Conventional warfare follows the concept of a single battle, in which two or more well-defined forces use weapons that target the opposing force. The contiguous battle space is well defined with a deep, near and rear zone allowing the force commander to group his forces which can be displayed visually in a line graph. This is not true in unconventional warfare, where the rear area may also be close and deep combat and forces may target the civilian population through direct, indirect or propaganda attacks. The will of the people plays an important role in unconventional warfare and their support for one or the other force is equally important. The Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF), the Marine Corps force in readiness, is capable and properly equipped to conduct not only conventional but unconventional/irregular warfare. Unconventional/irregular warfare is normally a conflict between opposing forces that differ in relative military power and strategy or tactics from each other. As a result, less technologically advanced forces will use unconventional methods to wage war and exploit the adversary's weakness. Strategy involves coercing a body politic using covert, sabotage, and other tactics for the purpose of subversion or intimidation. In unconventional warfare, civilian populations may be targeted as a means of reducing the legitimate power of the government or political party it has targeted. Unconventional warfare targets the commander's area of ​​responsibility by any means in order to disrupt, discredit, or expel the force from the area. area. This requires the commander to conduct operations against logical lines of operations (LLO). These LLOs are not the same for the classic commitment...... middle of paper ...... or in the evolution of the MAGTF; previous tactics, techniques and lessons learned to respond to the next threat or region. There will be an improvement in equipment, training (both cultural and tactical), personnel (adding civil affairs, economic and infrastructure experts, agricultural specialists and a range of other specialists necessary for the mission). Through all of these changes the one constant theme is the premise of the MAGTF, which still remains the core force of the Marine Corps, capable of conducting operations against conventional and irregular forces.
