SecretWarriors Walk Without Rhythm, Won’t Attract the Worm

Abbott, Dan. "SecretWarriors Walk Without Rhythm, Won't Attract the Worm." tdaxp. July 23, 2005. http://www.tdaxp.com/archive/2005/07/23/secretwarriors-walk-without-rhythm-wont-attract-the-worm.html (accessed August 29, 2007).

This post uses John Boyd’s OODA loop to stress the importance of secrecy in fifth generation warfare efforts:


In SecretWar, or 5GW, the fighter tries to hurt without being hurt — at all. If the world knows the SecretWarrior exists, she has already lost. 5th Generation War allows very weak fighters to attack, because the world does not know about them. If the world knew about a 5GWarrior she could be eliminated easily.


Dan tdaxp also quotes a comment left on an earlier post at tdaxp by Curtis Gale Weeks and concludes that Secret Warriors [5GWarriors] must “walk without rhythm” to avoid detection.
