INNSWORTH, U.K. -- U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Todd Shugart speaks to U.S. officers and non-commissioned officers from Headquarters, Allied Rapid Reaction Corps, Imjin Barracks, U.K., about Widerstandsnest 62, a German defensive position used during the U.S. landings at Omaha Beach near Colleville-sur-Mer, Aprill 19. The briefing was part 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.”
