Staff rides

Staff rides are educational visits where military or organizational leaders tour historic sites related to past events or battles. The purpose is to analyze strategies, decision-making, and leadership in context, helping participants learn from history to improve current practices. They foster critical thinking, teamwork, and leadership skills by examining real-world scenarios and their outcomes. These trips often combine site visits with discussions and reflection, providing a deeper understanding of how history shaped successful (or unsuccessful) actions and enabling better preparation for future challenges.
