Unfortunately, that's one of the traditional problems of war. This isn't the first, and certainly not the exception.
As for the US Colonel's lack of the knowledge you mention -- I wouldn't have known any of that either. It's not something that has ever been a part of my experience or education. There's a lot of history to study, and not eveyone studies every facet.
And since not all of us are students of archeology, you may have to just excuse our ignorance. That probably goes to a fair number of top allied commanders who did their best to protect what they understood with a finite number of troops.
