  7-113. If Service Members acting in their individual capacity to violate the terms of an armistice are
  captured, they remain entitled to POW status, provided such entitlement exists during general hostilities
  (GPW art. 4). Deliberate violation of an armistice by an individual Service Member resulting in the killing
  or wounding of any member of the opposing force is an act of perfidy, punishable as a war crime (consider
  AP I, art. 37(1)). It does not, however, constitute a basis to deny the Service Member entitlement to POW
  status (GPW art. 85).
  ARMISTICE VIOLATIONS
  7-114. The following are serious violations of an armistice:
  * A violation of the express terms of an armistice agreement.
  * An action taken by opposing forces to gain a military advantage it would not be able to gain but
  for the armistice.
  * An overt manifestation of bad faith.
  7-115. Depending on factors discussed above such as notification and the isolated nature of violations, the
  following actions may constitute serious violations of an armistice:
  * movement beyond agreed lines.
  * encroachment or unauthorized entry into neutral areas.
  * physical seizure of objectives outside agreed lines.
  * direct attack of opposing forces.
  DENUNCIATION
  7-116. Any serious violation of the armistice by one of the parties gives an opposing belligerent the right
  of denouncing the armistice and even, in cases of urgency, of recommencing hostilities immediately (HR art.
  40).
  7-117. A belligerent denounces an armistice when it notifies the opposing party of its intent to terminate
  the armistice. Absent urgent necessity, a delay should occur between denunciation of the armistice and
  resumption of hostilities. If compelling evidence exists of a serious violation and delay incident to formal
  denunciation and warning seems likely to provide the violating party a substantial advantage of any kind, the
  aggrieved party may resume offensive military operations without warning, with or without formal
  denunciation.
  7-118. A commander of a military unit faced with any suspected or apparent violation of an armistice
  agreement, regardless of its severity, retains the right an obligation to use force in the exercise of unit self-
  defense.
  DENUNCIATION MAY NOT INVOLVE PERFIDY
  7-119. An armistice, like other formal arrangements between belligerents, engages the honor of both parties
  for the exact and complete fulfillment of every obligation imposed. It would be perfidious for either party,
  without warning, to resume hostilities during the period of an armistice, with or without a formal denunciation
  thereof, except in case of urgency and upon convincing proof of intentional and serious violation of its terms
  by the other party.
  ARMISTICE EXTENSION
  7-120. An armistice may be extended in the same manner as originally concluded or in any other manner
  satisfactory to each belligerent.
  CAPITULATIONS
  7-121. A capitulation is an agreement, sometimes with certain conditions, entered into between the
  commanders of belligerent forces for the surrender of a body of forces, a defended position, other defended
  town or place, or a particular district of the theater of operations (See DOD Law of War Manual, 12.8.1).
