From April 4–8, 2022, junior noncommissioned officers from across the U.S. Army Europe and Africa command toured historical sites throughout Normandy, France, as part of a battle staff ride with Command Sgt. Maj. Jeremiah Inman, the U.S. Army Europe and Africa command sergeant major.

The group was led by retired British Army Lt. Gen. Jonathon Riley, with CSM Solutions, and focused on the entirety of the Normandy Campaign.

The visit came ahead of Memorial Day, the 78th Anniversary of D-Day, and U.S. Army Europe and Africa's 80th birthday, giving the participants a unique perspective on an important milestone that laid the foundations for what would eventually become U.S. Army Europe and Africa.
