I’d consider a bonus to spotting/hearing if you’re in soft cap or bareheaded. The Kevlar tended to mess with your directional hearing. Much better in a patrol cap.
When doing mounted recon we’d periodically stop, shut down, and take off the CVCs for 5-10 minutes to listen. Worked especially well in cold weather because somebody was always running an engine for heat. Also would get down off the track and and 15-25m away to smell for food, cigarettes, etc.
