• USAF Colonel John Boyd was a fighter pilot and military strategist, whose "OODA Loop" concept is considered central to current military thought, though he is popularly obscure.

  • A really great essay explaining Boyd's groundbreaking concepts can be found here: FORTY SECOND BOYD AND THE BIG PICTURE, by Bill Whittle (a fine military tactician in his own right, his blog, Eject, Eject, Eject!, is a true gem).

What is the aim or purpose of strategy? To improve our ability to shape and adapt to unfolding circumstances, so that we (as individuals or as groups or as a culture or as a nation-state) can survive on our own terms. - John R. Boyd
