Non-state actors, guerrillas and crime groups alike ushered in an era of terrorism and a world of state versus non-state actors. There has been a blending of the types of conflicts by both state and non-state actors, which has commonly been referred to as "hybrid warfare." This research will focus on three cases: the Islamic State (IS), Russia, and Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) (in Farsi, sepa¯h-e pa¯sda¯ra¯n-e enqela¯b-e esla¯mi ). The question presented is, what distinguishes each cases' actions within the context of conventional, irregular, terrorist, and criminal activities and how have the contours of hybrid warfare changed over time? The Islamic State is the non-state actor, Russia is a "cloaked" state, conducting actions that are not state-like, and finally the IRGC, or Iran's "praetorian guards," which consist of both state and non-state qualities. Frank G. Hoffman's definition of hybrid warfare will be used as a template to grade each of the variants. He defines hybrid warfare as a combination of a "full range of different modes of warfare including conventional capabilities, irregular tactics and formations, terrorist acts including indiscriminate violence and coercion, and criminal disorder." Therefore, to be considered a hybrid actor according to this definition, the actor must qualify as conventional, irregular, terrorist, and criminal. Hezbollah was the first case study to be considered a full hybrid and will be used as the control group. However, this research suggests that not all components are required. Instead, three or more variables is sufficient. Through a case study analysis, this research will not only show that these cases are hybrid actors, but also the importance of hybrid warfare in responding to modern threats.
