The intent of a staff ride is to put participants in the shoes of the decision makers on a historical incident to learn for the future. Staff rides are conducted on the actual ground where an incident or event happened.
A staff ride is more educational than training, but normally combines both aspects as an exceptionally effective experiential learning event.
A staff ride consists of three distinct phases:
- A systematic Preliminary Study of a selected fire, battlefield, or other high-risk incident.
- An extensive Field Study to the actual site(s) associated with the incident.
- An opportunity for Integration of the lessons derived from the study and visit.
