Is parking a Humvee with the hood open while in the field a thing?

Back in the day when we would goto the field we were told to park our Humvees with the hood open to prevent detection from the glare off the windshield.
Has anyone one else heard of this? I've never seen it done since.

We always did it with our 1/4 ton jeeps and other tactical vehicles. The windshield is the largest reflective surface on your vehicle, and reflections can reveal your position to your enemies.

Yes for the tactical vehicles and 2 1/2 ton trucks. 5 ton and Hemmit's we had camp bags strapped to the roof for deployment. Every Unit on Bragg did it in the 90s.

80's & 90's. We carried Camo bags on the roof and would open the bag flap and drop it over the windshield. if we had an actual "got to go now" moment, we had them rigged with 550 cord so we could flop them back over the top.
