Yes, Jocko Willink explains very well in this video “At what level up the chain does extreme ownership stop?” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsMScRfjVC0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsMScRfjVC0 “When something goes wrong, where does it stop? [...] Ramadi, friendly fire incident... and I took ownership of it. Now you got to remember also [that] people below me in the chain of command said «no it’s my fault», «no it’s my fault» [...] I said «No, it wasn’t your fault, it was my fault. Now you could say... you could look at my boss and go «why wouldn’t it be your boss’ fault?», «why wouldn’t it be his boss’ fault?» [...] why wouldn’t you take it all the way up the chain of command to the president of the US, since the senior person in the US military is the president, why wouldn’t he say «hey, Jocko’s unit had a blue-on-blue and it’s my fault», right? Theoretically, that’s what Extreme Ownership is. Here is the deal: the goal of Extreme Ownership isn’t just to take ownership. The goal of E.O. is to actually solve the problem.” For anyone to whom that sounds interesting, I recommend listening to that whole segment, 18 minutes, where he explains in detail how someone taking responsability at the right level gets the problem solved.
