Defense Against Unrestricted Warfare
The authors note that an old-fashioned mentality that considers military action the only offensive action is inadequate given the new range of threats.

Moreover, given this type of composite force, it is also necessary to have this type of composite force to become the means which can be utilized for actual operations. This should be a "grand warfare method" which combines all of the dimensions and methods in the two major areas of military and non-military affairs so as to carry out warfare. This is opposite of the formula for warfare methods brought forth in past wars."
