*firepower*

*’firepower’ is the military capability to direct ‘force’ at an ‘enemy’*

.

(it is not to be confused with the concept of rate of fire, which describes cycling of the ‘firing mechanism’ in a ‘weapon system’)

(‘firepower’ involves the whole range of ‘potential weapons’)

(the concept is generally taught as 1 of the 3 key principles of ‘modern warfare’ wherein the ‘enemy forces’ are ‘destroyed’ or have their ‘will to fight’ negated by ‘sufficient’ (and preferably ‘overwhelming’) use of ‘force’ as a result of ‘combat operations’)

(through the ages, ‘firepower’ has come to mean ‘offensive power’ applied from a ‘distance’, thus involving ‘ranged weapons’ as opposed to ‘one-on-one close-quarters combat’)

(firepower is thus something employed to keep ‘enemy forces’ at a range where they can be defeated ‘in detail’ or ‘sapped of the will to continue’)

.

(in the field of ‘naval artillery’, the weight of a ‘broadside’ was long used as a ‘figure of merit’ of a warship’s ‘firepower’)
