Contemporary wars in most cases are not waged exclusively by states any more as identified ethnical, national or religious forces are also the side. In such a reality, the classical division into soldiers and civilians does not matter – as each community member becomes realistically or potentially a soldier. This finally questions the importance of a uniform as an indicator of a person fighting on a battlefield. Civil soldiers as irregular forces’ members prefer fighting where time, space, legitimization to wield power and social support play an essential role. The irregular forces’ main tool in the fighting is an individual weapon which is capable of destroying even technologically advanced combat assets. The fighting philosophy adopted by irregular forces would not be efficient if defined rules were not obeyed.
