So monitoring at that stage was very important for them, that was in the beginning stages.  Special operations, with all respect, doesn't take place over night.  There are some operations that you plan which could take you up to five months to get everything into place, it simply can't happen overnight.  It's not simply a enemy target on the one side and yours on the other side and you launch an attack, it simply doesn't work that way.  You have to find out where is the enemy, who is the enemy, all their routines etcetera, etcetera, and only then can you start placing yourself in position, finding out what would be an appropriate time for an attack.  So it's a very time consuming thing.
