叛亂是有組織的運動，旨在通過顛覆和武裝沖突來推翻政府。這是一個曠日持久的政治軍事斗爭，旨在削弱政府控制，同時增加叛軍控制的合法性。政治斗爭是叛亂的主要問題。它是無法通過常規(guī)手段達到自己的政治軍事目標的群體采取的策略。

叛亂的特點是長期的和非對稱的暴力，占據有利地形（叢林，山地，市區(qū)），再加上大量使用心理戰(zhàn)并動員群眾，一切旨在保護叛亂分子，最終通過他們的努力改變權力。叛亂分子可能企圖奪取政權，取代現(xiàn)有的政府（革命的叛亂），也可能有更多的目標，如自主性，或某項政策的改變。

他們避免對抗在他們薄弱的領域，例如常規(guī)軍事能力，他們做的更多的是心理和政治工作。叛軍盡量推遲自己的行動，避免失敗，維持并且擴大他們的支持力度，并希望隨著時間的推移，政治權力的平衡對他們有利的方向變化。
