These activities require the exercise of substantial discretion in applying Government authority and /or making decisions for the Government. Inherently governmental activities in a combat environment include those activities that require discretionary judgment that commit the U.S. Government to a course of action, such as deciding who or what to attack or search. Any activity that requires more than a response in self-defense to a hostile attack is inherently governmental. Some authorized activities may become inherently governmental when there is a high likelihood of hostile attack.
