Jocko ownership5/9/2023 The two almost succumbed to the pressure of the platoon commander who wanted the building cleared because, on his side, it was determined that there was no U.S. Kyle, on his side, felt uncomfortable of shooting this guy, as he had a second thought that, just maybe, the individual in the building was not the enemy. As the commander-in- charge, Babin was supposed to give a directive of shooting this enemy sniper dead. Babin was also disturbed by this person, of whom they completely failed to identify. Kyle had observed a figure that was moving suspiciously in a room they had identified as A27, and he was worried that the individual belonged to the team of enemy snipers who had previously killed a dozen U.S. Babin and Kyle are caught in a dilemma of positive identification (PID), or the personal identification of an enemy. He was also disciplined and focused on what the mission objectives required. These leadership principles, while martial in their development, are easily transferred outside of the military setting to the wildland fire environment. Babin attributes the success of Kyle in the fact that he had embraced extreme ownership of his duty. Extreme Ownership is a book about a set of leadership principles learned, honed, and perfected in a time of war by a small group of Navy SEALs. This chapter is narrated by Babin, and he starts by introducing to us a sniper called Chris Kyle, one of the most experienced snipers on the platoon team.
