The ability to target your enemy from ANY angle to kill or destroy infrastructure or cause destruction.
Some see the Fifth Generation as a product of new technologies, such as nanotechnology. Others define it as the state’s struggle to maintain its monopoly on war and social organization in the face of Fourth Generation challengers. One correspondent defined it as terrorist acts done by one group in such a manner that they are blamed on another, something traditionally known as “pseudo-operations.”
As with last 72 hours of simultaneously attacks by suicide bombers all over Pakistan this week claimed 90+ lives.One simple test for whether or not something constitutes a generational shift is that, absent a vast disparity in size, an army from a previous generation cannot beat a force from the new generation.
While attempts to think beyond the Four Generations should generally be welcomed, there are some goals to avoid. One is technological determinism, the false notion that war’s outcome is usually determined by superiority in equipment. A related danger is technological hucksterism: coming up with Madison Avenue slogans to sell new weapons programs by claiming that they fundamentally change warfare.
This kind of carnival sideshow act lies at the heart of the so-called “Revolution in Military Affairs,” and it dominates all discussions of national defense. Every contractor who hopes to get his snout in the trough claims that his widget “revolutionizes” war. As the framework of the Four Generations spreads, you can be sure that the Merchants of Death will claim that whatever they are trying to sell is an absolute necessity for Fourth (or Fifth) Generation war. It will all be confirmed death.
The enemy will find other ways to penetrate and target certain upon death to anyone who comes in their way.
It is high time for leadership of Pakistan to wake up and Solidify and setup defense for common average man.
