A Mighty Endeavor - World War II - D-Day to the Rhine (3 days)
Perhaps the most important and decisive military campaigns of the past 100 years will be examined with both a look at the history of the campaign but also hands-on leadership in a simulation about the campaign.  Canada played an important roll in the battle to liberate France, Belgium, Holland and ultimately defeat the Nazi war machine in western Europe.  The causes and course of the campaign will be discussed and the a simulation or wargame of will be conducted as part of the training.  Planning skills both offensive and defensive will be practiced as the Germans try to hold their conquered territories and the allies choose where to invade, drop paratroops, commit their air dominance, and make their major offensives over the Rhine and ultimately capture the industrial Ruhr area.  This is a excellent learning experience for those who would learn the lessons of history and lead effectively.
