War in Spain General Suchet having been enabled to assemble' the greater part of his forces, presented himself to the contest with twenty-two battalions and eight squadrons animated by their recent victory; he aimed at destroying, or dispersing at least, the enemy's army, with a view to complete his victory and to remain in undisturbed possession of Arragon. General Suchet deemed it sufficient to cause the centre to be watched by light troops supported by a few reserve battalions; he directed Habert's brigade and the 13th regiment of cuirassiers to turn, from a distance, the enemy's right between Codo and Belchite, and personally superintended the main attack against the left. General Suchet proceeded at once to the extreme right, for the purpose of preventing this manoeuvre; he detached the lancers and two hundred skirmishers to the flank, whilst a battalion of the 114th marched direct upon the enemy in a column of attack. www.wtj.com /archives/suchet/suchet01c.htm

Union Army - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia He was already famous for his victories in the West when he was appointed Lieutenant General and general-in-chief of the Union Army in March 1864. There was a general tendency to name Union armies after important rivers in their areas of operation, although exceptions existed. That goal was finally achieved on April 9, 1865, when Confederate commander Robert E. Lee officially surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia to General Grant at Appomattox Court House. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Union_army

nb03v10.txt He brought to the General-in-Chief a despatch from General Marmont, who was entrusted with the command of Alexandria, and who had conducted himself so well, especially during the dreadful ravages of the plague, that he had gained the unqualified approbation of Bonaparte. General Caffarelli was the only person who was really in danger, for his wooden leg prevented his sitting firmly on his horse in the water; but some persons came to his assistance and supported him. General Bonaparte sent his aides de camp Beauharnais and Croisier to appease the fury of the soldiers as much as possible, and to report to him what was passing. www.gutenberg.org /dirs/etext02/nb03v10.txt

War in Spain This was a fortunate, though a casual occurrence; the movement of general Verges was the effect of a concentration of forces, which had been ordered by the general- in-chief in conformity with the plan of operations he had laid down for the siege of Lerida. General Musnier was left with eight battalions and 250 horse to occupy Saragossa and keep Arragon under subjection; general Verges was on the line of the Cinca, and general Buget on the right bank of the Ebro.

Ulysses S. Grant: America's Second Three-Star General Because the legislation did not formally define the job, the duties, responsibilities, and authority of the general in chief depended on the character of the individual who held the office and on his informal relationships with the army and the nation's political leaders. If the general in chief truly commanded the army and could act as he saw fit, he would infringe on the president's role as commander in chief as written in the Constitution. In 1821, to ensure better command efficiency, he decided that the single major general authorized by the reform package would be stationed in Washington and be designated general in chief or commanding general of the army. www.thehistorynet.com /cwti/blgrant

Ulysses S. Grant: America's Second Three-Star General The law reviving the lieutenant generalcy did not answer the enduring questions of exactly what authority the general in chief had over the army and what his relationship was with the civilian officials responsible for running the war. So, as was the case with all his predecessors, Grant's power as general in chief would largely depend on the personal relationships he could forge with his subordinates and superiors. What he wanted from his general in chief was advice and translation of presidential wishes into military orders. www.thehistorynet.com /cwti/blgrant/index1.html

Generalship: its Diseases and their Cure The true general is not a mere prompter in the wings of the stage of war, but a participant in its mighty drama, the value of whose art cannot be tested 'unless there is a clear possibility of the struggle ending in death'. Should the general consistently live outside the realm of danger, then, though he may show high moral courage in making decisions, by his never being called upon to breathe the atmosphere of danger his men are breathing, this lens will become blurred, and he will seldom experience the moral influences his men are experiencing. We think that generals sitting in dug-outs did help on these battles; my own opinion is that in most cases, and there are exceptions to every rule, they had no more influence on them than had they been lying in their graves. www-cgsc.army.mil /carl/resources/csi/Fuller/Fuller.asp

General in Chief of the Union Army When it was defeated at the Battle of Second Manassas and General McClellan's forces were withdrawn from the Virginia Peninsula, he took charge of the combined army defending Washington, D.C.

Lincoln appointed him General-in-Chief in March, 1864 and Grant then directed General Sherman to drive through the South while he pinned down General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia.

STAFF - LoveToKnow Article on STAFF Thus the chief of the general staff is defined in the British Field Service Regulations as the generals responsible adviser on all matters affecting military operations, through whom he exercises his functions of command and by whom all orders issued by him will be signed. Apart, then, from the adjutants or personal staffs (amongst whom must be reckoned the commander-in-chiefs secretary, generally a civilian), the staff in the field in Frederick the Greats day was the quartermaster-generals staff, and it was chiefly concerned, both in peace and war, with military engineering duties. Although generals have always provided themselves with aides-dc-camp and orderlies, the only official corresponding to a modern staff officer in a 16th or 17th century army was the sergeant-major-general or major-general, in whom was vested the responsibility of forming the army in. 80.1911encyclopedia.org /S/ST/STAFF.htm   (4345 words)
