The word asymmetric and theory of it is embedded in US joint and services doctrine, professional magazines, and countless other military publications. As such, the term is used with ever-increasing frequency in military jargon. A problem is derived from this: definitions of the term vary widely across and within the services. This creates a larger problem when service members attempt to apply or react to asymmetry in their profession.
