our OODA loop

OODA? Please explain for us civilian folk.

[Coop]

It's basically the process our forces used to capture Saddam. OODA stands for Observe-Orient-Decide-Act. While I like the process very much, I can't stand that acronym/abbreviation. :-)

Wikipedia has a nice rundown, including a process chart.

It has become an important concept in business and military strategy. According to [creator] John Boyd, decision making occurs in a cycle of observe-orient-decide-act. An entity (either an individual or an organization) that can process this cycle quickly can get inside the opponent's decision cycle and gain a military or business advantage.
