Please explain:

Article 3 starts, "In the case of armed conflict not of an international character occurring in the territory of one of the High Contracting Parties, each Party to the conflict shall be bound to apply, as a minimum, the following provisions:"

In what sense does this apply to a battle between Americans and Afghanistan?

It was my understanding that Article 3 applied to civil war.

Your thoughts?

Wrong Article III. Look for the Third Geneva Convention.
