# Combat Sample Combat hazards detected by AI for Humanity, PDC Global's generative AI and NLP technology, monitoring armed conflict events worldwide. These hazards track military engagements, airstrikes, shelling, and other armed conflict incidents, providing casualty data and severity scoring for each event. ## Combat-Specific Properties ### Incident Data The `incident.properties` object for combat hazards contains data from AI for Humanity. These properties describe the nature of the armed conflict event, its casualties, severity, and geographic scope. **Key incident properties for combat hazards include:** * `Incident_Type` - Type of incident (e.g., "Combat") * `Total_Fatalities` / `Total_Wounded` - Total casualty counts across all parties * `Civilian_Fatalities` / `Civilian_Wounded` - Civilian casualty counts * `Police_Military_Fatalities` / `Police_Military_Wounded` - Security force casualty counts * `Terrorist_Insurgent_Fatalities` / `Terrorist_Insurgent_Wounded` - Insurgent/combatant casualty counts * `Incident_Score` - Overall incident severity score * `Casualty_Weight` / `Scope_Weight` / `Incident_Type_Weight` / `Total_Weight` - Scoring components used to determine hazard priority * `Incident_Severity` - Severity classification ("H" for high, "M" for medium, "L" for low) * `Scope_of_Incident` - Geographic scope (e.g., "Local", "Township", "Regional") * `Country_Name` / `Province_District_Town` - Location details * `Event_Summary` - AI-generated summary of the incident * `sourceName` / `Source` - News source that reported the event * `sourceResourceLocations` - JSON array of source article URLs * `casualties` - JSON string with killed/injured breakdown * `bufferSize` - Buffer distance in meters for exposure geometry (e.g., 100000 for combat) * `rawMessage` - Full text of the source news article ### Features Geopolitical hazards include features with `featureType` values of: * **INCIDENT**: Point geometry at the incident location with casualty and event details * **SMART\_ALERT**: Alert boundary polygon defining the hazard alert area ### Exposure Areas Combat hazards use 3 exposure levels based on distance buffers: * **Level 1**: Moderate exposure (30-100km buffer) * **Level 2**: Strong exposure (10-30km buffer) * **Level 3**: Severe exposure (0-10km buffer) The buffer size is determined by the `bufferSize` property in the incident (in meters). For combat hazards, this is typically 100,000 meters (100km), reflecting the wider area of impact for armed conflict. ## Sample Response ```json { "name": [ { "locale": "en", "value": "Combat (Military Operations) - Pakistan" } ], "description": [ { "locale": "en", "value": "A Combat incident was reported in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan on March 11, 2026.
