Protracted War

Protracted War is a revolutionary warfare strategy wherein a weaker insurgent force systematically sustains prolonged conflict against a stronger adversary through gradual erosion of enemy strength and morale, distinguishing it from conventional or short-duration military engagements by its emphasis on temporal endurance, popular mobilization, and phased advancement toward strategic objectives.
