John Boyd's essay Destruction & Creation (1976) and compendium.
John Boyd's presentation Organic Design for Command and Control (PowerPoint and original).
Background on the Nifty Nugget (1978) and Proud Spirit (1980) war mobilisation exercises, which Boyd mentions.
LTC Steven W. Peterson's interesting essay Central But Inadequate (2004) about Boyd's influence and the role of classical military theorists on the US military's 2003 campaign in Baghdad, Iraq.
The two recent academic studies on Boyd, Grant T. Hammond's The Mind of War (Smithsonian, Washington DC, 2001) and Frans Osinga's Science, Strategy and War (Routledge, New York, 2007), are on my PhD 'draft zero' reading list.
