This book examines the use of artillery by the Union Army of the Cumberland during the Battle of Chickamauga on 19 and 20 September, 1863. The book methodology is an analysis of the terrain, technology, tactics, organization for combat, and leadership during the battle. This book shows that the Union did not employ artillery effectively due to poor organization for combat and failure of leaders to use the weapons systems in accordance with their strengths. The failure to plan for artillery use on 20 September directly led to weakness on the left flank, which the Confederates exploited. The ensuing havoc led Union leaders to attempt to reorganize their artillery structure while in contactwith the enemy, leading to predictable failure. This book shows the failure of artillery, a branch that was nearing the end of its relevance during the American Civil War due to technological change. As military thinkers today go through the process of redesigning the force, they can use the lessons of the artillery at Chickamauga as an example of the wrong way to employ a force at the end of its life cycle.

failure was due to four factors: (1) a false British assumption of loyalist support among the local populace, (2) British application of self-defeating political and military policies, (3) the British failure to deploy sufficient forces to control the territory, and (4) patriot General Nathanael Greene s campaign against British forces. The chapters that follow examine each of these factors in detail. In March 1778, King George III was eager to find a solution to what had become a political and military quagmire with the war in America. He established the Carlisle Peace Commission and dispatched the body to New York City with a proposal to cease hostilities. The American government insisted that the king and the British government agree to recognize American independence. The commission refused to make this concession and both parties recognized that they had arrived at an impasse.

Next it proceeds to examine the role of logistics during the campaign by first discussing the impact logistics operations had on General Sherman s preparations prior to initiating the campaign. It then further discusses logistics operations carried out during the conduct ofthe campaign in the Carolinas. Finally, it examines logistics operations in the Carolina Campaign in terms of today s logistics doctrine. Logistics played a critical role in the success of the campaign. The logisticians in support of Sherman s Army overcame difficulties at the strategic, operational, and tactical levels to provide effective support. There were significant problems with the support concept, especially in the areas of casualty evacuation and uniform resupply. This thesis investigates these problems as well as the logistics successes that helped make Sherman s Carolina Campaign the triumphant it is remembered as.
