Kill chain (military)

The term kill chain is a military concept which identifies the structure of an attack. It consists of:

  • identification of target
  • dispatching of forces to target
  • initiation of attack on target
  • destruction of target

Conversely, the idea of "breaking" an opponent's kill chain is a method of defense or preemptive action.
