| History Staff Ride analyzes various campaigns and battles focusing on enhancing cadet understanding of the relationship between the strategic, operational and tactical levels of war and gaining a heightened appreciation for the importance of leadership on the battlefield. Cadets begin with classroom preparation and intense study prior to the staff ride, and through travel, experience the battlefields first-hand. They gain a historical understanding of the campaigns, and by walking the terrain, develop the ability to analyze complex battlefield problems and conditions. The ability to plan, prepare and execute a staff ride, with a focus on cadet led presentations and discussions, will also be evaluated. In addition, cadets participate in a number of cultural activities during travel. |
