EPISODE 83
Using Terrain as an Unfair Advantage
The acronym OCOKA can be applied to security, terrain analysis, and mission planning
Jim explains how to analyze, exploit, and change the terrain you are fighting in to gain an unfair advantage over your opponent – whether in a parking lot or a battlefield. Walking you from Thermopylae to the Taiwan Straits to the engine block of your police car and the desks of your classroom, we help you assess and understand your operating environment.
