There are several situations that can cause fratricide in the Army. One soldier may be a target because of his ethnicity or the soldier may have done something dangerous to put his whole division in danger.
This term can apply to the case where multiple bombs or missile warheads targeted very close together and the explosion of the first bomb or warhead damages the other bombs or warheads preventing them from exploding. In other words the first bomb or warhead explosion "killed" the other bombs or warheads causing them to be a waste of materiel.
This term can also apply to the case of "friendly fire casualties" when one's own weapons accidentally kill one's own troops.
Fratricide (from the Latin frater) means "to kill your brother." It can also mean the act of killing a fellow soldier.
