Many of us have, and continue to do so, and that's why some folks here are pointing out that there is nothing especially new or unique about "swarming." You might be better served asking why the professional force as a whole seems to have been so surprised by what is essentially a basic form of tribal-based warfare.

Simply creating a new acronym for a technique does not automatically make it either new or unique. Within our own military history framework, any veteran of the Indian Wars could have told you about swarming, and any helicopter pilot from Vietnam could have told you that RPGs are, in fact, a great anti-helicopter weapon. Yet we seem to have to constantly relearn lessons.
