I've never been in an organization that needs this sort of model, but my assumption was it was more about what not to do. Don't second guess yourself endlessly, don't panic, don't reminisce about what could have been, don't blindly repeat your last action, don't freeze, etc. In high stress situations people tend to do dumb things, this sounds to me like an attempt to say "don't do that" without saying the word "don't" or specifying the "that".

Sufficiently large organizations easily panic, second guess themselves, etc.

Formalizing the decision making process helps get to the point where you can make a decision. In risk averse organizations, this is extremely valuable.
