Probably the moat unpredictable variable in the "Fog of War" next
to leadership, is the command and control process, comprised of
three components: organizations, process, and facilities.
Organizations include the formulation of staffs by the commander to
accomplish the mission. Incorporated in the organization of the
staffs are the roles, responsibilities, and functions. Large Civil
War armies like the Army of the Cumberland and the Army of the
Tennessee required significant numbers of staff officers to support
the armies logistically and to maneuver them operationally. During
the Campaign and Battle of Chickamauga, these staff officers often
played major roles and were instrumental in determining the outcome
of the battle. The roles and functions performed by these staff
officers evolved through the history of conflict. This study is an
analysis of the roles, responsibilities, and functions of General
Rosecrans' staff prior to and during the Chickamauga campaign,
using lessons learned in comparison to current Army doctrine on
command and control. Primary sources for staff information on the
Army of the Cumberland are the Official Records and actual
telegrams from the staffs during this period. Doctrinal manuals on
senior level staffs did not exist; therefore, these staffs were
composites of regimental and War Department staff positions and ad
hoc positions. The study uses evolving doctrine from Command and
General Staff College that defines an outstanding staff as one that
informs, anticipates, coordinates and executes the commander's
guidance with enthusiasm and innovation. This study concludes that
Rosecrans' staff was significant to the outcome of the Battle of
Chickamauga. Although none of the staff functions developed
critical deficiencies during the campaign, their inability to
relieve the commander of administrative burdens compelled him to
abandon the battlefield.
