OPERATIONAL APPROACH OF LAND FORCES IN THE HIBRID CONTEXT

Abstract

Visualizing the various operational contexts of recent Land Forces' employment, there were many situations where the nominated structures also faced unconventional adversaries, even though, initially, the nature of operation had been identified as having a conventional pattern. This particularity is perpetuated more and more aggressively, determining the conventional military structures of the Land Forces to operate in order to face both regular and irregular forces, even within the same AO. Based on these coordinates, the article triggers to identify the principles needed to adjust the operational approach of Land Forces, so that the organic structures can perform in engaging the adversary from AOs within current and future operations. Also, a subsidiary objective of the present research is to identify the mutations at the level of ACOAs based on which the adjustment of FFCOAs will be made. Keywords: hybrid operational approach; ACOA, FFCOA; regular forces; irregular forces.
