  Principles of War: A Translation from the Japanese
In land warfare, logistics extends from the country's base of operations to the individual fighting man, and with operational conditions becoming complex and varied, expansion of the battle area, modernization of equipment, etc., its organization is complex and expanding.
In a word, the characteristics of land warfare are the source of the principles of war in land warfare, and in order to understand the principles of war, it is necessary to grasp the characteristics of land warfare.
All the concrete principles of war that are derived from the basic principle of war that the superior wins and the inferior loses, are simply the seeking of the cause-and-effect relationship of how to create and improve relative combat power superior to that of the enemy.

 GUERILLA WARFARE
Guerrilla warfare as a phase of war must be ruled by all of these; but besides, because of its special aspects, a series of corollary laws must also be recognized in order to carry it forward.
Guerrilla warfare is used by the side which is supported by a majority but which possesses a much smaller number of arms for use in defense against oppression.
Taking account of the possibilities of development of guerrilla warfare, which is transformed with the increase in the operating potential of the guerrilla band into a war of positions, this type of warfare, despite its special character, is to be considered as an embryo, a prelude, of the other.

 MODERN WARFARE: A French View of Counterinsurgency
Warfare is now an interlocking system of actions-political, economic, psychological, military-that aims at the overthrow of the established authority in a country and its replacement by another regime.
The fact that modern warfare is not officially declared, that a state of war is not generally proclaimed, permits the adversary to continue to take advantage of peacetime legislation, to pursue his activities both openly and secretly.
Warfare operations, especially those of a police nature in a large city, take place in the very midst of the populace, almost in public, whereas formerly they occurred on a battlefield, to which only armed forces had access.

 Principles of Warfare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Throughout history, soldiers and scholars have sought to determine fundamental rules for the conduct of warfare.
These approaches have been both prescriptive, stating what actions are allowed and forbidden in warfare, by law, ethics, or religion, and descriptive, analyzing the best practices and means by which a commander and his army or fleet can win a battle or a war.
These principles of warfare are very broad, and are tied in to military doctrine of the various military services.

 Total Warfare   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Warfare is sometimes waged with limited objectives; at other times, war is unto death, because the nature of the struggle requires it.
When, in earlier centuries, warfare did not involve deeply rooted principles but merely local issues, warfare was limited in scope and in deadliness.
Where warfare against heaven is waged, the consequences are death, not the death of God but the death of the contending peoples.

 NAVAL WARFARE PUBLICATION
Together, the law of armed conflict and the principles of warfare underscore the importance of concentrating forces against critical military targets while avoiding the expenditure of personnel and resources against persons, places, and things that are militarily unimportant.
While the principle does recognize that some amount of collateral damage and incidental injury to civilians and civilian objects may occur in an attack upon a legitimate military objective, it does not excuse the wanton destruction of life and property disproportionate to the military advantage to be gained from the attack.
The increasing emphasis in modern warfare on seeking to isolate completely the enemy from outside assistance and resources by targeting enemy merchant vessels as well as warships, and on interdicting all neutral commerce with the enemy, is not furthered substantially by blockades established in strict conformity with the traditional rules.

 Unity In The Body Of Christ - Principles Of War
In the study of warfare, great men have concluded that there are some overriding principles which, if followed, will always tend toward success in battle, and with equal positiveness, if neglected or ignored, will tend toward defeat or even destruction.
Just as these time-tried principles are effective in waging secular warfare--the author presents in quick succession these same principles as the key to assured victory in our spiritual warfare.
The Christian, clothed in the whole armor of God and applying these pertinent guiding principles of warfare--is an army, a communication system, a weapon to be used and a soldier to participate forcibly in the battle, to the glory of our Lord.

 Marketing Warfare
Rather, smaller companies must recognize the principle of force and attempt to win the battle by means of a superior strategy, not by brute force.
In military warfare, mountains and higher altitude areas represent strong positions and often are used to present a strong defense.
The reason for keeping the attack narrow is the principle of force; a narrow attack allows the challenger to concentrate its resources in the narrow area, and in that area may present more force than the leader.

