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.
