***********************************************************FFrom artist Don Stivers: "Today, in the age of electronic warfare, it's called a "terrain walk." But officers of the modern army do much the same thing as their predecessors did on their "staff ride." What they do is study tactics -- no longer in the classrooms, but in the field -- and get to understand firsthand the oldest equation in military history: how to trade the least number of lives for the most valuable terrain."
