Even if explicit orders came down I doubt they involved orders along the lines of "make sure you take lots of pictures! And video! And be sure to smile! And point at them in every picture so we're sure who the victims are! And now here's where it gets tricky...we need them to form the shape of a pyramid, um, and then we need a few of them dead, but not all of them, okay, oh and please by all means, make sure you have some non-military people take part so it'll make our coverup process that much easier, thanks!!"
