    7th Mission Support Command

    The 773d Civil Support Team poses at the Pointe du Hoc Memorial during a staff ride, July 19, 2022 in Normandy, France. The team analyzed the role of mission command and retraced the steps of U.S. and ally forces during Operation Overlord.

    "A staff ride is a historical study of a campaign or battle that envisions a systematic preliminary study, an extensive visit to campaign sites, and an opportunity to integrate lessons derived from each. A significant component of this detailed study is the analysis of the terrain over which the action took place and the effect of that terrain upon the battle or campaign. It is this three-dimensional visualization of the battlefield that separates a staff ride from a battle analysis." - Staff Ride Team (army.mil)
