Title
Union
Artillery
at the
Battle
of
Chickamauga
Subcollection
Field
Artillery
in the
Civil
War
:
1861-1865
Description
This
thesis
examines
the
use
of
artillery
by the
Union
Army
of the
Cumberland
during
the
Battle
of
Chickamauga
on
19
and
20
September
,
1863
. The
thesis
methodology
is
an
analysis
of the
terrain
,
technology
,
tactics
,
organization
for
combat
, and
leadership
during
the
battle
. This
thesis
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
contact
with the
enemy
,
leading
to
predictable
failure
. This
thesis
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
.
