Being aware of what has happened, and what is happening, your surroundings, is called situational awareness in the military.
It doesn't matter how old you are, how long you have been in the military, it is a constant drumbeat because unless you are constantly vigilant you stand to lose a lot, maybe your life.
A lot of military resources are devoted to situational awareness because that is how you defeat the enemy.
No different here except on a smaller scale.
