Black Hills National Forest employees recently participated in a leadership staff ride at the Little Big Horn Battlefield National Monument. The staff ride was presented by OMNA International, a group known for experiential leadership development for organizations around the world. This opportunity afforded Black Hills employees the experience of operational leadership from both the Lakota and U.S. Calvary’s perspective and how a community prepares for, protects against, responds to, and recovers from a catastrophic threat.

The staff ride, held on October 9th and 10th, was based in Sheridan, WY. The students were comprised of primary and secondary firefighters from the Black Hills National Forest who also represent Type 1 and Type 2 Incident Management Teams in the Rocky Mountain Region.
