    British Lt. Gen. Jonathan Riley, a historian, guiding Soldiers of the 773d Civil Support Team, 7th Mission Support Command, points out established fields of fire from a defensive fighting position at Omaha Beach during a staff ride July 19, 2022.

    "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)
