Perhaps I shouldn't have used the word "ambush" because truthfully I haven't been trained realistically for the situation.

I just thought of what the Aussie Peel back is usually used for. It still might be used in ambushes, but i'm not sure. What I am sure of is it's for when a recce runs into resistance. Obviously recce isn't supposed to run into the enemy, their supposed to be not seen, and not engage, however if a recce of say 3 runs into a platoon from one side for instance, an Aussie Peel Back would be the best bet.
