How Does Your Military Handle Civilians in a War-Zone?

[Haktiva]

What's plan for civilians during war?

At home: civilians are almost nonexistent, save for young children and elderly folks, so once they're evacuated, the gloves are off.
In other countries: We give them three options.
1. They can evacuate and take their chances away from us
2. They can live their lives under military occupation, where they will be searched regularly, but be compensated in the form of food and medical supplies.
3. Try and fight and be killed, regardless of who they are.

[Atalissa]

U.S. doctrine holds that civilians who do not take up arms against U.S. forces are noncombatants, and are to be treated accordingly. Occupied territory is under martial law, both de facto and de jure, and civilians are required to conduct themselves accordingly.

In the event of a foreign invasion on U.S. soil, we expect and demand correct treatment of U.S. nationals in occupied zones. Failure to comply on the part of said invaders is likely to bring about...consequences.

[New Heathera]

Forced evacuation. If they resist with armed weapons, they are shot.

[Rightwall]

We try not to shoot them.

Other than that, meh.

[Not a pipe]

Warn them and tell them to leave. If they don't, we won't do anything about it.

[Galla-]

Warn them and tell them to leave. If they don't, we won't do anything about it.

[Kazarogkai]

Citizens: If they are citizens of are country we do are best to protect them and work alongside them since they live in are territory are citizens are a major par of are national defense plan this includes raising partisan units among them to aid us with irregular assistance, have are soldiers be involved in local communities, all the way to sending soldiers to help local farmers and ranchers harvest and plant their crops(were extremely rural), are soldiers are expected to maintain up most courtesy towards are citizens at all times and be strongly honorable kinda do a Chinese style peoples liberation army thing when we are fighting enemy forces in are territory.
hearts an minds is of major importance to us when it comes to fighting in are territory

Allied civilians: We have no allies but we would probably do something similar.

Enemy Civilians: If they oppose us they die, the ones who don't resist will be ignored and left alone, most of the time. Are army when it goes inside enemy territory we are very similar to Sherman's march to the sea, we don't like maintaining long supply lines so we tell are troops to forage from the local populace for supplies so that they aren't reliant on long supply lines. Are forces also partake in scorched earth tactics when we are on the retreat and need to delay the enemy and deny them resources. Are Special Forces are highly trained and specialized for Sabotage, Spying, Terrorism, and Assassination are special forces are always the spear head units and basically lead are troops in are march against are enemy.

[Dystara]

It depends. In situations where the approach of Dystaran forces is expected, the military typically issues a warning to...

a) the entity that represents the civilians (since Dystara tends to keep to itself, its only wars are of the civil kind and we won't dignify the armed heretics and rebels with such terms as "government" and "authority")
b) the civilians directly

...to the effect of "get [them] out of there".

If forewarning is detrimental to the operation...tough.

Once in the area of operations, if civilians are encountered they're generally waved away by brandishing weapons and fists unless they're of value (politicians, e.t.c.).

[The Orson Empire]

Depends on how bad the situation is. Normally they are evacuated, byt hat I mean a warning is broadcasted on national T.V., and war sirens go off. if citizens refuse to leave, then thats on them. we can't control that

[Arko-Reason]

Civilians who don't attack us are noncombatants. If the war is unlikely to enter an urban area, they are told to consider evacuating until the battle leaves their area, but otherwise may stay at home.
If the battle is going to enter an urban area, all civilians (even enemy civilians) are forcibly evacuated to the nearest safe settlement of either side, or alternatively, to a fortress of the Imperial Armies.

If the enemy attacks civilians (ours or theirs), our troops will call in an X-58 Imperial Mech, Vengeance-Class. This machine is regarded as extremely holy to the Arkosians. The mere sight of it has been known to throw our soldiers into an unstoppable rage.

Most nations, even if they win the battle, or even the war, agree to sign an agreement to avoid civilians in future conflicts, after such a display.

[Novus Niciae]

Our civilians: We have less than 2% of the population that is not in the militia and they are evacuated off world at the first sign of hostilities.

Our militia are veteran soldiers and will be recalled to active duty if an invasion of one of our worlds is likely , they are all trained in survival on their homeworlds and they will conduct a long term stay-behind guerrilla war from the extensive fortifications we have constructed deep underground on all our colony worlds, these forts have everything a partisan army could ever wish for, there are mecha units , assorted military ground and hover vehicles, military aerospace craft of all descriptions and medical facilities. Most of the equipment is last generation surplus from our regular forces which we have mothballed in these forts rather than dispose of it. Some forts even have semi decommissioned naval space vessels in underground hangers.

Neutral or allied civilians: We will evacuate these civilians to a safe area and establish refugee camps to accommodate and provision them while their place of residence is a battlezone.

Enemy civilians: If they are unarmed and they are not known partisans we do not harm them, In a combat area we keep an eye on them but we allow them to flee in panic or whatever it is that they do when confronted by eight foot tall armored cat girls with guns too large for a baseline human to wield. In occupied areas we establish food distribution centers if the local food supply is too damaged to be of use and provide them with basic building materials to repair their houses if it is needed. In the case of long term occupation of a conquered enemy people we will rebuild their country to a better state than it was in before the war and we will organize an election for them to form a new government from a selection of local candidates we have hand picked (generally anyone with the necessary skills to govern who was helpful to us and not aligned with the previous objectionable government). And we will keep an occupation force in place until the new government is stable and all traces of the old government have been dealt with. Then the new government will sign a treaty or three with us allying themselves to our republic and we will leave the country in a better state than we found it in.

