In 1906 Maj. Eben Swift took twelve of-ficer students from Fort Leavenworth s General Service and Staff School to the Chickamauga battlefield on the Army s first of-ficial staff ride. Since that time Army educators have employed the staff ride to provide Army officers with a better understand-ing of a past military operation, of the vagaries of war, and of military planning.
