Regular Coalitioneer forces ambush convoys all the time, they would do it at checkpoints too. This involves planning and deliberation, but if the order to do so was lawfully made and the applicable standards of conduct and rules of war upheld, when perpetrated by a member of regular armed forces exempts the perpetrator from liability -this is true even if the order was unlawful, if the perpetrator was unaware of this. The difference is in the perpetrator, not the conduct.
