Sažetak
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.
