Title:
OODA Loop 2.0: A Model For Competition And Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations
Report Date:
2021-06-01
Abstract:
The character of modern warfare is shifting toward one of competition with peer adversaries, and it is important that command and control models and concepts are adapting as well. Given that the Marine Corps' command and control doctrine is based primarily on the theories of John Boyd, it is important to examine how the observe-orient-decide-act (OODA) loop can be augmented and modified in order to account for the impact of technological systems. This thesis examines decision-making theories, command and control doctrine and theories, and the operational environment in order to develop a modified OODA loop that can benefit tactical decision-making while executing expeditionary advanced base operations (EABO). This research used the updated OODA loop to examine two vignettes based on EABO concepts of employment in order to identify command and control challenges during normal operations and in a denied or degraded information environment.
