		Hancock would serve under Scott and become a general himself, graduating from the U.S. Military Academy in 1844, and rising to the rank of major general by the end of his military career.
		Hancock returned east to assume quartermaster duties for the rapidly growing Union army, but was quickly promoted to brigadier general and given an infantry brigade to command in the Army of the Potomac.
		Hancock thus was in temporary command of the "left wing" of the army, consisting of the I, II, III, and XI Corps, which demonstrated Meade's high confidence in him, because Hancock was not the most senior Union officer at Gettysburg at the time.
