typically, when both light scout cars and a heavy armoured car were in use the troops would operate in a High/Low mix with the heavy cars providing overwatch fire support for the scout cars which led the recce. 
**
A typical road patrol would be : Ferret, Saladin, Ferret, Saladin moving in mutual bounding overwatch pairs, often called a "snake patrol" from the way these pairs bunched then expanded as they recced along the road. NB - the lead Ferret would only ever move forwards under the overwatch of the lead Saladin's gun, preferably under both Saladin's overwatch.
**
Here, a typical road patrol formation is represented, with a section of the assault platoon and an ATGM vehicle from the Squadron's ATGM platoon attached downwards to reinforce the recce patrol. 
**
These elements would tend to follow at the tail of the "snake", the ATGM unit often setting up where it could give overwatch to the operation, and the assault section being brought forwards when dismounted recce (e.g. of a building or small village) was required, or to take out any minor enemy A/T ambushes discovered.
