Stochastic Terrorism: The “Most Complex, Dynamic, and Dangerous Threat Environment” in Fifty Years

Archive, OODA Original, Security and Resiliency / by

As a pre-read in the run-up to the OODA Network monthly meeting this Friday, September 20, 2024 – and in light of the recent stochastic terrorism incidents – we have compiled OODA Loop research related to and inspired by the “early warning” statement from the forward of the recently released Brian Jenkins’ led report  – Addressing the Threat of Political Violence in the 2024 Elections  (a few OODA Network Members participated in the workshop that led to the contents of this final report). 

In the Spring of this year, participants in the creation of the report “were motivated by their shared concern for the future of the country.  They have confidence in the resilience of American society––faith that American common sense will prevail. But they also worry that the country’s deep divisions and dark mood could propel even minor incidents of violence during the election cycle into a dangerous national crisis.“
