ESTAMINET, n.  The ESTAMINET model was developed by Col. John Boyd, USAF (Ret) 
during the Korean War. It is a concept consisting of the following three 
actions:
* Establish
* Act
* Mitigate
The 'net' concept referred to the ability possessed by flight squads that 
allowed them to succeed in combat. It is now used by the U.S. Marines and other 
organizations. The premise of the model is that decision-making is the result 
of rational behavior in which problems are viewed as a cycle of Establishment

reorientation).
