Airborne PME
Ridgway’s Notebook focuses on a ground-up, practical approach to history. Told through the World War II experiences of General Matthew Ridgway and the 82nd Airborne Division, it illustrates some of the similarities between the questions asked by officers of the 82nd yesterday and today — and dissects how they came to be.
Along the way we will share some lessons, and tell some stories.
