Boyd’s Cycle Applied to Conflict Survival / Ten Deadly Errors

Course Description

In this course, Instructors Borelli and Nance discuss Boyd’s Cycle – otherwise known as the decision making cycle – and how it applies to emerging victorious in conflict situations. The Cycle is broken down, examined, and reviewed for application in arrest scenarios. Part one of the course reviews and examines Boyd’s Cycle, otherwise known as an OODA Loop or the human decision making cycle. Part two examines panic, its impact on conflict situations and how it can be avoided through training. Part three examines the value and proper use of After Action Reviews (AARs) or debriefs. After this vital training, the most common mistakes officers make, commonly referred to as “Ten Deadly Errors,” are reviewed.
