Summary/Abstract: In the ever changing and diversifying physiognomy of conflict – characterised mainly by: replacing the interest to occupy a territory with the interest to influence events; renouncing the necessity of being present in favour of the requirement to control in order to influence and possibly to intervene; avoiding, if possible, direct armed confrontations; changing the goal of causing substantial losses with the one of avoiding them –, it may be noted that only the efficient, integrated use of the available military and civilian capabilities represents the key element that makes it possible for the new strategic objectives to be met.
