(Joint Air Power Competence Centre Hq Sact Virginia Usa) - Science Strategy And War The Strategic Theory Of John Boyd - Hardcover","description":"Binding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\nDescription: John Boyd is often known exclusively for the so - called OOD a loop model he developed. This model refers to a decision - making process and to the idea that military victory goes to the side that can complete the cycle from observation to action the fastest. This book aims to redress this state of affairs and re - examines John Boyd's original contribution to strategic theory. By highlighting diverse sources that shaped Boyd's thinking and by offering a comprehensive overview of Boyd's work this volume demonstrates that the common interpretation of the meaning of Boyd's OOD a loop concept is incomplete. It also shows that Boyd's work is much more comprehensive richer and deeper than is generally thought. With his ideas featuring in the literature on Network Centric Warfare a key element of the US and NATO's so - called military transformation programmes as well as in the debate on Fourth Generation Warfare Boyd continues to exert a strong influence on Western military thinking. Dr Osinga demonstrates how Boyd's work can helps us to understand the new strategic threats in the post - 9\/11 world and establishes why John Boyd should be regarded as one of the most important (post)modern strategic theorists.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Science Strategy And War The Strategic Theory Of John Boyd\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Osinga Frans P.
