( Military campaign)
In the military sciences, a military campaign is a term applied to large scale, long duration, significant military strategy plan incorporating a series of inter-related military operations forming a distinct part of a larger conflict often called a war. A military campaign denotes the time during which a given military force conducts combat operations in a given area (often referred to as AO, area of operations). A military campaign may be executed by either a single Armed Service, or as a combined services campaign conducted by land, naval, air and space forces. A military campaign is conducted with the purpose of achieving a particular desired resolution of a military conflict as its strategic goal, usually within a clearly defined resource, geographic and time limited criteria. Although the duration of a campaign may be as short as a few weeks, due to the nature of campaign goals, they usually last several months, or even a year as defined by Trevor N. Dupuy. A campaign is a phase of a war involving a series of operations related in time and space and aimed towards a single, specific, strategic objective or result in the war. A campaign may include a single battle, but more often it comprises a number of battles over a protracted period of time or a considerable distance, but within a single theatre of operations or delimited area. A campaign may last only a few weeks, but usually lasts several months or even a year.[1]
