Currently planned updates:
Introduce difference between analytical and recognitional decision making. They are now in a mix.
Make a clearer distinction between decision making and planning.

A girl friend of mine stumbled across this and pointed out that when you get advice from people you may want to be quiet in considering it instead of debating right away. Sorry about that! I just got...
Thanks slapout, I will check it out.
On the other hand, I think Commander's intent is a bit what remains unsaid.
If you look at the cycle, what Commander's intent implies is that the starting point or objectives are modified or set...
nichols,
I haven't read much on OODA except Boyd's lectures and Howe's and Hammond's books. Do you have a source where I can read up on recognitional decision making? The intent of the article is...
I wrote it. My full name is in the top right corner of the text. It is hosted on my cousin's server. I developed the proposed methodology and mention sources in the text for providing a frame of...
This document considers the OODA cycle in planning, and provides a tool for digesting situations stretching in time and complexity. A few potential uses are exemplified, but it can easily be used in...
OP18 and OP19 could be interesting.
Hi Marc,
It will be interesting to read what you come up with. I have a feeling you are so well read that when you mention a few sources, you are actually stretching across many other fields and...
Those old books are quite interesting in their ways, finished Common Sense a few weeks ago. I still prefer the stories from people with experience on the ground though, Contra Cross is up next along...
Marc, good to hear you too.
Before overseas armed social studies, I better actually accomplish something. ;)
I might have a look at it if there is time inbetween studies, but I am in a pretty...
There is an explanation in the PDF, in the thread with the same title, Lessons Learned: Infantry Squad Tactics in Military Operations in Urban Terrain During Operation Phantom Fury in Fallujah, Iraq.
I pretty much agree. (so far and if I understand you correctly :) )
Hey Marc, reading further in Tribesmen - you were right, it is quite alright. I was way too quick in closing it, it is...
Prepares international public opinion before action is taken, and people tend to forget. They are pushing the danger of the threat while diplomatic approaches are still on the table, which shows both...
Oh thank God you didn't behead me. I was so annoyed with myself yesterday for making that question too quickly. I did think about this, but I do think that I should read up on the details and...
I guess it would be more beneficial to ask smaller questions.
I will have to ponder that some more in my little head. Have you considered psychological/emotional consequences of the...
I know it is lame to quote myself, but I just had to give an example from last night. :)
Marc,
I appreciate your response, you are smart and easy to deal with.
I would like to clarify that that the first part about Jominian and Clausewitzian war theory was just an extrapolation...
Marc,
It is not my intention to be stern or lecturing. I have not studied cultural anthropology nor more than a few articles and a book or so on neuroscience. This is for learning.
It seems...
Sorry, Sir, I'll turn serious again.
What do you think about Joint Publication 1-02?
The following two threads on the Professional Soldiers forum may interest you:

Active unfriendliness.
You will have to wait. It's impossible as smallwarsjournal.com is registered untill July 2008. :p
What's wrong with insurgency, UW, etc?
Could there have been a larger force? Perhaps initially, but the services are incredibly taxed already as it stands today. You see it in stop-loss, contracting, etc.
Sometimes when the people in...
What do you think about Jomini then?
