À propos de cet audio
In this episode of Dead Warrior Society, we dive deep into the origins of Unconventional Warfare (UW) through the lens of one of America’s earliest masters of chaos—Francis Marion, the legendary Swamp Fox.
Before there was doctrine, there was instinct—and Marion’s instinct was insurgency. We break down how his campaigns during the Revolutionary War, especially the raids at Black Mingo and Tearcoat Swamp, reveal timeless principles of guerrilla warfare that still echo in modern U.S. Army UW doctrine.
From maintaining local support and living off the land, to targeting vulnerable Tory militias for resupply, Marion’s small, agile bands of fighters waged a campaign that bogged down Cornwallis in the Carolina low country and reshaped how wars could be fought.
Join us as we explore how Francis Marion embodied the insurgent leader’s mindset—disrupting a superior enemy, inspiring resistance, and proving that chaos, when mastered, can be a weapon.
