Staff ride

Staff ride

A Staff Ride is a systematic analysis of the site of a battle or other engagement, ordinarily undertaken by members of armed forces for the purpose of learning about the impact of geography, weather and other physical influences on those events as well as using the location as a source of inspiration. A staff ride differs from a battlefield tour in that it requires participants to study the events before arriving at the locations and then to contribute, at the site, to the collective learning experience, whereas most battlefield tours involve little preparation and participation.
