This paper aims to analise how The Fourth Generation Warfare Theory could be applied to describe warfare conflicts after Cold War end. The methodology of this paper is a Fourth Generation Warfare Theory theoric exam, looking at the Second Gulf War in 2003 with the objective to certify if The Fourth Generation Warfare Theory is a consistant theoretical model to define new doctrines of armed forces applicability.
