Best Answer

The Laws of Armed Conflict have their origins in such ancient documents as the Treaty of Westphalia of 1648, the writings of St Augustine, and the Hague and Geneva Conventions. As such, the Laws of Armed Conflict exist fairly independently of time or place.


The questioner may be asking in regard to the enemies US troops now face -- enemies that do not wear uniforms or fight in a conventional way. For now, the US Laws of Armed Conflict are resolute; regardless of what the enemy does, and how he does it, US troops are obligated to follow the same Laws as US troops have followed for many years.
