If two countries go to war, how can the opposing army know which army is theirs without accidently shooting their own teammates?

Answer 1

Apart from uniform identification, you typically know where you’re supposed to have friendly forces.

If a street has friendlies chances are they relayed that and your team knows about it.

But, shit happens, sometimes shit doesn’t get passed along or there’s confusion as it often happens in war and friendly fire incidents are not unheard of.
