CIVILIAN

For other uses, see Civilian (disambiguation).

In times of armed conflict a civilian is any person who is not a combatant. The term may also be used to identify people who are not members of a particular profession or occupation, particularly those who do not belong to the military, to the police or another emergency service.

The term is used in this context by models and in the performing arts, recently becoming more widely used as a result of the New York Theater Company production, "The Civilians". ^{[citation needed]}
