    abstract = {Military doctrine play a crucial role at various levels (strategic, operational and tactical) to describe
and explain military approach of states such as how to mobilize and support involved forces, describe and
illustrate the campaign, explain the best approaches to drive forces. Military doctrine with an agent centrality
and approach is considered as the main core of forming practices of military operations on asymmetric warfare.
In this research, researchers have tried to introduce agent-centered military doctrines on asymmetric warfare
as well as providing an appropriate model for that. The research approach was inductive and it was done in a
qualitative way. According to grounded theory, data collection has been done through interview, reviewing
relevant documents and theorizing based on systematic approach in three main steps: open coding, axial coding
and selective coding. Findings have been organized in 53 categories and 6 contents (propositions); the position
and relations of each content have been determined in the paradigm model and six related theorems have been
extracted. In order to explain the pattern of agent-centered military doctrines, sex contents include asymmetric
environment (casual conditions; agent-centered doctrine (central category); information technology and
communication, logistics, social networks an media (intervening conditions) idea, cultural, social, ideological
ideas (context and underlying); leadership development, education system based on asymmetric warfare,
mythologize and create authority, discoursing based on ideology purposes, symbolization (actions and
interaction strategies) should be noticed so that it can finally leads to the contents of agent-centered doctrine
(outcome). Accordingly, it has been provided the final model of agent-centered military doctrine on asymmetric
warfare and six final relevant propositions.}
