It's a detector unit, like the radar van, but you can also stick 2 infantry
inside (or 5 if you are Shin Fai) who can fire out the windows. Unlike the radar
van, the listening outpost also cloaks when it "sets up" (about 2 seconds after
stopping). I'm not entirely sure if the outpost detects when it is moving,
seeing as how the radar thingy on the top folds down, but it probably does.

Use this unit if you are afraid of stealthed units or have to target artillery
or air against stealthed defenses (i.e. against GLA). It has a pretty long
range, but remember that other units such as the troop crawler and the chaingun
on the overlord can also detect stuff.
