- Recondo is a G.I. Joe character from the A Real American Hero and G.I. Joe vs. Cobra series.
Nobody feels more at home in the jungle than Recondo does. He is completely in his element there. While other troopers might consider the jungle to be hostile and unforgiving, to him, it is like a friend and anyone else who breaks in are intruders. Even when outnumbered by enemies, he often finds a way to use the dangers of the jungle against them. His vast experience has earned him an instructor status at the Jungle Warfare Training Center.

Action Force (British) Comics continuity[]
Recondo first appears in Battle Action Force as an Australian who is recruited along Flash and Ripcord in Action Force (G.I. Joe's British name) under the command of Duke. After Zartan begins killing corporals, the other soldiers of the camp blame the three men (Flash, Recondo and Ripcord) of bringing bad luck to the camp, so they quit. However, when they discover that Cobra is planning to attack the camp, they return and warn everybody.
Just like Ripcord, Recondo feels uncomfortable wearing a helmet. Recondo also tends to call names: he names Duke "his grace" and the Cobra Troopers "Cobbers".
