There are a number of theories and definitions of asymmetric warfare but most definitions are inadequate to fully describe the diverse characteristics of asymmetrical warfare, because of diverse forms asymmetric warfare can take it is still obscure. It can hold many surprises and has many unexpected formats and designs. It can hold many surprises fully explored. It is not easy to formulate any standard course of action that can be employed to fight diverse forms of asymmetrical wars. There are clear indications that the current doctrinal concepts of combat have been ineffective in meeting the challenges of asymmetric wars. It is necessary to initiate a comprehensive review of the basic concepts and theories that underpin the doctrines of fighting asymmetrical wars today.
