@jackcloud4728 look at minefields, why do you think they're effective? Because it forces an entire force to mind their own steps. It slows down an enemy. If you're going to commit forces to check every bush the conventional army is gonna just roll through and complete all their objectives while everyone is busy looking at the floor. The guys might not even be there. Let's be real, you can't just have a force committed to chasing spooks that might not even be there. Why leave security of camp/base with pre-established fields of fire and potentially walk into ambushes? The fact is that whenever you have a large concentration of forces you're gonna be watched one way or another. You will have your own people scouting ahead. The two opposing sides will have some sort of intelligence about each other. Making too much of an effort to hunt down people who won't fire at you is a waste. Let them watch and report. Hell, maybe feint the enemy by concentrating forces away from your objective so that they report what you want to be reported. Deception. There's no point in blacking out their activities because intelligence gathering and recon patrols are pretty basic military theory, most low-level training infantry manuals that are declassified talk about it, you can find the information in a book at your local library, all nations know it and it's been used for more than a thousand years.

Jack, that's perfect. Have the enemy waste their time checking every bush in the country.
