That's correct. A good concept. The basic explanation why OBE did not markedly improve public education is that the system was unwilling to invest resources in training prospective teachers to be able to execute in the classroom the "outcomes" that the system allegedly demanded.

By and large, for reasons of economy, the system's decision makers refused to acknowledge a massive personnel mismatch between instruction and instructors - which is why your son or daughter might be getting history lessons from a basketball coach or mathematics from an English Lit or Special Ed. major. A mismatch that by and large continues to this day though the problem has, in the last few years, at least been grudgingly recognized.

If the military intends to appropriate OBE for training soldiers they'd best make certain that their instructors have walked the walk - be it COIN, or leading an armored unit, civil affairs or whatever the "outcome" is supposed to be.
