ROE are both interesting and sometimes beyond ridiculous in some cases IMHO.
Perhaps your mention of an NDA suggests you have seen some odd ones too.
From my own experience civilians didn't even always get a mention, let alone be protected.
Of course, some historically famous events had ROE that had civilians as the intended target, either directly or indirectly which is why I bit to JSFs' post. Events like the WW2 bombing of Dresden, Hiroshima or Nagasaki spring to mind as direct targeting while the dambusters raid killed very many civilians of all ages as an indirect consequence.
