Training Tomorrow's Strategic Leaders: Preservation and Military Education at Antietam National Battlefield

Abstract

The strategic staff ride has been a mainstay of military education for 100 years. The Maryland Campaign of 1862 presents unique opportunities to examine leadership and strategic concepts through campaign analysis and on-site visits. This paper will examine the history of the campaign, the military's role in preserving the battlefields, the tradition of military staff rides, and provide suggestions for military education at Antietam National Battlefield.
