How Does the Program Work?
A successful staff ride begins with a plan and the Lockhart Group
planning team would visit with the course point of contact to
discuss and agree the full range of requirements.
Usually our clients take responsibility for inbound and outbound
travel to the nearest airport. Depending upon client
requirements we can assist with requirements for
accommodation and coach travel, permits and fees. Our usual
delivery plan is to provide an academic team of two, who will be
the same staff as planned the staff ride with the Institution’s
point of contact. We prefer to pair a military academic with
operational experience of conflict with a war studies academic.
This combination produces a strong dynamic for understanding
the mechanics and environment of a military campaign with the
wider policy, insights into senior command and the strategic
backdrop. Our delivery team issue relevant collateral, and the
program begins with a short briefing and an introductory over
view presentation of the key aspects of the campaign which will
be studied.
Our experience has shown that at least one evening activity such
as an after-dinner talk on a related aspect of the campaign adds
significant value to the student experience and is always
appreciated.
