On 29 Oct 10, TRISA-Threats forwarded the final electronic file of Training Circular (TC) 7-100 through the Army Training Support Center (ATSC) to the Army Publishing Directorate (APD) for publication in electronic media only. A hybrid threat is the diverse and dynamic combination of regular forces, irregular forces, and/or criminal elements all unified to achieve mutually beneficial effects.
The purpose of this TC is to describe hybrid threats and summarize the manner in which such threats may operationally organize to fight U.S. forces. TC 7-100 also outlines the strategy, operations, tactics, and organization of the Hybrid Threat that represents a composite of actual threat forces as an opposing force (OPFOR) for training exercises.
