Page 2 has some stuff that was news to me. I had no idea Petreaus was called back to DC to select BGs.

I've read that he was selected in order to promote forward thinking leaders as opposed to the "Old school" types.

Whenever they have the BG board, all the 4-Stars take part.

If you need an understanding of how to apply Boyd's OODA loop in everyday life, read Paul Howe's book.

Ranger PocketKings, thank you for posting this article! I've learned a lot and have forwarded the link to others.

Does anyone have an idea about which of the flock of candidates may have some understanding of this?

Rangers PocketKings, that was a great article and thanks for posting it!

Do any of you know anything about that documentary Brothers at War that was mentioned in that article? I watched the trailer and it looks amazing, but I can't find it anywhere... :(

That book is quite excellent. I'm reading it right now - His format is on point and the section on the OODA loop is quite interesting --- so is the Gut Check!

I use Boyds OODA loop when teaching the combat mindset portion of my Weaponcraft class. Its a great tool, goes good with Jeff Coopers color code.
