These texts are instrumental to any legal advisor, military commander, or international law scholar. It also aims to protect civilians, prisoners of war, the wounded, sick, and shipwrecked.

The Law of Armed Conflict (LOAC) is a series of broad-based rules defining how we fight a war. LOAC differs from the Rules of Engagement (ROE) in that ROE is specific instructions telling us how to operate during a specific scenario such as in Desert Storm. However, LOAC is a set of generalized rules that would apply to any armed conflict. LOAC principles have developed from a variety of places. Another place that LOAC rules come from is international law, such as the Geneva Conventions, Hague Conventions, and the Chemical Weapons Convention.
