Two technological additions spring to mind initially:
Regular checkpoints looking for non-standard issue equipment or technology.
Having an EEG built into your helmet or radio headset, transmitting data back home.
You're right, though, something that will work under all conditions has to be built into the standard operating procedures, be quick and decisive.
I would modify the standard team deployment so that each individual group would consist of at least three people, and that each group of three would have a twin unit, performing the same duties at a distance behind. The teams would keep an eye on each other, as well as team mates. Each team would be able to report on whether the other was missing members, or whether they'd been out of line of sight, or experiencing communication difficulties. Everyone would know that if you turned up alone, or without a team member, then it would be quarantine time.
Small units who've regularly worked together also get to know each other quite well, and non-nobbled members are then more likely to notice changes in behaviour. Having capable team members utilising heuristics would seem to be a broader, more effective approach than techniques against a specific technology.
