@@usuallyhapless9481 Reminds me of my time in high school, where they send a psychologist after me to help me cope with my autism, and they would try to explain to me how others think, and how I think... I still think 60-70% of it was total nonsense. :P
A particularly famous example illustrating how surprise and tempo can paralyze decision making in an enemy is the Fall of France campaign of 1940. Operational surprise and the very slow centralized decision-making process of the French high command lead to strategic paralysis as decisions made became increasingly outdated to the actual situation on the ground.
People always wonder how france fell so fast, and thats exactly it, they just couldnt keep up with the developing situation and got ran over, its a good reason why its important to act proactively
A good ISR plan will also help extend your Observe and Orient phases, as you learn more earlier. E.g.: you are told about the car when its 100m away as opposed to when you step off the curb.
during my apprenticeship to become a chemical plant operator/worker they gave us the code of "Sehen-Denken-Handeln" or "See-Think-Act" in english. It helps in critical situations to do those three easy steps to overcome those situations without making critical failures.
It is also important to let a situation develop, before taking immediate action, its heavily dependent on the situation, but acting to quickly is how you wander into ambushes and find yourself out of position when it matters
Perhaps a little immature of me, but the "OODA loop" is quite funny sounding. Though definitely an interesting theory, and a great explanation mr hapless
Not going to lie, when I first saw the title to this video, I thought to myself "hmm, I've heard of the Fulda Gap, but never the OODA Loop - this should be interesting". And it was interesting, just not in the way I expected it.
I was trained during the dawn of Boyd acolytes in the Marine Corps and the maneuver warfare advocates but Lazerpig has made me reexamine some of the doctrine we were taught.
I mean, I don’t like Lazerpig, so there’s nothing more to add on that. I just think the OODA loop isn’t trustworthy because it’s not backed by academic research. Sure, it’s cool that a bunch of military guys got together and developed such a system, but if it’s inaccurate, it could actually harm the army.
Bold of you to assume that the car isn't trying to hit me. The drivers in my city are absolutely nuts.
Observe: I see that Usually Happless has uploaded a video
Orient: I have time to watch the video
Decision: I decide to watch the Usually Hapless video
Act: I watch the Usually Hapless video.
Some mad lad has made an entire schematic to explain how we think. I love it.
Yep. It's a pity there isn't a better copy of Boyd's Pattern of Conflicts lecture out there.

Perfect analogy here.

The OODA loop sounds a lot when two people walk into each other's path and keep going the same directions trying to get around one another.
It can be
Ryan Mcbeth literally just talked about this. Worth a watch from a defence perspective.
I've never really understood the orient section on the OODA loop so thank you for explaining it out
The street crossing example is such a great choice to break down the OODA loop and explain it! I will use that as well from now on :)
I used to use having someone throwing a ball at you, but the street crossing is so much simpler

Almost as funny as 'scuba' ;)

I suspect I'd take the USMC's view as opposed to an opinionated youtuber.
@@whya2ndaccount well there’s plenty of people that think Force Design is wrong too. The Corps is not infallible. 😉
@@c3aloha Sure I'm not against professional discussion and development.
What I am against is a loudmouth trying to impose his view on others.

This reminds me of my board questions when I was in the Army.
wow this is awesome I hope we get more tactic vids like this.
9:00 minutes.
We spent days on this at Capt's School - long ago.
You have an OODA loop, I have a BOHICA loop. We are not the same.
That's a keeper!
The blue pentagram looking thing under Orient looks a lot like your channel logo
Ha! I'd never noticed that.
I strongly recommend you to make one example of OODA layer while you play the CM series next time
Maybe. I don't particulalrly think about it on a conscious level these days
@@usuallyhapless9481 I think u just need 2 or 3 offices and 2 trucks of employees.
This is gold
