This episode picks up where the previous one left off -- with the cocky aviator and Commander Rabb's wingman Lt. Andrew "X-Man" Buxton charged with fratricide and violating the rules of engagement. X-Man makes the reasonable point that the Russians didn't notify anyone that they were operating in the area, and their flag looks eerily similar to the Serbian flag. Not to mention, that the Yugoslav Army uses Soviet military surplus equipment. Buxton ropes Rabb into defending him at the court-martial. Lt. Colonel [=MacKenzie=] is sent from JAG HQ along with Lt. Roberts to investigate the matter and winds up prosecuting.
