Abstract:
We have argued (Hone, Whitworth, Martin; 2006) that Awareness is best considered in terms of Battle-space Awareness, but also seen as a component of a larger Awareness-Order-Action (AOA) cycle. A key factor in the AOA cycle was the influence of culture and doctrine on multi-force and multi-national operations. At a time when a number of “Cycle ” models (e.g. OODA, ODOA, OPAM, RUDE) are in use – and many of which are probably best related to specific aspects of combat – we believe that insufficient attention is being paid to fostering a general awareness of the battle-space, or to integrating such awareness into a generic model of the combat process (particularly from the viewpoint of ground and littoral combat). Developed from the 3-Q model of awareness (Hone, Martin and Ayres, 2006), the AOA Cycle is offered as a means of exploring the way in which information flow, as well as the influences of culture and doctrine, can affect combat events. This requires a new approach to the assessment of awareness, and in particular to the separate awareness of “Blue ” versus “Red ” forces, and such an approach can be enabled by the 3-Q model amongst others.
