Hybrid warfare has emerged as a multidimensional approach to conflict that combines military and non-military capabilities to influence strategic outcomes, weaken adversaries, and strengthen national objectives. It integrates information operations, psychological operations, cyber capabilities, strategic communications, influence campaigns, intelligence, civil-military coordination, and resilience to address complex and evolving security challenges. This training program explores the strategic concepts, operational frameworks, and governance models that underpin hybrid warfare and information operations within contemporary defense environments.
