Not OK and depends on the context. By act of war, do you mean "warfare?" None of those things are warfare in and of themselves.Originally Posted by slapout9
None of the things you cite, are in of themselves military task to counter.
They may well be criminal. Do they involve killing? All those things are far more likely to fall towards police/state security, than the army.
An Army can only be used against armed force.

- The job of the British Army out here is to kill or capture Communist Terrorists in Malaya.
- If we can double the ratio of kills per contact, we will soon put an end to the shooting in Malaya.

OK so it is Special Warfare instead of all this UW,IW,COIN,FID,FAD,stuff.
Dunno. It's almost certainly "Irregular". May have something to do with "FID." At what point does a fire, merit the fire brigade? Context, context and context.
