Since the early twentieth century, officers of the U.S. Army have
honed their professional knowledge and skills by conducting staff
rides to historical battlefields. Often, these educational
exercises have focused on the tactical level of war, through a
detailed examination of a single battle. The Vicksburg staff ride
presented in this booklet, by contrast, focuses at the operational
level of war. By studying the Vicksburg campaign and visiting the
places where it took shape, the military professional can gain a
greater appreciation for operational art-the conception, execution,
and adjustment of a campaign plan. Individual battles and the
tactics employed therein are not ignored but rather are set into
the context of an evolving campaign. There is much of value here
for military professionals in the twenty-first century. The Staff
Ride Handbook for the Vicksburg Campaign, December 1862-July 1863,
provides a systematic approach to the analysis of this key Civil
War campaign.
