Active combat refers to the direct engagement between opposing military forces during armed conflict, characterized by the use of weapons and tactics to achieve specific objectives. It involves soldiers actively participating in battles or skirmishes, often resulting in casualties and destruction. This phase of warfare contrasts with periods of preparation, retreat, or negotiation, where no direct fighting occurs. Active combat typically emphasizes mobility, strategy, and the immediate response to threats.
