Popis: Autori istražuju „staff ride” metodologiju proučavanja bitaka i operacija, te njezinu moguću implementaciju u vojnu izobrazbu hrvatskih Oružanih snaga. Vrlo je važno kroz sustav vojne izobrazbe otkriti buduće zapovjednike koji imaju dar ispravnog zaključivanja i brzog donošenja najboljih odluka. Upravo je primjena u ovom radu opisane metodologije pomogla mnogim poznatim vojnim vođama intelektualno raskrinkati određeno povijesno ratište, bojište ili bitku, te uvidjeti kako su odluke zapovjednika utjecale na operativne i taktičke rezultate, odnosno kako su terenske okolnosti, kao i vrste pokreta i djelovanja, utjecale na razvoj situacije, poraz ili pobjedu. Upoznavanje s primijenjenom taktikom, tehnologijom i vojnim ustrojstvom djeluje poticajno na časnika tako da on može jasno sintetizirati i vizualizirati situacijsku sliku koja u određenom trenutku vlada na ratištu ili bojištu. Ovakva spoznaja, popraćena znatiželjom i marljivošću, predstavlja temelj za cjeloživotno napredovanje i profesionalno usavršavanje časnika. Časnik mora puno čitati i imati jaku volju koja će mu priskrbiti psihičku i mentalnu spremnost za sve vrste izazova i uloga. Za tu svrhu služi upravo „staff ride” metodologija, koju primjenjuju vojne organizacije diljem svijeta i koja koristi vojnu povijest kao sredstvo za profesionalni razvoj časnika. U hrvatskoj historiografiji ne postoji niti jedno značajno djelo o „staff ride” metodologiji.
The authors explore “staff ride” methodology of studying the battles and the operations and its possible implementation in the military education of the Croatian armed forces. It is very important, throughout the system of military education, to detect future leaders who are endowed with the gift of proper reasoning and rapid adoption of the best decisions. The application of, in this paper described methodology, just helped many famous military leaders to intellectually debunk certain historical theatre of operations, a battlefield or a battle and to see how the decisions of the commander at the relevant levels impact on the operational and tactical results, and how the field conditions, and the types of action and engagement influenced the development of the situation, defeat or victory. Officer own self-discoverable observations about applicable technologies, tactics and, above all, the military organization act as incentives to him so that he can clearly synthesize and visualize situational picture that at some point in time exists on the theatre of operations or the battlefield. This shrewd observation of officer and leader needs to be accompanied by his curiosity and diligence. He just so lays the foundation for lifelong progression and professional development. This and in this way formed officer must read a lot and have a strong will, which will provide a psychological and mental readiness for all kinds of challenges and roles. “Staff ride” methodology serves precisely for this purpose. It is applied by military organizations around the world using military history as a tool for officer’s professional development. In Croatian historiography there has not been any significant work on “staff ride” methodology.
