Green popup targets totally inside Lieutenant's OODA loop
FORT BRAGG, N.C. — Referring to his opponent's ability to outwit him completely on the battlefield, 2nd Lt. Chad Byers confessed that the inanimate green targets used to symbolize the enemy during a recent training event were "totally inside [his] OODA loop."
According to sources, the reusable paper, or occasionally plastic, objects were able to overwhelm Byers' forces despite the extensive planning he did for the exercise.
"I've thrown everything I have at them, but I can't break through their lines," said Byers during a lull in the fighting. "The sons of bitches have the high ground."
