Rules of Engagement

 

Context

Throughout the years, the evolution of warfare has seen engagements become more and more complicated. As the standards of war has been growing in complexity, so too must the children of Malin grow in their ability to meet the challenges met upon the field. It is with this statement that the Celiadiraar deem fit to form a standardized Rule of Engagement (ROE) to ensure that soldiers of the Diraar are capable of responding to situations with the appropriate measures of force.

 

ROE in Law Enforcement

The Law in Celia’nor is to be held in the highest regard, and with that the forces tasked with management of that law must understand that not every crime needs to result in death. There are actions that a criminal may take that will result in equal levels of response from the Diraar. To that end, it must be understood by the soldiers of the Diraar. Force is a tool for both those who enforce the law, but also a tool of propaganda for those who stand against it. Every action taken by the Diraar will be put under the scrutinous eye of the public. It is that reason that escalation is to be used with the utmost precaution. A Diraar may see necessary to escalate a situation, and deescalate a situation depending on the context, and this manual will not be able to predict every situation that one will encounter, however, we can broadly explain where certain amounts of force are necessary.

 

ROE for Non-Violent Crimes

 

Attempt to peacefully pacify the suspect via verbal demand

 

If suspect attempts to flee from Diraar forces, it is deemed as non-compliance, and can result in physical take down methods such as tackling

 

If suspects resist further after the Diraar attempts to detain them, it may be deemed necessary to execute methods to nudge a suspect to a more compliant state. If this is needed, physical unarmed attacks may be permitted.

 

If violence is met by a suspect, it is no longer deemed as a Non-Violent crime and thus Diraar forces are advised to refer to the Violent Crimes section.

 

ROE for Violent Crimes

 

If a suspect has displayed violence towards a citizen or a Diraar. It can be argued that force is necessary. Thus for handling an unarmed suspect committing violent crimes, non-lethal options should be used in an attempt to detain the suspect.

 

If the suspect has displayed violence via the use of a weapon. It is at that point acceptable to employ lethal force to ensure the safety of the nation and its people. From this point on, any option that resolves the situation is prefered.

 

ROE in Military Engagement

In war, it is always seen that one side must kill the enemy, this is the highest calling in conflict, for conflict is in many ways an extension of diplomacy. When verbal negotiations with a foreign entity fail, it is up to the marshal forces of the state to enforce the will of said state. This diplomatic exchange only ends when one side's losses overwhelm their will to fight.

    Despite all this being said, ROE also applies to the action of war. No one will think positively about you if you bring a massacre upon a village, and slaughter a village whole. Additionally, Military objectives may very well require the restraint of violence towards the enemy. To this end, certain military scenarios may require restraint from the soldiers tasked with executing Celia’nors will.

 

ROE for Civil Unrest - Riots - Handling Foreign Entities in Peace Time

 

In situations where war seems to be on the brink, it is important to maintain image. Thus Diraar should not engage perceived threats unless acting in self defense.

 

In situations where Diraar believe that another person's life is being put into threat through the actions of a uncivil crowd, non-lethal force may be executed.

 

ROE for Marshal Conflict

 

If facing contact with an enemy force, Diraar are required to first make a distinction between an armed and resilient enemies, and unarmed soldiers and civilians

 

If engaging armed soldiers, lethal force is authorized in raids, defenses, and field engagements

 

If engaging unarmed soldiers or civilians. Violence is to be avoided if possible, with non-lethal force being authorized in an attempt to take prisoners

 

- It is of note that taking civilians prisoners should not be a common tactic, and only employed with permission from higher up Diraar or Governmental permission

 

ROE for Reconnaissance Missions

 

Under circumstances where Reconnaissance missions have been authorized, the death of enemy forces is lowered in priority. In these instantences, the safety and stealth of a small squad must be given top priority

 

No enemies should be engaged unless Reconnaissance squad is put under threat

 

If spotting prisoners held by enemies, it is left to the assessment of the Reconnaissance squad to determine whether a rescue operation is viable. One can ethier be launched as an extension of the Reconnaissance mission, or a squad can withdraw back to friendly territory and acquire a larger force for rescue.

 

Conclusion

Though the implementation of these ROE’s, it is the hope of the Diraar to minimize deaths of civilian, and unarmed combatants in wartime, and criminals and their victims in peacetime. Though these basic outlines may not apply to every scenario a Diraar is expected to face out in the fields, or the city streets, it is to serve as a guide to further actions taken. With that being said, ROE are also subject to revision, and as time continues on, new ROE’s may be drafted to further aid in future conflicts that the Diraar may face.