Enemy partisans are shot on sight unless they make it perfectly clear that they are surrendering, Surrendered partisans are treated as POWs with the appropriate investigations conducted to determine if they committed any war crimes and if so they are tried for those crimes.

[Phalnia]

Civilians in war-zones, whether they be at home or abroad, are often evacuated to "safe-zones". Any civilians who refuse are left to their own devices. Any civilians who take up arms are considered enemy combatants.

[Camthonland]

If the war zone is here in Camthonland the Camthonese military will make it a priority to evacuate as many civilians as possible from the war zone and to a safe zone. Evacuation is mandatory for minors by adults may stay if they choose. If it is in a foreign country we try to evacuate as many civilians as possible but won't force them to leave.

[Bonnaful]

The Imperial Armed Forces evacuatse Bonnafulian citizens to safe areas in Bonnaful where military conflict is less likely. These citizens are told to conduct total warfare if the enemy comes into the safe zone. Evacuation of Bonnafulian citizens will only happen if invasion of Bonnaful is about to happen or the enemy is conducting bombings on cities. The Imperial Armed Forces follow a strict policy regarding foreign citizens in occupied provinces.

After conquering cities or piece of land from a enemy state, a curfew and armed patrols of military police will be enacted. Prisoners of war or uncooperative citizens will be forced to build internment camps where all foreign citizens will go either peacefully or by force. Foreign citizens property will then will become state assets and transported to Bonnaful or sold. Women and children, under the age of 13, will be given the choice to move into a internment camp or move to a industrial factory in Bonnaful.

In larger cities (a million plus) military police will enact marital law with a shoot first ask questions later policy . Citizens will still be able to go through their normal lives except that Bonnafulian currency will be used. All weapons will be gathered up and sent to a armory, and if citizens refuse to to give up their weapons then there will be deaths.

In serve cases death squads and death camps will be set up to control a rebellious population. All rights will be thrown away and 18 hour curfew will be enforced at all times. Military trials will be held for city leaders and will decide if they are a threat to Bonnafulian Military staff. If any groups of citizens attack military patrols and kills a soldier, two civilians will be shot in response. If a village is suspect of supplying food to hostile soldiers or "freedom fighters", that village will be razed with its fields salted and burnt. This is only in serve cases where a population can not be controlled.

[Teddy Bear Republic]

In the TBRE, civilians are defined as non-combat personnel, that is those not directly or indirectly related to the war effort. Generally, civilian casualties are to be at an extreme minimum, and they are to be treated well.

[The Multiversal Species Alliance]

Current military strategy: jump into the system, destroy or disable all orbital facilities, launch holo-projectors at all settlements to warn the population, then target all settlements with fusion nuclear warheads, kinetic bolts, and siege beams, finally, send down Spetsnaz to capture all remaining military and civilian personnel (with tranquilizers) and send them to rehabilitation centres, then begin constructing settlements.
Former military strategy: jump into the system, destroy all orbital facilities, target all settlements with fusion nuclear warheads, kinetic bolts, and siege beams, send down Spetsnaz to eliminate every remaining sapient military or civilian, even if they throw down their arms.

[Aurora Confederacy]

In the TBRE, civilians are defined as non-combat personnel, that is those not directly or indirectly related to the war effort. Generally, civilian casualties are to be at an extreme minimum, and they are to be treated well.

A Civilian did NOT choose to go to war, their government did

[Hibernion (Ancient)]

If they are no harm to us, we just let them be.

[The Jahistic Unified Republic]

At home: protect as much as possible.
Warzone: If the civilian does not pose a threat, don't hurt it.

[Cruciland]

AT HOME: The civilians get converted into indestructible fighting machines and join the ranks of MJC. If Cruciland falls, Christianity is left defenseless.

IN ALLY NATIONS: Offer to convert them into powerful killing machines like above, or go in front of them to prevent death of civilians.

IN ENEMY NATIONS: Assimilate any captured civilians, and kill any that can't be captured. Either way, they're going to not be a hindrance...

[Wayland-Trust]

As part of our general terror campaign that is conducted as part of most wars enemy civilians are 'warned'.
For example:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltXLcooUPJU&feature=player_detailpage#t=124s

Warning claxons are also used and sirens are attached to dive bombers, 'as a warning'.

Beyond that civilians who are caught up in the battle are considered spoils of war and enslaved unless ordered otherwise by commanders.

The Fatatatutian warrior exists only to protect civilians. If we are on their soil, that goes double.

[Nachfolgia]

if any civilians in Nachfolgian occupied enemy nations oppose us in any way such as failure to swear loyalty to our leader, failure to address officers correctly,failure to follow the orders of a Nachfolgian, failure to abid to martial law or take up arms against us will be punished severely.

punishments vary between a rifle butt to the face or body, beatings, enslavement, prison,and execution depending on the severeity of the offense.
