According to press reports, the US Army reprimanded four officers and “called on the Air Force to investigate the actions” of Predator operators after their actions resulted in a strike on a civilian convoy in Afghanistan.

The order to attack was based on inaccurate information from the crew at an Air Force base in Nevada that was remotely controlling a Predator drone monitoring the convoy and on flawed analysis of the situation by NATO commanders, Army Maj. Gen. Timothy McHale, who led the investigation, wrote in the report…

Information that the convoy was anything other than an attacking force was ignored or downplayed by the Predator crew…

It does not appear the helicopter crews who fired the shots were reprimanded, as they acted on the best information provided to them (and ceased fire on their own after seeing evidence of non-combatants).  Instead, command and control — and the ISR provided by the Predator — were held responsible for the strike.

One interesting aspect of the accusation against the Predator crew is that virtually anyone involved in the conflict can see the same feed as the operators — which is potentially why the Army faulted the local command post as well.
