Preemptive War Doctrine

Preemptive War Doctrine is a military doctrine that prescribes the initiation of hostilities by a state against an anticipated enemy threat, distinguished from reactive or retaliatory strategies by its reliance on intelligence indicating an imminent attack, thereby justifying proactive use of force to neutralize the threat before it materializes.
