Hybrid Warfare

Hybrid warfare is a contested concept. In its broadest form, it can be described as the use of different actors and different types of warfare. Specifically, actors may include regular military units, guerilla fighters, and terrorists. Combatants can also employ various tactics, ranging from physical military force to hacking and disinformation. Nevertheless, whether hybrid warfare occurs as part of a war, below the threshold of war, or is conducted in the grey zone between war and peace remains unclear.
