Focus and Decision Making in High-Stakes Situations
Então, este é Robert J. O'Neill, ex-operador da SEAL Team 6 do
Coletivo de Operadores.
Hum, eu estava conversando com alguns dos meus
colegas de equipe, com
quem estou trabalhando neste projeto, e falávamos sobre foco, como
manter o foco e, às vezes, você pode perdê-lo.
Houve uma missão em particular em que não foi bem uma perda de foco, e
quase uma combinação de redirecionar o foco.
Estávamos invadindo diferentes casas, tentando nos aproximar furtivamente,
e o que fazíamos era
conectar uma escada ao topo de um telhado
e então começar a subir.
Um dos nossos atiradores fazia isso, e, ao subir uma escada, seria
provavelmente fácil ficar fixado no que está fazendo.
Mas, enquanto subia, ele olhou por uma das janelas
do térreo.
Ele obviamente estava indo para o terraço, subindo dois andares, e viu alguém tentando
se barricadar contra a, ah, equipe de entrada que estava chegando,
obviamente nossos
companheiros, nossos irmãos. Ele foi esperto o bastante para descer de novo,
sacar a pistola, disparar
tiros pela janela, e, frio como sempre, guardá-la no coldre, subir,
fazer a segurança.
Isso é, ah, foco, ah, saindo da sua visão periférica,
refocar, alinhamento da
mira frontal, pá, dispare, acerte os disparos, continue a missão.

So this is Robert J. O'Neill, former SEAL Team 6 operator with the Operators Collective. Uh, I was just talking with some of my teammates, uh, with whom I'm working on this project, and we were talking about focus, how to
keep focus, and sometimes you might lose focus. There was one mission in particular where it wasn't quite a loss of focus and almost a, a combination of refocusing. We were taking down different houses, trying to sneak up, and what we would do is
we would, uh, connect a ladder to the top of a roof and then start to climb up. One of our snipers was doing that, and as you're climbing a ladder, it could probably be easy just to, to get fixated on what you're doing. But as he's climbing, he looked through one of the windows on
the first floor. He was obviously going to the rooftop, past two floors, and he saw someone trying to barricade himself on the, uh, entry team that was coming in, obviously our teammates, our brothers. He was smart enough to go back down,
pull his pistol, take shots through the window, and as cool as ever, re-holster, climb up, hold security. That's, uh, focus, uh, going away out of your periphery, refocusing, front
sight alignment, bam, take your shots, hit your shots, continue mission.
