My 0.02:

FWIW, I can't say as the movement they taught on our Recce courses was
the normal hoppin and boppin of our infantry section manoevres. The
leopard crawl is very very slow, but very very quiet. In a hot forest
with unknown enemies present, even normal infantry would tend to move
"cautiously" and try to be quiet. But even then, maximum stealth is
unlikely because it is S-L-O-W-E-R than molasses. But if you *know*
the enemy sentry is just 10m ahead through the foliage, your approach
(if you want a silent takedown) is the stealthiest method you can
employ, despite the pace.
