Why Ukraine Adapts Faster: Revolution in Military Affairs & the Real OODA Loop | Fred Stein

Send us Fan Mail A revolution in military affairs needs more than new technology. Fred Stein, co-author of Network Centric Warfare, says doctrine and organization have to move with it. Retired U.S. Army Colonel Fred Stein co-wrote Network Centric Warfare in 1999 with David Alberts and John Garstka. In January he could not break the code on Ukraine. He returns to Brian "Ponch" Rivera with an answer. Ukraine changed its organization and doctrine alongside its drones, and Stein, citing the Wall Street Journal, notes its drone units are about 2.5 percent of its armed forces. The United States can build the technology. Stein's concern is the testing, acquisition and experimentation system that carries it into the force, and his advice to new organizations is an honest after-action review of the ones that failed. Ponch ties it to John Boyd. Open, complex systems call for the real OODA loop, where orientation shapes what a force sees and how it acts.
