Be sure to visit our new website! https://deadwarriorsociety.com/ The Indian Militia and Descriptions of the Indies By Captain Bernardo de Vargas Machuca https://amzn.to/4agiMw7 ---------- In this episode of the Dead Warrior Society Podcast, we dig into one of the most overlooked tactical manuals in military history: Vargas Machuca’s late-16th-century conquistador ranger handbook. Written for small, autonomous units operating deep in hostile territory, Machuca’s work reads less like theory and more like a hard-earned field manual. We break down how Spanish frontier fighters conducted patrols, reconnaissance, raids, and ambushes, how they established and defended patrol bases, and how discipline, leadership, and equipment maintenance were treated as combat multipliers. From firearms and edged weapons to dogs, indigenous auxiliaries, and psychological warfare, we explore the tools and methods Machuca believed were necessary to survive and win against numerically superior enemies. This episode connects early modern irregular warfare to modern small-unit tactics, showing how many of these principles would feel right at home in today’s ranger handbook. ---------- 00:00 – Intro 00:52 – DWS Website, Upcoming Merch, and Reading List 02:01 – RTC Combat Coat Ad Read 03:20 – The Indian Militia and Descriptions of the Indies by Cpt Bernardo De Vargas Machuca 04:56 – First Counter Insurgency Doctrine in the Pre-Modern World? 06:30 – Conquest Operations vs Paramilitary LE Operations 07:28 – Commander’s Responsibilities and Obligations 08:55 – Average Conquistador Profile 09:50 – Determination, Courage, and other Necessary Qualities 13:00 – Weapons, Animals, and Tactics of the Conquistador 25:50 – Dogs Hounds and Horses 26:38 – Native Weapons 27:24 – Being Disciplined and Tactically Sound 29:10 – Native American’s Way of War and the Use of Booby Traps 30:40 – Spaniards TTP’s and SOP’s 33:45 – Conclusions and Lessons Learned ---------- https://rangertrainingcompany.com/pro...
