That may well be possible SSG(P) (Join to see) but the incident is still under investigation. My oldest son served with 3/75 ranger from 2008 to 2011 and I had a friend killed in Central America while assigned to 1st Ranger battalion in the mid-1980s by friendly fire - during a olive-fire exercise.
