If you have them, make sure you are using your air recon assets. Also units with a "recon" tag will help you gain information on the enemy. Also look at the "patrolling" function.

Good luck.

how does the patrolling command work?

It's under the "Command" menu at the top. From the manual...

It is possible to put a unit with men (not vehicles or guns and not HQ units) into a Patrolling state. To do this requires the full movement allowance of the unit and the unit cannot be Broken. While Patrolling, the unit will negate the ability of any Partisan unit within Deception range of having any Deception effects. In addition, a Patrolling unit will be able to spot any enemy unit within 2 hexes, regardless of line-of-sight restrictions. While in a Patrolling state, a unit has a 3/4 assault and fire value. It costs 1/2 of the movement allowance of the unit to recall Patrols. This is done automatically when the unit moves
