The Strategic Studies program continues to plan and execute a large number of trips and staff rides. Our many excursions allow on-site views of military operations, historical events and museums that offer perspectives a classroom often cannot deliver. The staff ride tradition stretches back to the 19th century Prussian General Staff, and concentrates on more than just operational history; rather, a staff ride will focus on important issues of leadership and decision-making that have applications well beyond the field of strategic studies. Students, faculty and guests examine battles, campaigns and even entire wars in order to actively engage in a dialogue with history.
