ALL maneuver battalions in Vietnam had a HHC (Headquarters and Headquarters Company/or an HHT). ALL HHC/HHT companies had a scout section/platoon. Scout=Reconnaissance. Reconnaissance is also the "JOB" of the United States Cavalry. They conduct "Area Reconnaissance"; "Zone Reconnaissance"; etc. Your talking hundreds of different units; and thousands upon thousands of men.
"IF" they received any medals, they received them them just like any other GI in the Nam.