 Do the Classic Principles of Warfare Still Apply?
When the principles of war are hammered home this way, they become a sort of religion, a fetish, like jointness.
The adoption of the principles by the Army is interesting because they come from Germany, a nation that was crushingly defeated twice in the twentieth century in part because they made a fetish of the principles and ignored their broader strategic content.
The principles are supposed to keep you flexible, to be a tool you can use to embrace uncertainty, not a straitjacket.

 The Principles Of War - By James I. Wilson
Occasionally in the history of warfare a new method comes to light that seems so effective or is such a surprise to the enemy that its users are strongly tempted to depend upon the new method (which is temporary) and forget the principles of war, such as concentration.
As we apply the various aspects of the principles of economy of force to the spiritual war in which we are engaged, we can say that any concentration of Christians where there are few or no non-Christians is an overconcentration of Christians at a point which is not decisive.
In physical warfare, the fruits of victory are conserved by pursuing the beaten enemy.

 Direction: Equipping Principles for Spiritual Warfare
One of the factors highlighted by the Lausanne “Statement on Spiritual Warfare” in accounting for the contemporary prominence of the issue is the growing credence being extended to Christians of the non-Western world in matters related to missiology and considerations of cosmology and worldview.
The persistence of spiritual warfare as a notion of belief and as a principle of action in the modern period, especially among those outside the intelligentsia and the circles of official power, would seem to support Berger’s thesis.
The dynamic of spiritual warfare as a public vehicle of witness and a public demonstration of cosmic confrontation has been carried by Christians who are found, for the most part, outside the ordered ministry of the traditional church, and outside the politically correct channels of the Western church and society.

Rethinking the principles of war, and recasting the doctrine that rests upon them, ensures that the lessons of history are learned and passed on to future generations.
Accepting the idea that principles of war are changeable, and are changing now, suggests acceptance of the responsibility to think rigorously about those changes as well as the actions necessary to keep pace with them.
As the traditional principles of war are reviewed, some will be reaffirmed, others updated, and a few may be discarded or replaced.

 Project on Defense Alternatives - Maneuver Warfare Principles and Terms

In the example of the arch, the keystone is a "center of gravity" (in the strategic, not literal sense).

Agrarian warfare principles were espoused by a well-known guru--Sun Tzu.
Whereas industrial warfare was so powerfully and indiscriminately destructive as to invite restrictions, information warfare is much more carefully focused and more conducive to being waged without limitations on its intensity.
As already mentioned, industrial warfare followed goals of unconditional surrender and annihilation, but the American public currently finds such goals to be unacceptably costly in lives, material, collateral damage, and time.

 WHITE NOISE: Essence of Guerrilla Warfare
The armed victory of the Cuban people over the Batista dictatorship was not only the triumph of heroism as reported by the newspapers of the world; it also forced a change in the old dogmas concerning the conduct of the popular masses of Latin America.
We consider that the Cuban Revolution contributed three fundamental lessons to the conduct of revolutionary movements in America.
This same central idea, though in different forms, inspired the small farmers, peasants, and slaves of the eastern estates of Cuba to close ranks and defend together the right to possess land during the thirty-year war of liberation.

 "A GOOD SOLDIER"
Whereas the Prussians, having in their leaders men whose clearness of vision and capacity for command were equal to their own fighting efficiency and power of endurance, do not seem ever to have faltered in their victorious career.
The conditions of warfare and the works required of the Christian soldier now are not what they were once; and unless men have understanding of the times, they may, though with the best intentions, render very bungling service.
The general principle was, that they were excluded from those relations, agencies, and engagements, which it was thought would divert their minds from that which was to be the sole object of pursuit.

Of all theories on the art of war, the only reasonable one is that which, founded upon the study of military history, admits a certain number of regulating principles, but leaves to natural genius the greatest part in the general conduct of a war without trammeling it with exclusive rules.
He said that it was while studying the accounts of the battle of Leuthen that the great principle which is the foundation of the art of war flashed upon him; and a careful study of Napoleon's early Italian campaigns proved to him that he had at last mastered the secret.
