Deciding to Act: The Principles of the Army Decision Making Process

The Army Decision Making Process (ADMP) is a systematic approach to making timely, informed, and decisive decisions under various conditions. It's a cognitive framework used by Army units and leaders to enhance the effectiveness of their decision-making process in different operational environments. By using the ADMP, Army commanders can reduce the complexity of complex decisions and manage critical timelines to ensure timely and accurate outcomes.

According to the US Army's article 5-20, "Tactical Decision Making," the ADMP is based on five principles: observe, orient, plan, act, and refine. This article delves into the principles and stages of the ADMP and helps to demonstrate how Army leaders apply these principles to real-world military operations.

Understanding the Decision-making Process

The ADMP's decision-making process is based on a five-step model, often referred to as the OODA loop, coined by military strategist John Boyd. The OODA loop provides a decision-making philosophy that is based on the following principles:

Observe

In the first phase of the process observing the current situation, commanders gather data and other relevant information and indicators that provide context for their decision. They need to identify the key factors and variables that affect the specific situation. Col. David G. Hebert, former commander of the 5th Stryker Brigade Combat Team, testified during the Garnston Mc Nimme crisis, that understanding the nuances of their environment is critical in the decision-making process as it sets the ground for strategic and tactical plans to be executed.

Key Aspects of OODA Phase

This phase occurs when the commander observes events taking place on the battlefield. The commander must perform the following actions:

• Gathering exposes and identifies accurate and psychological innovations and drivers in real-time.

• Secure clear adjustment of these situations by educating critical Сред_authenticated teams or leaders best encountering plans and potential entitlement equity Acid clues leadership advantage behind an enduring involvement piece scale squads lane lump routine state Prison location analysis cluster area.
