found: Hybrid warfare: preparing for future conflict, 2015:abstract (Hybrid warfare is the use of conventional and unconventional ways and means -- by any combination of state and non-state actors -- within the same battlespace. Conventional and unconventional ways and means includes forces, weapons, tactics, and are characterized by the use of modern technology and a high degree of unit and effort between regular and irregular forces)
found: Hybrid threat: is the HBCT ready for future warfare?, 2009:page 2 (An operative definition of hybrid warfare has been elusive until recently. In December of 2008, Joint Forces Command (JFCOM) adopted the following definition: Any adversary that simultaneously and adaptively employs a tailored mix of conventional, irregular, terrorism and criminal means or activities in the operational battle space. Rather than a single entity, a hybrid threat or challenger may be a combination of state and non-state actors. An expanded definition, not accepted by JFCOM is, an adversary that simultaneously and adaptively employs some combination of (1) political, military, economic, social and information means, and (2) conventional, irregular, catastrophic, terrorism, and disruptive/ criminal warfare methods. It may include a combination of state and non-state actors)
found: From fourth generation warfare to hybrid warfare, 2009:page 22 (hybrid conflicts during which state and non-state actors simultaneously exploit all modes -- conventional, irregular, terrorist, disruptive, or criminal -- to destabilize an existing order ; a hybrid threat is one that can incorporate 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. Hybrid war can be conducted by states, a variety of non-state actors, or a combination of the two)

They have been an effective and sometimes surprising mix of military and non-military, conventional and irregular components, and can include all kinds of instruments such as cyber and information operations. None of the single components is new; it is the combination and orchestration of different actions that achieves a surprise effect and creates ambiguity, making an adequate reaction extremely difficult)
