Being in a hostile environment even if you are not belonging to military personnel you are in the same danger as well, journalists, religious representatives, humanitarian organization members have been killed, kidnapped or tortured. Before you decide to take a mission in a country where safety is unstable make sure you are prepared for what you will deal with and most important seek for some training that will maybe be useful when you need it.
