Rhetorical velocityis a term originating from the fields of Composition Studies and Rhetoric used to describe how rhetoricans may strategically theorize and anticipate the third party recomposition of their texts. In their 2009 Kairos:_A_Journal_of_Rhetoric,_Technology,_and_Pedagogy article Composing for Recomposition: Rhetorical Velocity and Delivery[1], Professors Jim Ridolfo and Dànielle Nicole DeVoss provide the example of a writer delivering a press release, where the writer of the release rhetorically anticipates the ways in which the text will be delivered and recomposed into other texts, including news articles, blog posts, and video content. Ridolfo and DeVoss argue that this thinking is indicative of modern notion of actio, one that requires an new strategy and theory for thinking about the delivery, distribution, and recomposition of texts and rhetorical objects.

In 2010, West Point Professor Michael Edwards and Virginia Military Institute Professor D. Alexis Hart interviewed Lieutenant General William_B._Caldwell, the current Commander of the NATO Training Mission in Afghanistan, and asked him about rhetorical velocity and the matter of military documents stamped For Official Use Only.[2]
