About this event
JSOU Snapshot is a series of short learning videos made just for you, busy special operations professionals, to educate and inform on topics of interest, confusion, controversy, and question. The objective of these short videos is to teach or clarify concepts that are important for you to know, in 5 minutes or less. In this video, we clarify the nature of irregular warfare, an often misunderstood concept. Keep an eye out for more JSOU Snapshots in the near future!
