Hostile intent means preparing to use force against friendly forces.
Minimize collateral damage by using only the weapons and force you consider necessary and appropriate to accomplish your mission. If you are not successful use deadly force. Regard all detained and captured personnel as a threat. Thoroughly search them, then segregate them into groups of Enemy Prisoners of War and hostile civilians. Keep them in locations where they cannot view our base layout or operations.
