I would suspect the "Mosque" wasn't sat atop a hill like the Alamo, rather it would be part of a large Training Village type facility. Why a "Mosque"? Well the CAF had been fighting a war in a Muslim country and having that landmark in their training area only makes sense, much like I reckon they would also have had a "Afghan National Police station" an "Afghan local political office building" and any other number of common areas that show up in small villages & towns in your AO.
Realistic training, including the use of realistic landmarks saves lives. This doesn't mean that the CAF (or ####eaters if in Suffield) were targeting the "Mosque" rather it was a point of reference much like other points in town.

I look forward to seeing the video. |
Ok, that makes may more sense. In a village setting calling out the different types of buildings including those that may be off limits would be important. I jumped on the original description that implied a single standalone building that was specifically detailed as a mosque.
The fact that it is a mosque is in retrospect consistent with the rest of the village not exactly looking like a suburban neighborhood since they are training for a specific (on-going at the time) conflict.
