Summary/Abstract: The contemporary operational environment is filled with hybrid threats manifested in open wars or in the grey zone conflicts. The challenges posed by an open hybrid conflict to the tactical units’ operations physiognomy are yet to be identified and addressed according to the lessons learned from the conflicts labeled as hybrid. While, to a certain extent, it is obvious what should be the tactical units’ reaction against a hybrid threat in a host nation territory, it is still not clear what options the Land Forces have in the case of a homeland intervention to counter such a threat posed by a covert actor not crossing the threshold that would activate a state of emergency. Another important question mark is referring to the real possibilities of the tactical units to be proactive in order to smoothly prepare the ground for a facile armed intervention against a hybrid threat within its national borders.
