My read is that Franks didn't want the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment getting into anything it couldn't handle until more support could be brought up. Overly cautious? Maybe, but he was the Commander on the ground at the time and based his decisions on informatiion he had at the time..

During annual training there is nothing funnier than witnessing a blue on blue engagement when they had the opfor between them somehow disappear...

During actual combat there is nothing more frustrating, senseless, and demoralizing than a blue on blue incident.

Not much can be done for it, unfortunately, except more training and expecting the worst.
