I would say:
Local Intel
Fresh Tracks
Looking for things that don't belong
Looking for things that just popped out of nowhere
Something that doesn't look right
How would I do it - then look
Get to know the locals
Knowing your surroundings and your Spidey Sense...

Sounds like a fun and dangerous job. Talk about making a contribution to the war effort.

It'd be fun to booby trap these caches to kill the enemy when he comes back to dig them up. After a few of these, even the undiscovered caches would be suspect to the enemy. Unfortunately, you might accidentally kill an American patrol who wasn't in on the scheme.

I was thinking that with this being publicized the enemy will start rigging IED's to fake caches. Hope our guys are damn careful.
