I've taught myself to always keep my head moving from left to right like clockwork, unless I need to watch my footing. A good scan of an area can save you a lot of pain later.

If you know where a target is, that is when you should be scanning for secondary targets that are trying to flank you - you should be able to track the primary's movement with your perhipheral vision after you mark their location. So essentially after you make contact, ignore the contact for a few seconds and take the time to look around every once in a while. If you see another OpFor comign up on a side, perform a strategic withdrawl to decrease the angle that they have on you and force them to regroup so that you have a chance to take one of them out when you set up a quick ambush.

^Well at least that's what I do.
