Hey Bananas:

In the context of reference, organized warfare is when the culture from which the warriors originate, organizes to train, arm and deploy the military element. Of course it's for turf.
'Turf' has to do with natural resources (especially water), as well as livestock and very importantly, slaves.

It may be both nature and nurture, but there are two established schools of thought under those titles and this thread is up casting a hopeful net for an array of responses.
