title = {Hybride Kriegführung und das „Center of Gravity“ der Entscheidung},
year = {2016},
note = {With the takeover of Crimea by masked Russian soldiers without
national insignia in February/March 2014, with the Kremlin at first
denying its involvement, war became „hybrid“ in our minds. The
follow-on conflict in eastern Ukraine further strengthened the
perception of a hybrid way of warfare, raising the question: What is
hybrid warfare? This article argues that the specific nature of hybrid
warfare is a strategic one and can be identified by three main
characteristics or tendencies: 1. Focusing the decision of the
war/conflict as such primarily on a non-military center of gravity. 2.
Operating in the shadow of different interfaces against specific
vulnerabilities of the opponent, thus challenging traditional lines of
order and responsibilities. 3. Creative combination and parallel use
of different concepts, methods and means of warfare and fighting,
hereby creating “new” mixed, hybrid forms.},
