staff ride
staff ride n. a training exercise, originally undertaken on horseback, in which staff officers carry out reconnaissance and analysis of the terrain of strategically important positions, potential battlefields, etc., as an aid to planning; (later also) a similar exercise in which officers review the development and outcome of a past battle by visiting the battlefield and replaying and reconsidering the major decisions and events in situ.Exercises of the first kind were originally conducted by the Prussian General Staff in the late 19th cent., and are particularly associated with the innovations of Helmuth von Moltke (1800–91) as chief of that staff. Exercises of the later kind are associated with the United States Army Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. [Compare German Stabsreise (1876 or earlier); also Generalstabsreise (1858 or earlier).]
