The agencies listed in this section are engaged in planning for the procurement of supplies and equipment which "will be needed by the army during a war or other major National emergency. Military requirements are computed in advance. They are apportioned by the supply arms and services to procurement districts. The pro­ curement planning officers in these districts search the areas to which they are assigned for the productive capacity necessary to meet requirements. Individual plants are surveyed, production stud­ ies are made, and in agreement with the management, plants are al­ located for particular production during an emergency. 2. The management of plants having facilities which are considered suitable for the production of military equipment should communicate directly with the officer in charge of the Procurement District which is nearest the plant for detailed information regard­ ing this activity.

  • Lincoln's Role in the Gettysburg Campaign

    Lincoln's Role in the Gettysburg Campaign

    LINCOLN'S ROLE IN THE GETTYSBURG CAMPAIGN By EDWIN B. CODDINGTON* MOST of you need not be reminded that the battle of Gettys- burg was fought on the first three days of July, 1863, just when Grant's siege of Vicksburg was coming to a successful con- clusion. On July 4. even as Lee's and Meade's men lay panting from their exertions on the slopes of Seminary and Cemetery Ridges, the defenders of the mighty fortress on the Mississippi were laying down their arms. Independence Day, 1863, was, for the Union, truly a Glorious Fourth. But the occurrence of these two great victories at almost the same time raised a question then which has persisted up to the present: If the triumph at Vicksburg was decisive, why was not the one at Gettysburg equally so? Lincoln maintained that it should have been, and this paper is concerned with the soundness of his supposition. The Gettysburg Campaign was the direct outcome of the battle of Chancellorsville, which took place the first week in May. There General Robert E. Lee won a victory which, according to the bookmaker's odds, should have belonged to Major General "Fight- ing Joe" Hooker, if only because Hooker's army outnumbered the Confederates two to one and was better equipped. The story of the Chancel'orsville Campaign is too long and complicated to be told here. It is enough to say that Hooker's initial moves sur- prised his opponent, General Lee, but when Lee refused to react to his strategy in the way he anticipated, Hooker lost his nerve and from then on did everything wrong.

Buenger December 2005 Major Subject: History iii ABSTRACT The Battle of Sailor’s Creek: A Study in Leadership. (December 2005) Cloyd Allen Smith Jr., B.A., Slippery Rock University Chair: Dr. Joseph Dawson The Battle of Sailor’s Creek, 6 April 1865, has been overshadowed by Lee’s surrender at Appomattox Court House several days later, yet it is an example of the Union military war machine reaching its apex of war making ability during the Civil War. Through Ulysses S. Grant’s leadership and that of his subordinates, the Union armies, specifically that of the Army of the Potomac, had been transformed into a highly motivated, organized and responsive tool of war, led by confident leaders who understood their commander’s intent and were able to execute on that intent with audacious initiative in the absence of further orders. After Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia escaped from Petersburg and Richmond on 2 April 1865, Grant’s forces chased after Lee’s forces with the intent of destroying the mighty and once feared iv protector of the Confederate States in the hopes of bringing a swift end to the long war.

  • Satin Army Corps System

    Satin Army Corps System

    THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ARMY CORPS SYSTEM IN THE UNION ARMY Allan Satin, Cincinnati Civil War Round Table, [email protected] © Allan Satin & Cincinnati Civil War Round Table, 2010, www.cincinnaticwrt.org At the end of the American Civil War, the Union Army was organized into army corps each with its own unique number which remained with it even if the corps was transferred from one army to another. How did this system develop in the Union Army? The United States Regular Army had no field commands larger than a regiment when the Civil War broke out in April 1861. Regiments were assigned to geographical departments with no intervening level of command. With the expansion of the armies resulting from the recruitment of the volunteer forces, command levels between the regimental and departmental levels were clearly required. At first, those departments with large enough field forces organized their new regiments into brigades (e.g. May 28 in the Department of Washington). As the forces became larger, divisions were formed (June 11 in the Department of Pennsylvania). The first major campaign was fought with armies organized into divisions (First Bull Run). Military men in the United States were familiar with the corps d’armée system as it had existed in the armies of Napoleon, but conservative commanders such as George B. McClellan and Don Carlos Buell were reluctant to form army corps in the armies under their command. McClellan wanted to postpone the creation of army corps until he had tested his divisional commanders through active operations to see which of them would be capable of commanding at the army corps level.
