Had a similar experience at Ft. McCoy, WS. My unit had established a site just down slope from a sandy hilltop. All but that hilltop was heavily wooded. It was nearly dusk, when a Huey landed on that hilltop. It was not one of the choppers organic to our ASA unit. Our MP's swarmed him, including a jeep with mounted M-60.

After a short interrogation by one of our CI warrants it was determined the pilot was lost, and didn't want to call his unit for help. He claimed that we'd camouflaged so well that he knew there had to be a unit there. One of the warrants took a map up the hill to show the pilot where he was, and sent him on his way.

His comment about over camouflaging was brought up in our after mission report.

Me too! I had a jammer setup on a hilltop. Helicopter lands and the pilot walks over and asks me if “we” (me and my partner sitting in a jeep) were the Air TOC.

Um, no :)
