Conventional warfare refers to a type of conflict that involves regular military forces engaging in direct combat using traditional weapons and tactics. This form of warfare typically includes battles between armies, navies, and air forces, often characterized by organized units and established rules of engagement. In conventional warfare, the goal is usually to defeat the enemy's military forces and gain control over territory. It contrasts with unconventional warfare, which may involve guerrilla tactics, sabotage, or other non-traditional methods. Examples of conventional warfare can be seen in major conflicts like World War I and World War II.
