Konceptualizacja zdalnej wojny: przeszłość, teraźniejszość i przyszłość

Abstract

The article presents a conceptualization of “remote warfare,” emphasizing that there are two approaches to its treatment. First, a narrow understanding, where remote warfare is understood as a set of approaches to military operations that do not require the full deployment of state or coalition forces. Second, a broad understanding, ranging from the use of special forces and private military companies to the provision of weapons, technology, intelligence, and finance to local defense forces. In the 21st century, long-range warfare has been and continues to be the most common form of military engagement used by nations. Although long-distance war necessarily involves distance, it also requires close relations through training missions between troops, the formation of political alliances, and the establishment of bases, compounds, and airfields.
