| | Review of Free Fire Zone Vietnam Wargaming Rules |
 | | The game system was deliberately simplified to allow players to get on with the game rather than trying to operate unrealistic and complex fire requests. | | | There is a 'victory point penalty' for using support fire, designed to rein in the over zealous user and prevent the game from bogging down. | | | Free Fire Zone Version 2.1 is available from Brookhurst Hobbies and I extend my thanks to Henry at Brookhurst Hobbies for the opportunity to see the new publication first hand. |

| | Free Fire Zone |
| | Sometimes we would get very specific targets based upon reconnaissance or intelligence, but usually we would get a 'free fire zone', an area several kilometers square in which there was known or suspected enemy activity and no friendly forces or civilians. | | | On a third mission we really got lucky; we had discovered a string of seven WBLC's in our free fire zone. | | | They were in the middle of a long straight canal with little cover and nowhere to go. |

| | Thanh Phong was behind enemy lines in what is known as a free-fire zone. | | | With his column halted, he angrily asked his point man to go forward to find out who had violated strict rules against operating in an area already being patrolled by friendly forces. | | | Just as they neared the end of their descent, intense enemy fire was directed at them, and Lt. (jg.) Kerrey received massive injuries from a grenade which exploded at his feet and threw him backward onto the jagged rocks. |

| | Friendly Fire: Time For Action |
| | Traditional methods used during the Gulf War to lessen the chance of fire on friendly forces, such as the fluorescent orange panels and the inverted "vee" painted on vehicles, were not effective due to the prolonged periods of limited visibility in which even thermal sights were not able to distinguish friend from foe. | | | To the Pentagon, friendly fire describes the inadvertent fire by military forces upon their own or allied forces during combat operations- -it does not describe deaths from unexploded allied ordnance and mines or non-battle deaths from accidents. | | | We must realize that friendly fire can never be totally eliminated from the battlefield due to the inability to prevent human error in the "fog of war." A reasonable goal then is to take multiple measures within the human and technological dimensions to reduce the probability of friendly fire. |

| | For the past twenty-four years I have lived with the term "friendly fire." I first became aware of it when a military officer handed me a telegram telling me that my son had died in Vietnam as a result of friendly fire. | | | When Peg and Gene Mullen became disenchanted with Friendly Fire, it was only partly because the writer from down in Iowa City had listened carefully to many versions of Michael Mullen's killing-including at some length Colonel Schwarzkopf's. | | | Unfriendly Fire implicitly affirms this conflict between "telling the truth' and "telling a story." Nonetheless, Peg Mullen remains true to her self-a brave, determined, honest, deeply scarred mother. |

| | In era of high-tech warfare, 'friendly fire' risk grows csmonitor.com |
| | Such "friendly fire" is at issue in a military proceeding that began Monday in Louisiana to determine whether two American pilots should be court martialed for accidentally killing four Canadian troops and injuring eight in a bomb attack near Kandahar, Afghanistan, last April. | | | As the US prepares for war in Iraq, the issue of friendly fire is much on the minds of military leaders and defense experts - particularly since such incidents, as a portion of overall casualties, are growing. | | | So friendly fire incidents and other war-zone accidents - which can be much harder to deal with psychologically and politically - are becoming a greater fraction of the whole. |

| | Actually, as many now assert, and the Army agrees, Cpl. Tillman was killed by friendly fire as he was mistaken for enemy soldiers who were ambushing his unit, and while he was trying to organize an effective response to the ambush. | | | So were many of his comrades who died in the jungles and on the beaches--and I am sure from other "friendly fire." Some 40,000 of our men in World War II died from friendly fire. | | | Of all the terrible consequences of military combat, perhaps the worst are losses caused by that awful euphemism, "friendly fire." |

| | I have little doubt Tillman’s death was the result of friendly fire in a confusing situation where life and death decisions were made a split second and facts and communication were difficult, at best, to acquire. | | | Others, if the accept the friendly fire description of events, can demand that unwarranted disciplinary action be taken against others involved, as they simply refuse to understand the extreme stress everyone involved as dealing with at the time and they demand, above all other things, the naming of a scapegoat. | | | Jakemeister, the point is not that Tillman died by friendly fire or by enemy fire. |

| | The war-time occurrence of "friendly fire" reminds us that not all the bombs are dropped on the enemy On April 17, 2002, American fighter-plane pilot Harry Schmidt dropped a bomb that killed 4 Canadians and wounded 8 more in a "friendly-fire" bombing incident in Afghanistan. | | | In the recent war in Iraq, a number of American and other coalition forces suffered casualties from "friendly fire." Friendly-fire is when you are shot by a fellow-soldier or ally who thinks you are the enemy. | | | The United States Air Force spared Schmidt and fellow-pilot Bill Umbach of the Illinois Air National Guard from court martial, but both are receiving other lesser forms of punishment because of the incident (The Tennessean, 6/20/03, p 13A). |
