Definition of Warfeghting

Military term. The ability to conduct warfare. Personnel which are capable of this are referred to as warfighters. Taken together, the two terms serve as a particularly good contemporary example of the manner in which new words are coined to supplant older (see also: neologism), equivalent terms which have been forgotten, shifted in meaning, or acquired archaic connotations. In this case, the equivalent, older terms are warring and warrior. The former has fallen out of common use, and the latter is somewhat archaic. However this is a term coined by the United States Marines and most people still use the terms like conduct warfare or combat ready, and soldier (or in the case of the Royal Marines commando and marine).
