<strong>Law</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>War</strong>/Introduction to Rules <strong>of</strong> Engagement<br />

Summary<br />

<strong>The</strong> end-state is that we will treat all enemies as if they are protected under the <strong>Law</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>War</strong>. Higher command will decide whether that detainee requires different<br />

classification. This simplifies our approach to the fight and allows us to engage all<br />

hostile parties in accordance to the principles outlined above and with the utmost<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>essionalism at all times regardless <strong>of</strong> circumstances.<br />

To conclude, this student handout discussed two different topics: the <strong>Law</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>War</strong> and<br />

Rules <strong>of</strong> Engagement (ROE). <strong>Law</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>War</strong> included the definition and evolution <strong>of</strong> the<br />

<strong>Law</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>War</strong>, the different principles, classification <strong>of</strong> persons on the battlefield, lawful<br />

weapons and tactics, implications associated with violations <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Law</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>War</strong>, and<br />

training <strong>of</strong> our Marines. ROE define the way in which we can engage the enemy.<br />
