Orientation: Are you in the loop?
By Fire Service Warrior
Col. John Boyd, USAF (ret), perhaps is best known for this OODA Loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) model of decision making.
Members of the fire service have begun to embrace the OODA Loop, but in some instances they forget a key factor. Your Orientation is your gateway into the loop.
This week, I tackle the topic of Orientation and the importance of our Orientation to using the OODA Loop effectively and developing an accurate sense of our reality.
