Introduction to Rules of Engagement
Overview
Rules of Engagement (ROE) are instructions issued to military forces which relate to the way in which those forces are to interact with their operational environment with a view to achieving their assigned missions. This course provides an introduction to the concept, construction and interpretation of Rules of Engagement.
This course is designed to familiarise non-military audiences, who may deal with militaries, with Rules of Engagement. The course will be of interest to, for example, journalists, policy advisors, NGO staff, and other non-military agencies or organisations who foresee a need to engage with Rules of Engagement as a concept or tool, such as law enforcement agencies.
