definitions of hybrid warfare, DIME, PMESII, gray zone

Absztrakt

Although there are some semi-authoritative definitions of hybrid war currently in use, the term is still subject to various interpretations, and it usually means what the individual author or speaker chooses it to mean. The author discusses the origins of the concept and the characteristic of hybrid war. He recommends analyzing and describing hybrid conflict using two NATO analytical tools, PMESII and DIME, that model the operational environment, as well as a decision matrix (borrowed from the military decision making process) to evaluate the various factors that spell success or failure of a hybrid operation. Finally, he compares the two current semi-authoritative (NATO and EU) definitions of hybrid war, and recommends a working description, rather than a new definition of hybrid war.
