New Rules of War

[William F. Owen]

For the purposes of this monograph, a
swarming case is any historical example in which the scheme of
maneuver involves the convergent attack of five (or more) semi-
autonomous (or autonomous) units on a targeted force in some par-
ticular place.3 “Convergent” implies an attack from most of the
points on the compass.

I think we can all agree that this does not describe swarming, in any way that is useful. Five is a swarm?
