INNSWORTH, U.K. -- U.S. Officers and non-commissioned officers assigned to Headquarters, Allied Rapid Reaction Corps, Imjin Barracks, U.K. conduct a brief on information and deception operations during World War II by an Iron Mike statue, near Sainte-Mère-Église, France, April 18. The Statue is dedicated to the 82nd Airborne Division that fought in the bloody Battle of La Fiere Bridgehead nearby and served as the starting point for the airborne-focused third day of a week-long staff ride to Normandy, utilizing a U.S. Army Europe program and focusing on Operation Overlord from a corps-level perspective and how NATO might execute a similar operation today.
“It’s a great program that USAREUR has available for Army units stationed in Europe,” said U.S. Army Lt. Col. Adam Hallmark, the staff ride’s lead planner, of the USAREUR staff ride program. “Units can either select from a list of packaged European staff rides provided and overseen by a civilian contractor or they can create and tailor their own so long as it comes in under a certain budget cap; we went the latter.”
