Washington D.C. is the ultimate site for analyzing national logistics and history. In May 2022, we conducted a comprehensive mission to the capital—a place we had never visited before. This trip was a deep dive into the hallowed grounds of our democracy, from the tech-heavy exhibits of the Spy Museum to the somber rows of Arlington National Cemetery.

Navigating a district that isn’t a state, using the “tricky” Reagan National Airport, and managing the sheer volume of monuments required a high level of operational planning.

Read on for the full operational breakdown of the 2022 Washington D.C. deployment.
