Abstract

biguity, complexity, multidimensionality and processuality are the most important characteristics of the latest war method. Combined war is a wide range of dimensions and components in a homogeneous and heterogeneous manner, which is used in this type of war, which is considered a non-linear war. For this reason, a constant vigilance against the enemy is one of the musts of an independent system with many enemies. Based on this, the main goal of the research is to answer the question, “What is the pattern of implementing hybrid warfare?”
The present research is of applied-developmental type, descriptive-analytical research method with mixed approach. Considering the specialization of the research topic and the limited availability of experts, first, by using library sources and semi-structured interviews with experts in this field, the dimensions and components and sub-components were calculated, and then the factors obtained by The questionnaire was distributed and collected among 75 people from the community. The findings of the research show that the combined war has 2 dimensions; There are “inactive pests” and “active pests”. The dimension of “passive offense” with 8 components and 42 sub-components and the dimension of “active offense” with 2 components and 12 sub-components were measured, evaluated and confirmed, and finally, the model of the implementation of combined warfare was presented as well as suggestionsAmm
