ARTICLE VI
SECTION 2.
RULES OF ENGAGEMENT
A. CONFLICT
1. TO DETERMINE A “KILL” FOR PERSONNELL ON FOOT
A combatant will be considered “killed” when he has without question received opposing fire, as follows:
a. Full body exposure in the open within the range of the type of fire you are taking.
b. Exposed from the waist up when within range.
c. Running from cover to cover if you take fire from a semi- or fully automatic weapon burst of three or more shots or a volley from three or more bolt action weapons within range.
d. If you are within range and being fired upon, but do not fall under (a) or (b) as described above for a clean kill, you must take cover to shield your whole torso and head. If you continue to stick your head up and watch the person firing at you, the headshot will count if made within 25 yards.
e. If you are within range, but come under fire, you must take cover from the neck down. If you do not, you will be considered “killed”.
f. When crawling, you must have sufficient cover when taking opposing fire, i.e., you are dead in an open clearing.
2. VEHICLES, SOFT SKINNED
(i.e., motorcycles, cars, jeeps, and trucks)
a. A vehicle receiving a volley of semi-automatic or fully automatic fire will be considered knocked out with the driver and passengers in the cab area killed. If the vehicle is a truck carrying troops, the troops must dismount from the vehicle and fight on foot. The troops cannot use the vehicle for cover, as the vehicle would probably be in flames.
b. A vehicle and all personnel in or on that vehicle will be considered killed from any of the following:
c. Hand grenade inside of vehicle
d. Volley of heavy weapons fire
e. Anti-tank mine field

h. Or as listed in SECTION B “WEAPON RANGE / EFFECTIVENESS”
3. VEHICLES, ARMORED CARS AND HALF TRACKS
Will be considered killed from any of the following:
a. Hand grenade inside of vehicle
b. Volley of heavy weapons fire
c. Anti-tank rocket launcher
d. Demolition block placed on hood
e. Anti-tank mine field
f. 10 lbs. Satchel Charge on, tossed under or driven over
g. Or as listed in Section B”WEAPON RANGE / EFFECTIVNESS”
(Note: All of the above includes the crew.)
4. VEHICLES, TANKS
Will be considered killed from any of the following:
a. Hand grenade inside of tank

a. Personnel will remove their helmet or hat to indicate that they are a casualty.
b. Casualties are considered dead unless revived by a medic.

The rivie process is probably going to go through a change. Up until know, there were no medics. I believe all units have at least one now. I'm looking at changing the way we do things.
