The National OODA Loop: US Vulnerability to Strategic Surprise in the 21st Century
Despite a number of organizational changes made to enhance security within the United States since the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the United States remains vulnerable to strategic surprise. According to studies and observations by the RAND Corporation , members of the intelligence community , media reports and academic sources, the vulnerability exists due at least seven basic issues. Of the seven issues the most important two are a lack of national resolve and the lack of appropriate authorities to allow appropriate organizations the ability to rapidly adapt to changes required to identify, monitor, avert, engage, preempt and/or eliminate strategic surprise. Resolve and authorities serve as the basis to establish both offensive and defensive capabilities against strategic surprise.
US vulnerability to strategic surprise in the 21st-century will be based upon the following:
• lack of national will
• lack of legal freedom to maneuver
• inadequate/inflexible laws and rules of engagement
• money/logistics
• dynamic threat
• inadequate training
• unrealistic expectations
