Despite the positive review from a Marine brigadier general who stated that 1st Lt. Waddell was a “superb and heroic combat leader,” his career was effectively stunted. Despite the fact that his quick, level-headed thinking dealt with the situation in a way that resulted in no civilian casualties, 1st Lt. 13 There are several problems with the situations with which Marines are faced and the decisions they are forced to make. The first is that no one has ever taught Marines, or anyone really, how to make decisions—particularly quickly, with little time and information.

After the IED detonates, then the Marines treat their casualties. After the IED detonates, then the unit returns fire on the enemy. Whenever a person is operating right of bang, it means that the enemy has the initiative and controls the situation. But operating left of bang requires intense concentration to identify the pre-event indicators and gain an advanced warning about the enemy’s intentions. These indicators, however, are not always easy to discern. If the first time a Marine realizes a threat is present is when he sees an AK-47 assault rifle aimed in his direction, he has already lost the initiative and is now reacting to the enemy.

Sound familiar? These are the exact types of situations that Marines, police officers, and other security personnel experience daily. 9 Consequently, those with experience growing up in tough, do-or-die neighborhoods often have great intuition about places like downtown Baghdad or Kabul. Most Marines do not have sufficiently significant life experience to make decisions like experts. They don’t have the knowledge and experience base for their intuition to be completely reliable. However, by constantly being aware, Marines can proactively take action before getting caught right of bang.
