For examply if a player has sent some of his troops away from their original positions to fend off an attack at another location, once those units are spotted their original position also becomes known to the opponent. And by seeing the original position of those troops, the opponent can deduce for example the locations of defensive lines and more importantly, where the said defensive line has been weakened.

Naturally only happens in assault/defence situations as those are the only ones where troops are dug in.

Revetments and foxholes are not units - they are part of the owner. Spot Fred, you also spot Fred's foxhole even if he left it on the other side of the map.
