What is conventional conflict?

Conventional conflict refers to armed confrontations between nation-states or organized military forces that rely on traditional warfare tactics, including the use of conventional weapons and strategies. This type of conflict typically involves battles on land, sea, or air, adhering to established rules of engagement and international laws. Unlike unconventional warfare, which may include guerrilla tactics, terrorism, or cyber warfare, conventional conflict is characterized by its structured and state-centric nature. It often aims for clear military objectives and territorial control.
