John R. Boyd's "Patterns of Conflict" Brief
While discussing my attempt to understand PISRR in 4GW, Chet Richards of Defense and the National Interest suggested that I focus on some slides on late United States Air Force Colonel John Boyd's epic brief, "Patterns of Conflict." I took about four to read it and left astounded. What Thomas P.M. Barnett's brief is to globalization, Boyd's is to war.
I used the reconstructed Powerpoint
though a facsimile of the slides is also available
Over the next few weeks I will try to post on topics in Patterns of Conflict, to help me better understand this work.
