Rapid dominance
Appearance
Rapid dominance is a method of unconventional warfare that advocates defeating an adversary by swift action against all aspects of their ability to resist, rather than by strictly military force.
The United States government considers Shock and Awe to be a method of achieving the doctrine of rapid dominance.
