Normally 6 man ish, depends on the mission, have a commander, a sgt/cpl with a 2nd in command (2ic) a cpl or lcpl. A radio operator (me) a support gunner and 1 or 2 more for support.
Can't really give you much more details apart from being lightly armed with around 6 mags each 5 personal and 1 extra for the gunner, some smoke and grenades just incase. They'll take a daysack a light weight rucksack with a little food and some warm and waterproof clothes. (Most of the stuff would be left in a safe area)
It's called a recce different squadrons do different things, a royal marine recon might be for days and days and they have heavy packs but if you're in the field and planning an attack or finding the enemy the above description will cover it.
It's not about fighting it's about watching, you get contacted, you get out.
