Hi,

Reconnaissance means preliminary research or investigation of something. So it can be an apt sentence depends upon the area which he mentioned.

I feel it can be used.

Reconnaissance is a noun, and in this sentence you are using it as a verb. But maybe in the military it is sometimes used as a verb. Sometimes nouns are used as verbs just for convenience according to how they are needed.

I think I would not hesitate to use the word that way... as a verb. I think it's okay. It's a good word.
