	Low intensity conflict - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Low intensity conflict (LIC) is an armed conflict, usually between a regular army or law enforcement and non-regular armed militias (terror organization, guerrilla fighters, gangs, rioters etc).
		The term LIC is used to describe a conflict where the use of military force is applied selectively and with restraint, usually to comply with policies or objectives that may influence both the nature of the tactics applied, and the conflict itself.
		As the name suggests, in comparison with conventional operations the armed forces involved operate at a greatly reduced tempo, with fewer soldiers, a reduced range of tactical equipment and limited scope to operate in a military manner.
