A report conducted by Army Brig. General Gary M. Jones found documents that show officers made erroneous reports about the friendly-fire death of former NFL player and Army ranger Cpl. Pat Tilman. The documents also reported destruction of critical evidence, as well as the details of Tilman's death being hidden from his brother, another Army ranger who was close to the scene of the accident, but did not witness it.

Paul Boyce, an Army spokesman, said informing families of combat-related death is always hard, and there is a emphasis on giving compassionate and accurate information to the families of the victim. Boyce said this was true of the Tilman shooting.
