Identify key signs of enemy presence during a patrol.

Identifying key signs of enemy presence during a patrol is crucial for maintaining situational awareness and ensuring the safety of the patrol team. The presence of unexploded ordnance, tracks, signs of recent movement, and surveillance equipment clearly indicates potential enemy activity in the area.

Unexploded ordnance serves as a direct indicator of recent combat or hostile actions and often signifies that the area has been contested. Tracks and signs of recent movement can reveal that the enemy has operated in that territory, helping patrollers understand the likelihood of encountering enemy forces. Surveillance equipment, such as cameras or listening devices, indicates an enemy's effort to monitor movements, confirming that they may be nearby and observing the patrol’s activities.

Together, these signs provide the necessary intelligence that can inform tactical decisions, help patrol members stay alert, and strategize on the best course of action to ensure their safety and mission success.
