Interesting conceptual framework!
Hi Tom,
Thanks for posting it. I've only skimmed through the conceptual framework so far, but I think that this could be another dimension.
Steve, I'm thinking of this as a "dimension" because I really hate the static, either/or concept of Regular vs Irregular. I know there are a lot of historical examples where so-called irregulars annihilated "regulars" in combat settings (the one that pops to mind is the Teutenberg wald in 9ce). Since you have been doing a lot of work on the Indian Wars, how would you classify the Tennessee Militia under Jackson, say, after the 1814 campaign? Regular? Irregular? half and Half? How about the Georgia Militia of the same period (I think Jackson refered to them as first to loot, last to fight"?
