'''Military swarming''' is a battlefield tactic designed to maximize [[Saturation attack|target saturation]], and thereby overwhelm or complete encirclesaturate the defenses of the principal target or objective. On the other-hand, defenders can overcome attempts at swarming, by launching counter-swarming measures that are designed to neutralize or otherwise repel such attacks.
 
Military swarming is often encountered in [[asymmetric warfare]] where opposing forces are not of the same size, or capacity. In such situations, swarming involves the use of a decentralized force against an opponent, in a manner that emphasizes mobility, communication, unit autonomy and coordination or synchronization.<ref name=Edwards-2000>{{cite book
