Welcome to the Law of War Branch

The Law of War Branch is responsible for providing advice to the field and the Army Staff regarding the application of the Law of War to Army operations.  We represent the Army at the DoD Law of War Working Group, established by DoD Directive 2311.01E to review Law of War issues and policies.  The branch also develops Army policy on the Law of War, incorporating the Law of War into directives, regulations, and doctrine.  Additionally, the branch provides advice on Arms Control treaties.  Finally, the branch supports Army Program Managers and weapons developers by reviewing weapons and ammunition for compliance with international law and the law of war.
