One account I read said that the CO's GPS locator was not working and he had not been issued a map for this area. The same account said he passed a stationary Marine unit outside the town. Maybe its just me, but if I had a support unit before passing through a combat unit my reaction would be to take a break and look up that Marine CO just to be sure I was where I was supposed to be.

Look, there's living witnesses to this. You can write up all the maintenance papers you want. It's not like they're time stamped and put into a hermetically sealed jar, in a vault, in the middle of the desert for future reference.

It's a miracle that there were any survivors!! Kudos to their rescuers.
