Yes, a very dangerous game going on here:(

It is like the old style Mafia, they were sending a message along with the attack.;)

And somebody is doing a pretty good job against Iran on this one...of course we don't know who is doing this:rolleyes:

...

Hope after all, there is a thread on here somewhere from a few years ago where I recommended doing that based upon what Warden taught on how to target leaders inside companies with the 5 rings method...

Close Wilf, it is the Air Policing Strategy applied from the ground. Which I am a strong advocate of. Much to do was made about the Air Policing Strategy because of bombing villages......very little...

Very good paper on Targeting with SBW. Appears the Army has been doing EBO all along;)

I have talked to Warden about that and the shouting match is probably a polite way to describe it compared to what actually happened.:eek: Also he did have a situation where he actually was fired...

Hi Tom, I thought you were quoting from the book and I was thinking to myself I just read that:confused:



Warden was asked by Swartzkopff (spelling) and Powell to brief Horner. Yes he was asked...

Hi Tom, I did that is why I posted the report that I did. The lines you quote are almost identical from ones that appear throughout the Crony Strategy as to how best to affect the enemies will. It's...

I have several of these human system maps that I was going to post later on but since we are well into this I will put them up now. You will have to scroll down several pages to see the map but it is...

I agree, Descartes had to ride the little short yellow bus to school:wry: had to break everything down for him to learn it.

Hi Marct, I am not surprised you noticed that... being a Anthro Man and all;) The first book I think that became known to the General Population in th 60's was the one by Ludwig Von Bertalanffy's...

Hi all, Bill I don't exp ext the Air Force to bail me out nor do I need them to. I know how to Strike and Hold:D ( for those who don't know that was my unit motto from 2/504 of the 82nd Airborne...

Everything is a system Wilf. And every system connects to another system all the way up to the universe. Below is one of the best introductions to systems thinking I have ever read. it is short and...

Hi Wilf, I was rather confused at your response about systems. A short definitions os a system is persons,places,and things using a process to accomplish some purpose. The Army has the purpose of...

Bill, you hold on to them cheerleaders cause I haven't finished yet.

1-My intention was to show how well CARVER would work when you are figuring out how to defend large physical systems with...

Maybe not, since General Mattis took over JFC the handbook on the Effects Based Approach has been pulled :wry:

It is also nice to have someone agree with me because I have been saying this since I...

Here is a PDF file on how CARVER can be adapted to almost to any situation. This one is CARVER+Shock used in the food industry. The first time I saw this in LE was with the NYPD some years back. This...

5 Rings Targeting of a terrorist organization. Absolutely one of the best papers on Warden's theory and how it can be applied to any organization. Warden left as commandant of the Air Command and...

Excellent paper on how Warden's Rings can be used to Target any organization.

Hi Wilf, You just ask the question of all questions. That is one reason I called this thread Targeting instead of EBO. The reason in my opinion is that almost all EBO documents somehow reference the...

Hi Norfolk, sure go ahead. In fact if you applied to Maxwell for a degree in SBW it would probably fly:) right through. They wouldn't have a clue what you were talking about but it sounds good. As...

Wilf, here is a little deeper back round on the beginnings of what became known as EBO.

1-I guess this is pretty much the paper that started it all. "The Enemy As A System" by Col. John Warden...
