This chapter explores the concept of asymmetric warfare through David L. Buffalo's proposed definition, emphasizing the population-centric nature of conflicts between superior and inferior military powers. It discusses various components of asymmetric threats like terrorism, insurgency, and information operations, as well as the manipulation of events like criminal activities and protests by enemies.
