4. Any unit that engages in purely passive behavior as in does not attack any military or civilian targets, does not disrupt the flow of aid, does not harbor foreign combatants, criminals, or assassins, and chooses not to communicate shall be treated as provisionally friendly. However non-Shimandan field commanders shall have the right to evaluate the actions of provisionally friendly units in determining if they are acting in a threatening manner. If the field commander evaluates and finds the unit is acting in a threatening manner, they have the right to declare the provisionally friendly unit as hostile.
