hybrid warfare

RFV of both senses. The word sees little use. When it is used, I read it as referring to a kind of warfare which one deals with via certain strategies (the second sense, which has one citation already), not to a strategy (the first sense). Some citations capitalize one or both words. - -sche (discuss) 21:04, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

I don't see how any citation could meaningfully distinguish between the two, to be honest. One is just the application of the other. Smurrayinchester (talk) 16:24, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

DoD states: "a blending of conventional and irregular approaches across the full spectrum of conflict." The definition I like is as follows: "a military strategy that blends conventional warfare and irregular warfare across the full spectrum of conflict." WritersCramp (talk) 21:28, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

I have merged the definitions. Examining other "war" and "warfare" terms, including total war, cyberwarfare, civil war, guerrilla warfare and warfare itself, I find that they are defined as "war[fare] that [X]", not as "strategies for warfare that [X]", so I have omitted the latter language here. - -sche (discuss) 16:01, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
