	Colorado Firecamp - U.S. Marine Corps Doctrinal Publication 1, "Warfighting"
		Our philosophy of warfighting, as described in the manual, is in consonance with joint doctrine, contributing to our ability to operate harmoniously with the other Services.
		One goal is to enhance the description of the nature of war—for example, to emphasize war’s complexity and unpredictability and to widen the definition of war to account for modern conflict’s expanding forms.
		Warfighting is not meant as a reference manual; it is designed to be read from cover to cover.

	Corps as a Warfighting Headquarters
		Inclusive of this is the corps left to its warfighting and coordinating tasks with a separate headquarters continuing sustainment operations.
		Green blocks indicate the cells the corps billets would occupy either in part or total to be a tactical warfighter and the purple the cells requiring corps core billets as well as other augmentation to fight at the operational level.
		This organizational diagram reflects a corps that is optimized for tactical warfighting (green boxes) and has the internal structure necessary to transition into an operational warfighter (purple boxes would be those manned with army corps core, subordinate brigade and sister service personnel).

	Warfighting integration reduces inaccuracy, inefficiency
		One example of warfighting integration is the link between ground troops and airborne intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance platforms such as the MQ-1 Predator unmanned aerial vehicle.
		Warfighting integration is also about improving processes to reduce the number of people and the amount of time needed to do a job.
		Part of warfighting integration is the creation of an enterprise-wide services bus, a kind of central connecting point for all the computer-based applications the Air Force uses.

		At the senior levels he should be fully capable of articulating, applying, and integrating MAGTF warfighting capabilities in a joint and combined environment and should be an expert in the art of war at all levels.
		The challenge is to identify and adopt a concept of warfighting consistent with our understanding of the nature and theory of war and the realities of the modern battlefield.
		Maneuver warfare is a warfighting philosophy that seeks to shatter the enemy's cohesion through a series of rapid, violent, and unexpected actions which create a turbulent and rapidly deteriorating situation with which he cannot cope.

	A Fundamental Shift in the Business of Warfighting
		In a network-centric system, however, there is an added complexity--namely, that warfighting functions must be allocated across the operational network's platforms so that BMC4I (battle management command, control, communication, computers, and intelligence) interfaces can remain stable over long periods while the functions themselves evolve independently.
		In the network-centric warfighting model, consistent and reliable service is mandatory if complex warfighting requirements are to be supported properly at the battle-force level.
		Warfighters and systems engineers alike do this by analyzing potential enemy courses of action and identifying future information needs.

	Transforming joint warfighting capabilities Joint Force Quarterly - Find Articles
		Moreover, the Secretary of Defense instructed the Armed Forces to first "pursue the global war on terrorism" and second "strengthen joint warfighting capabilities." Those capabilities are critical in deterring and defeating enemies that rely on surprise, deception, and asymmetric warfare.
		In addition, getting these capabilities to warfighters in a timely fashion is critical, particularly in the information age with its rapid and compressed changes.
		It is augmented by supporting commands, coalition partners, and a center of excellence coordinated group of international, nongovernmental, and private sector organizations from which a joint task force commander can tailor task forces for a range of missions.

	Al Qaeda as Warfighting Entity - Military Photos
		Yet others argued that al Qaeda is not sufficiently coherent as an organization to be engaged in warfighting and that what the United States faces is not a military force but a social movement.
		Punishing the infidel is not a political goal: It is not intended to achieve a political outcome, nor is it intended to create or influence regimes.
		The outcome of the war is still uncertain, and the level of violence is not a measure of anyone's warfighting capability unless you know their resources.

	Air Force standardizing warfighting command, control
		The result is the establishment of regionally or functionally aligned Air Force warfighting headquarters worldwide designed to facilitate the execution and planning of air and space power more efficiently.
		The warfighting headquarters will be an organization above the wing level (and consist) of a command section, an air and space operations center, and a staff to interface with Air Force major commands, the Air Staff, other services and the combatant commander's staff, he said.
		A warfighting headquarters commander should not be worried about operations of base facilities, schools and infrastructure development, but should worry very much about planning and warfighting, the general said.

	REPORT ON INSS 1998 JOINT OPERATIONS SYMPOSIUM
		Whether the template for future warfighting is JV 2010, the RMA, or Rapid Dominance, a robust concept must be filled out by a holistic change in the many elements that make up and underpin military strategies and capabilities.
		To build a matrix that assesses six selected warfighting scenarios versus a number of concepts and capabilities that might be used in warfighting in the future.
		This bias towards warfighting operations at the high end of the spectrum was in some ways even more pronounced for accelerated RMA forces, which were thought to have great utility in conflicts against near-peer adversaries, but less relevance in complex contingencies or coercion and deterrence operations.

	Columbine, Green Bay, and Warfighting (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		That ad hoc entry team was composed of SWAT officers with their basic gear in hand and a clear mission to stop the threat, and yet they were called back.
		The real lesson of the Green Bay arrests is that we must continue to train, train, train for the day one of these terrible incidents starts again so we can stop it as quickly as possible with the least risk to our officers, deputies, troopers or agents.
		That is the goal of the concept of Warfighting and I hope all commanders and supervisors take time to read this short but important document that could ultimately save many lives.

		They are expecting the Office of the Secretary of the Air Force, Chief of Warfighting Integration and Chief Information Officer to accomplish two key objectives of Gen. John Jumper, the service's chief of staff: rid service computers and networks of the dreaded Microsoft Windows hourglass and, in military parlance, shorten the kill chain.
		He said the office took longer than expected to materialize because change is hard, but it will enable the service to dominate air, space and information.
		Air Force officials considered linking warfighting and business IT in 2003 when they formed the Commanders Integrated Product Team, which led to the formation of SAF/XC, said Jack Woodward, a retired Air Force lieutenant general who last served as director of communications and information systems and deputy CIO.
