There are rules in war, and therefore U.S. forces are governed by rules of engagement. Violating the Rules of Engagement (ROE) will have negative effects on your career as a Soldier. In America’s Army, a system to display how well you’ve completed mission objectives is called Honor. is called honor. Honor is based on the total amount of points you have gained while playing. The more points you accumulate, the more honor you will have. Honor helps you get priority during class selection. Additionally, some advanced training missions have an honor requirement (e.g.: Special Forces).

As stated honor can go up by being successful in America’s Army however it can easily go down when you violate the ROE. ROE is cumulative, and adds negative points to your overall score. This in-turn can cause your honor to go down. You can receive ROE violations by injuring friendly forces, or civilians. Therefore it is very important to know what you are shooting at. The amount of ROE you get for injuring friend forces is proportional to the amount of damage you did, and when you did it. Injuring a teammate within the first 40 seconds of game play can result in a large amount of ROE, and automatic elimination from the round.
