<< Psychological force projection. Why did Russia present hypersonic guided re-entry vehicles? >>

Anon on 8, said “force projection” is a term coined during Viet Nam, means throwing everything available, by a state or nation, that you have, or most of it, all of it engaged.

Have no clue, here.

I suppose that is a possible take, but typically, "force projection" is showing the capability, not necessarily using it. Putting an aircraft carrier group offshore is force projection. More like "to brandish" than "to fire."
