PID is a reasonable certainty that the proposed target is a legitimate military target. If no PID, contact your next highest commander for decision. Do not engage anyone who has surrendered, or is unarmed or wounded. Any requests for fire support or close air support within 600 Meters of a civilian center must first get authorization from commanding officer. Unless there is Positive Identification of Targets in an unoccupied building, structures are not to be engaged or targeted by heavy Ordinance including Mortars, Artillery, Armor, or any other forms of high explosives. The Killing of any unarmed civilian will require a full report from the NCOIC to the Commanding Officer, including the circumstances leading up to the killing. Each trooper is allotted one "accident" for the entire campaign. If that specific trooper has a second incident involving the killing of an unarmed civilian, that soldier may be removed from the server for the rest of the mission. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2.
