a. ASW: Anti-Submarine Warfare is the destruction or neutralization of enemy submarines. It includes the action taken by aircraft, surface ships, and other submarines. The goal of ASW is to deny the enemy the effective use of its submarine.
b. ASUW: Anti-Surface Warfare is the destruction or neutralization of enemy surface combatants and merchant ships. The aim of ASUW is to deny the enemy the effective use of its surface warships and cargo-carrying vessels.
c. IW: Information Warfare is the action taken to achieve information superiority over the adversary by influencing his information and information-based processes, systems, and computer-based networks, while defending our own. IW capitalizes on the growing sophistication, connectivity, and reliance on information technology. The ultimate target of IW is the information-dependent process, human or automated. Intelligence and communications support are critical to conducting offensive and defensive IW.
d. AW: Air Warfare is the action required to destroy or reduce an enemy's air and missile threat. It includes the use of interceptors, bombers, antiaircraft guns, surface-to-air missiles (SAMs), air-to-air missiles (AAMs), and electronic attack (EA) procedures. It also includes the destruction of the missile threat before and after launch. Other measures used to reduce the effects of hostile air actions include cover, concealment, dispersion, deception (including electronic), and mobility.
e. STW: Strike Warfare is the destruction or neutralization of enemy land-based targets with conventional or nuclear missiles. This includes targets assigned to nuclear strategic forces, building yards, and operating bases from which an enemy is capable of conducting or supporting air, surface, or subsurface operations.
f. NSW: Special Warfare is distinguished by unique objectives, weapons, and forces, and is characterized by the following:
Principally offensive, involving high physical and political risk
Directed at high-value, critical, and often perishable targets
Principally politico-military in nature and subject to oversight at the national level
Frequently covert or clandestine
It includes special mobile operations, unconventional warfare, coastal and river interdiction, beach and coastal reconnaissance, and tactical intelligence operations.
b. ASUW: Anti-Surface Warfare is the destruction or neutralization of enemy surface combatants and merchant ships. The aim of ASUW is to deny the enemy the effective use of its surface warships and cargo-carrying vessels.
