I have been doing a lot of research through all sorts of military regulation manuals, but I can't find the answer..
Imagine this scenario, a group of Canadian soldiers are walking through the desert at night, they notice movement in the darkness, how do they acknowledge who it is? Do they simply scream out "Identify yourselves!!!"? What if its an english speaking enemy who simply yells back "Im American!"? Are there any rules regarding how a soldier should approach this situation? Do they exchange some sort of passwords? How do they avoid friendly fire?
Anybody know? Anybody have a link to a rule which explains this situation?
Thank you very much, I have spent days looking for this answer, I hope someone can help.
