I've been out of the Army since 2014. Thank you for my refresher course on the fundamentals of being an infantrymen. I shall continue to spread badassitry.

This is very helpful. I know I'm not exactly your intended audience since I don't actually have a job that will ever require me to know this for use in the real world. But that this lecture was clear and understandable to a non-professional such as myself reflects well on your presentation skills (it helps that you didn't skip the basics). This video is going to be a very handy reference to improve my performance in tactical wargames such as the Combat Mission series (many pixeltruppen have needlessly lost their lives because of my poor terrain analysis).

nice video !
as far as my understanding, OAKOC is usually used to evaluate positions where my force is going to be, like Observation Post.
Can OAKOC be used to analyze and report about the enemy location?
