Maybe I don't understand your question. I've heard the term used in Iraq (and it was taught in pre-deployment training) as 5 meter and 25 meter visual sweeps for IEDs or other suspicious items when ever you halt. As soon as you stop (or dismount although it can be done while in the vehicle) you look 360 about 5 meters out for suspicious items, then do the same approximately 25 meters out.
Am I even close to an answer? Is there a prize if I'm right?

This was an AFN commercial in Europe a few years ago.

Depends on the unit. For Ropers its the above. For Recon Marines the last five are airborne, scuba, Recon, Ranger. Although guys don't really go to Ranger like they use to. For Scout Snipers its just Scout Snipers five times.
For us it was always 25 for GP and 5 for Chesty, then 5 for Smedley, then 5 for Dan Daily, then 5 for Presley Obanan, then 5 for etc . . . until I get tired. Feet elevated on the Big Red Rock.

Chester Puller invented it after he was reincarnated into General Mattis.
