Too Obvious that the Italian Writers, Directors KNOW NOTHING or are not listening to, or those bellow know nothing either

Having dealt with this too many times as a U.S. Military Officer, the mistakes are obvious
Standard Written Operating Procedures
The Commanding Officer of the Unit of the Deceased Service Members is informed of the Deaths, and Circumstances based in the Preliminary Investigation Results. The Base Commander is informed by that Unit's Commanding Officer of Deaths within their Command, the Base Commander does NOT have access to the information directly, as "Does NOT have a Need to Know" especially pending the Final Investigation Reports that will be provided only to the Units Chain of Command.
A Survivor Assistance Officer and the Base Chaplin (usually Christian, can be Jewish or even Muslim) goes to the Address of the Family of the Deceased Service Member. Notifies the Family of their Service Members Death, offers Condolences, the Survivor Assistance Officer usually from the Service Members Unit explains to the Family Members what happens next, sequence of Events.
The Base Commander of Garrison Command hosts the Memorial Service, Enlisted and Non Commissioned Officers of Garrison Command are assigned to prepare the Memorial Service, usually with a Second Lieutenant, Grade O-1, Assigned as Officer In Charge (OIC), is provided Funds for the Food of the Reception.
Memorial Service Programs are printed.
The Base U.S. Military Officer usually a "Chaplin" starts the Memorial Service with a Prayer.
The Base Commander says the Obvious of why they are having the Memorial Service.
The Unit Commanding Officer reads the Rank of Service Members and names of the Deceased Service Members, as a Roll Call, multiple times (usually 3 times). The Platoon Leader or Non Commissioned Officer of that Service Member's Chain of Command says "Not Present Sir", "Killed In Action Sir". The Commanding Officer Orders Present Arms to salute the photographs of the Units Killed In Action, rifle with identification tags, helmet, boots. Usually, "Taps" is played by a bugler, after Taps, the Commanding Officer Orders "Order Arms".
The Base Chaplin says another Prayer
The Base Commanding Officer then offers the Reception.
Hours after the Reception the Service Members Dependents are given Airline Tickets to their Home Of Record Address. Usually, NOT allow to remain there at a Foreign Nation, they were told this was going to happen by the Survivor Assistance U.S. Military Officer, and started packing bags after being told of their Service Members Death, and given printed U.S. Military Orders, that also Authorize a Unit Military Officer to Supervise and to have Movers pack up their Household Goods to be shipped to them at their Home Of Record or where ever they Request.
"Stateside" another U.S. Military Officer is appointed and provided all the Details of the Unit's Appointed Survivor Assistance Officer. The Survivor Assistance Officer does everything, Receipt of the Deceased from the Escort Officer, Administrative Forms, Life Insurance, Burial Arrangements as said by the Dependents, Stateside Ceremonies, even Dependents meeting their Deceased Service Member at the Airport, survivor Benefits, Transportation, Honor Guard(s) at the Airport and Memorial Service Taps played, Rifle Salute (rounds fired) U.S. Flag Folded and spent round cases put into Folded U.S. Flag and presented by U.S. Military Officer or Non Commissioned Officer usually one or more Grades or Ranks higher than the Deceased to the Family Member(s).
Based on the Ribbons, Decorations, Awards, Colonel Sarah Wilson is wearing she would never have been promoted from U.S. Army Officer Grade O-2, First Lieutenant, to Grade O-3, U.S. Army "Captain". Having been on Promotion Boards from Enlisted and NCO Rank E-5 to U.S. Military Officer Grade O-5, too obvious, what Sarah Wilson would have been REQUIRED by her Branch (Logistics as Ordnance (branch I started with as U.S. Army Officer 1980s, almost pink "Shoulder Boards"), Transportation (Brick Red and Golden Yellow Piping), Quarter Master (Buff) her dark red "Shoulder Boards" after Logistics became one Branch) within the Branch of Service U.S. Army to have as indicated by what she is missing to be Promoted, U.S. Army Officer Professional Development Schools, especially during Iraq and Afghanistan.
Even new U.S. Military Officers as Grade O-1, U.S. Army "Company Grade", 2nd Lieutenants, KNOW not to be UCMJ Punishable Openly "Insubordinate", no matter what happens, happened, this is especially true at Combat Arms Units and NEVER going to happen with U.S. Army Rangers and U.S. Army Special Forces as Physically and Psychologically conditioned against Physical Pain and Psychological Stress. "Field Grade" Officers like Lieutenant Colonel Richard Poythress. Grade O-5, would NEVER openly, publicly be "Insubordinate", "Disrespect of a Superior Officer", "Conduct Unbecoming of an Officer" So yes, so Obvious they do not know anything.
