Their level of knowledge is irrelvent. If the Battallion and Brigade Commanders didn't establish proper SOP for how often security points were to be checked, and put in procedures for dealing with attacks on security points. Especially, since this is one of their primary missions over there.

The Brigade is the smallest self contained unit in the Army, and as such the Brigade Commander is fully responsible for everything that happens in his Brigade.
What he said.
