The Small Wars Journal has a superb post by Malcolm Nance on the recent incident in the Straight of Hormuz.

In addition to the excellent open source analysis of events, Nance highlights the influence of a strange aspect of locked orientation known as “scenario fulfillment” and commends the mental agility and professionalism — as Don Vandergriff would call it, the “adaptive leadership” — of the US Navy commanders on the scene.

[Many thanks to SWJ Editor Dave Dilgge for bringing this to my attention.]
