The term "recon" is not really a word; it's not so much slang as it is just a shortened, informal version of the words "reconnaissance" (a noun) and "reconnoiter" (a verb)-- depending on which one it means.

The gist of both words, however, involves an inspection or assessment of a situation, so the word "survey," which is spelled the same as both a noun and a verb, is probably the ideal synonym. You could substitute the word "survey" for "recon" in any sentence, whether "recon" is being used to represent "reconnaissance" or "reconnoiter."
