Sheepdog Tip of the Day, During Combat tip 201
If we use the Boyd loop successfully, we actually give ourselves more time to think. This happens because we are able to reduce the mental workload by making the entire decision making process more intuitive and developing a smaller collection of "menu options" to pick from. We are using a smooth and efficient thought process that allows us to maintain our focus and at the same time devote a portion of our conscious mind to continually working its way through the OODA loop. We can prepare ourselves to make better decisions on the fireground if we examine the work of Boyd and use the concepts he pioneered in our training.
