Everything about Non-combatants totally explained

Non-combatant is a military and legal term describing civilians (unless of course they engage in combat) plus some military personnel, including medics, chaplains and those who are hors de combat. Non-combatants are distinguished from unprivileged combatants: people who are fighting but are not privileged combatants (such as members of the armed forces) and who therefore don't enjoy the full protections of the Third Geneva Convention.
   Reference: Geneva Conventions Protocol I, 8 June 1977, Art 43.2.
