Abstract [sv]

Denna fältövningshandbok presenterar ett heltäckande upplägg för en historiskt förankrad fältövning om slaget vid Ortona 1943, med fokus på strid i urban miljö. Handboken består av tre delar: (1) en introduktion till slaget vid Ortona 1943 samt en begreppslig ram för urban strid (byggnad–by–tätort) kopplad till nutida och framtida kontext; (2) praktiskt genomförande med planering, en hybridmodell som kombinerar historisk orientering och tematiska diskussioner, integrering av ett kortdrivet krigsspel samt en pedagogisk verktygslåda; (3) ett dag-för-dag-program för spelplatserna Sterlin Castle, Villa Rogatti, Ortona och Orsogna, med lärandemål, frågeförslag och praktiska råd. Handboken innehåller även bilagor med litteratur- och medielistor, kartor och visuella hjälpmedel.

Abstract [en]

This staff ride handbook presents a comprehensive framework for a historically grounded staff ride on the Battle of Ortona in 1943, with a focus on combat in urban environments. The handbook consists of three parts: (1) an introduction to the Battle of Ortona 1943 and a conceptual framework for urban combat (building–village–town) linked to both contemporary and future contexts; (2) practical execution, including planning, a hybrid model that combines historical orientation with thematic discussions, the integration of a card-driven wargame, and a pedagogical toolkit; (3) a day-by-day programme for the locations Sterlin Castle, Villa Rogatti, Ortona, and Orsogna, including learning objectives, suggested discussion questions, and practical guidance. The appendices include recommended readings and media resources, maps, and visual aids.
