I understand from reading 'Task Force Dagger' that a few off the early 'Blue on Blues' were caused by the ground operators miss reading their GPS. Aparently when switching between modes it defaults to show your position, rather then the previously calculated enemy position. When under fire it would be easy to make a mistake as sadly shown in the book.

I truely hope training, software upgrades or new GPS equipment have prevented this from happening agian.
