Sorry I didn't stipulate that.

A mission of this size will include several elements from a division/regiment. It is not all that far-fetched to imagine an element, in complete radio communication with the main body, being at the wrong location and attacking when the main body does. After all, it's a desert. One desert "safehouse for foreign fighters" is bound to look like another desert house.

If that clears up what I was trying to get across, go ahead and try running the possibility numbers now. They look to be about 50/50 to this jungle-trained tactician. The fog of war can get awfully thick, particularly in the dark.

All that I heard mentioned so far were "U.S. military aircraft" -- very possibly choppers -- circling the wedding party. I just wonder if any were missing at the right target.
