fifth column mercenary pacifism privateer private military company soldiers are murderers category v t e land warfare or ground warfare is the process of military operations eventuating in combat that takes place predominantly on the battlespace land surface of the planet 1 land warfare is categorized by the use of large numbers of combat personnel employing a diverse set of combat skills methods and a wide variety of weapon systems and equipment conducted in diverse terrains and weather environments land warfare by virtue of being conducted in defence of urban and rural population areas dominates the study of war and is a focus for most national defence policy planning and financial considerations land warfare in history has undergone several distinct transitions in conduct from a large concentration of largely untrained and irregularly armed populace used in frontal assaults to current employment of combined arms concepts with highly trained regular troops using a wide variety of organisational weapon and information systems and employing a variety of strategic operational and tactical doctrines although land combat in the past was conducted by the combat arms of the armed forces since world war ii it has largely involved three distinct types of combat units infantry armour and artillery these arms since the age of sail have used amphibious warfare concepts and methods to project power from the seas and oceans and since the wide introduction of military transport aircraft and helicopters have used airborne forces and vertical envelopment to the variety of doctrines used to prosecute warfare on land land forces edit this section needs more citations please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources unsourced material may be challenged and

coastal areas against seaborne attack and controlled the passage of ships using their ability to deny access through the threat of coastal fire it also includes land based field artillery with the advent of powered flight at the start of the 20th century artillery also included ground based anti aircraft batteries combined arms edit main article combined arms combined arms is an approach to
