Bághnard Doctrine

The Bághnard doctrine is a Raidhsénian war doctrine regarding military engagement with civillians of enemy nations or tribes.
It states that troops are to arrest and physically restrain any civillians upon contact to prevent them from alerting enemy forces. It further states that civilians trying to circumvent this are to be killed, as a contingency to them resisting imprisonment or where imprisonment is  not possible for any reason.
The doctrine was devised after the failed siege of Lúghard, where the King Málagh Bághnard tricked invading forces into thinking he was a civillian woman, enabling him to raise an alert with the city defenders. It is named after him.
