The Dead Warrior Society
The Rise of European Asymmetrical Warfare in North America
In this episode of The Dead Warrior Society, we set the stage for a deep dive into one of history’s most intriguing military figures: Robert Rogers and his legendary Ranger Companies. Known for their brutal and effective use of asymmetrical warfare during the French and Indian War, Rogers and his men revolutionized the way small groups could fight larger, more organized forces.
But before we jump into their story, we first explore the concepts of Unconventional Warfare and Irregular Warfare. What do these terms really mean, and why do they often fall short in capturing the true essence of these types of conflicts? In this prelude, we challenge the modern labels often slapped onto irregular conflicts throughout history, including the prehistoric period, and argue that they fail to fully explain the complexities of guerrilla tactics, ambushes, and survival-based strategies.
Join us for a thought-provoking conversation as we break down these terms and get ready to dive deeper into the world of Robert Rogers and the asymmetric strategies that forever changed warfare.
