GPC
Great Power Competition (GPC) is the strategic rivalry between major global nations, primarily the United States, China, and Russia. This competition is waged across multiple fronts, including economic, technological, diplomatic, and military domains, to gain global influence.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Great Power Competition (GPC) is a military and geopolitical doctrine defining the long-term, multi-domain strategic rivalry between peer and near-peer nation-states, such as the United States, the People's Republic of China (PRC), and Russia. The framework encompasses competition across diplomatic, information, military, and economic (DIME) instruments of national power to shape the international order.
BACKGROUND
The Yemeni Armed Forces are the military forces of the Republic of Yemen. They include the Yemeni Army, Yemeni Navy and the Yemeni Air Force. Since the start of the current civil war in 2014, the armed forces have been divided; at first between loyalists of the former president Ali Abdullah Saleh and pro-Yemeni government forces of president Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi; as of 2025, between the internationally recognized Presidential Leadership Council (PLC), and the Houthi-led Supreme Political Council (SPC). Per the constitution, the President of Yemen serves as the commander-in-chief. Currently, the presidency and supreme command of the armed forces is disputed between Rashad al-Alimi, Chairman of the PLC, and Mahdi al-Mashat, chairman of the SPC. Before the civil war, the united military was headquartered in the country's capital, Sanaa.
