They could not see Well enough to know if the tanks were iraqi or american but the gunners assumed the tanks were iraqi and did no to want to risk being hit first. Curtin and other army officials said Many other changes Are being made to minimize the risk of fratricide. Some already Are in place. Among the changes a requiring Battle group leaders to More fully Ana precisely examine and understand Friendly fire incidents that occur in training sessions. A improving coordination among the services so that joint military operations result in less confusion and miscommunication. A using Remote controlled tanks and other vehicles in exercises at the National training Center at fort Irwin calif., to help soldiers learn to identify Friendly vehicles in All Light and weather conditions and in unexpected circumstances.
