Operative new paradigm - New regular forces warfare - article 2019

   The public institutions always learned about unconventional warfare as a doctrine to promote new skills, use of technologies and counter balance of power through the nations, using economic warfare and special operations over traditional defenses, and diplomatic negotiations in order to promote perpetual peace, under a paradigm of perpetual pax.

After the 90's the paradigm of warfare became a irregular scenario, promoted by small warfare groups, use of technology, as in Iraq-Iran war the Scuds, stealth aircrafts and more and more precious howitzers, the internet in the battlefield, after this, the pixel camo and then the private military companies and use of cybernetics.

The RAM brought to the scenario a new level of warfare, that becomes the new paradigm of warfare, the substitution of direct combats and total warfare through small battles, promoting psychological warfare, irregular warfare, using the nuances of the scenario in favour of the operations, as criminal activities, civil mercenaries, ex-warriors, terrorism, guerrilla, robotics, internet and economic warfare.

So, there must have been dynamism at doctrine, capability of mobility, disruption at the processes of field, the counter insurgencies and counter terrorism troops must have Commando's operations capability, a kind of hierarchy break to promote the real battle in order to the classic doctrine.

Troops must be able to fight terrorism, web, cybernetics, insurrections, upheavals, civilian armed, and backup of regular forces also to the insurgents and governments.

This plans a new usage of force, like attacking non military targets, economic and military blocs and public armies.

But this paradigm is not new. History proved that Irregular was behind the curtains of each warfare. Otto Skorzeny did behind the curtain operations with multiple languages to trick enemies. Also infiltration and assassination operations, and assault operations to save Mussolini at his prison.

The annexation of Danzig was possible because of operations of Admiral Canaris using infiltration and sabotage operations in Poland, a contract of Polish people that supported the German government.

Use of mercenaries was common in contemporary and medieval battles, since ancient times in Roman battles, the use of Elephants by Hannibal, the difference between Persian Empire and Greek Empire in Peloponesian warfare showed that the sovereign of small armies with high combat capabilities. Troyan warfare was the first case with study on irregular warfare. Infiltration, downfall, invasion of temples, many nations invading one nation, many armies against one. Use of religion to promote peaceful conditions for murdering... For love they hammered the world.

Vietnam showed the capabilities of Guerrilla Warfare and small guerrilla groups under fire of aircrafts and regular armies crushed the enemies with irregular methods.

Later in Africa the Mercenaries fought and the scenario of revolutionary armies and criminal activities, the chaotic scenario was favorable to the ones who implemented technology together with their military capability, then Executive Outcomes was victorious in each direct combat, making possible the independence of the countries and form a governmental unity.

In Nicaragua the contras over the Sandinist revolutionaries and in Europe the Operation Gladio with the contract of mercenaries to infiltration, sabotage and assassination of communist parties in Italy.

And nowadays the affirmative after the war on terror and the scholars of asymmetric warfare, since Creveld to Kaldor, the possibility of the core of the conflicts over the physical space is now a subject of study and action between regular armies.

RMA brought the world the analysis of Russian scholars and military strategists to understand the Maoist strategy of infiltration, guerrilla, over population, migration, economic warfare and use the technologies to promote communication over battlefields, surpassing the location of the enemies and with capability to preview their actions.

The support of the Airforce is called to the logistics and fire together with the infantry and the use of drones can make the attack capable from long range actions, and assassination operations. This method changed and challenged the education of military schools to provide combat training and the peacekeepers at the diplomatic corps. The new form of conduction of a peaceful stability depends now on diverse agents, some of them not in government, many of them out of the core of the combat and acting in networks.

Planners have been developing and mandating capacity courses and the exchange of expertise is important at this topic to improve their capabilities, under cultural basis, the adaptation of Clausewitzian warfare to promote integrated operations. 

Beyond the years of warfare, Gen. Guderian proved that the morale of the troops and the front attack should be supported by integrated troops, raising the metaphysics of the warfare and the physical capability, gaining advantage.

The non-linear or non-traditional combat continue to be a norm but the doctrine must be dynamic, adapting faster to the constant changing in paradigms of politics, spread of information, fake news, civilian and non uniformed personnel, private forces and cyber warfare, integration of non-tripulated and tripulated aircrafts.

The new regular is the non-regular forces, linear conflicts are done by non-linear actors...
