Design for military operations

[Ron Humphrey]

Dave et al,

I am a US Marine attending SAMS with Dave. Reading through this thread, I have just a few comments on some things that I found interesting.

I think I get what your saying.
If you take any situation and examine it you always have three known points and one unknown-
Where you were, Where you are, and where you want to be

What actually happens has to constantly be adjusted to in relation to the last(where you want to be). This may be where design methodology actually comes in most useful since it generally helps one to do what you speak of

Instead, it is a MINDSET. It is nothing more than considering as many variables and factors that affect the ability for a unit to MANAGE, not SOLVE, complex adaptive problems.

as to that last part

But what do I know? I'm just a dumb Marine tanker.....

S/F,
John

Considering what it takes to do your job not sure thats possible
