Answer: False

Explanation:

Article VI of the US Constitution allows for the equal status of treaties that the US enters into with laws passed by Congress. As a result, the Law of Armed Conflict is considered law for all bound by US law including and especially the US military and as a result, the US has decided to apply the Law to all military operations.
