I don't think so.
This article by William S. Lind describes Sprey and Boyd as reformers, not RMA guys, and says they are opposite camps. http://www.counterpunch.org/lind05292008.html
This article also calls them reformers, not RMA guys. http://www.afa.org/magazine/feb2008/0208reformers.asp. It is a good overview of the movement, and of the history of the debate between simplicity + numbers v. comlexity + capability, although it is written by one of the antagonists in that argument.
The reformers advocated cheaper simpler systems in large numbers, and made the arguments Sprey makes in the article against gold plated, expensive, low unit production systems.
Some of their prognostications did not pan out:
It was high tide for the Reformers. Also in 1983, Gary Hart sought to force the cancellation of a host of programs, including the F-15, improved versions of the F-16, the radar guided AMRAAM missile, the LANTIRN night targeting system, and an infrared version of the Maverick ground-attack missile. The effort failed, but Reformism was rippling through Washington.The thrust of the article is that in subsequent conflicts the reformers arguments have been decisively refuted. The Gulf War and the invasion of Iraq are pretty strong evidence of this refutation.The Reformers, though they focused on the Air Force’s tactical airpower, also targeted some Army and Navy systems. One of Sprey’s “expensive losers” was the M1 tank. The older M60 was cheaper and more effective, he said.
Boyd's OODA loop construct is true genius, and is a big driver for the RMA, so there is some irony in this quite interesting history.
Regards,
The debate over who "owned" the revolution in military affairs is like arguing who is the most holy christian defender of the faith. At ths point the issue is an interesting historical one. The 5 rings strategy which is sort of the forerunner of "shock and awe" is Waerden's development with a lot of help drawing on Boyd. Netwar, using a large number of independent affordable systems rather than putting all one's eggs in one basket is the product of a lot of that thinking.
