Many military processes use decision cycles that are similar to OODA. An example is the intelligence cycle [1] whose steps include Direct - Collect - Process - Disseminate. Similarly, the targeting cycle [2]. These cycles are integrated in an HQ to support the commander's decision making. So OODA itself might not be obvious to an individual soldier, but the orders and reporting that drives his activities will follow from cyclic thinking in the HQ.
