What is the purpose of Rule of Engagement (ROE) and how does it influence soldier decisions?

ROE are general guidelines for equipment management

ROE are directives governing lawful use of force during a mission, guiding decisions to protect civilians and minimize harm while achieving objectives

ROE set when, where, and how force may be used during operations. They translate international law and mission goals into concrete limits on actions, aiming to protect civilians and minimize harm while still achieving the objective.

This framework shapes decisions in the field by requiring necessity and proportionality, clear distinction between combatants and civilians, and appropriate escalation or disengagement in line with policy. It guides choices from approaching a threat to deciding whether and how to engage, and it emphasizes using the minimum force needed and exploring non-kinetic options when possible.

ROE are not about equipment management, they do not specify weapon types, and they do not mandate surrender.

ROE dictate only the type of weapons used

ROE require surrender
