FIND THE ENEMY AND KILL THE ENEMY IS THE OLDEST AND SIMPLEST ROE OF ALL. define whether the area of operations is a restricted fire zone or a free fire zone for the troops involved. shoot if attacked. do not cross into area "ALPHA", even in pursuit of the enemy, these are both restrict fire zone examples. if it moves or has a weapon and is not one of US, waste it! everyone in this area is a hostile. this is an example of a free fire zone. be nice to the bad guys pretending to be innocnts. call the UN if attacked and pray for deliverence, but do not shoot back! do not intervene even if you see bad guys shooting, raping, or bludgeoning, unarmed civilians or prisoners-take notes, get location, photos, and names documentation for forwarding to UN peacekeeper HQ is another. and etc.
