The Staff Ride Handbook for the Overland Campaign, Virginia, 4 May
to 15 June 1864, is the tenth study in the Combat Studies
Institute's (CSI) Staff Ride Handbook series. This handbook
analyzes Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant's 1864 Overland
Campaign from the crossing of the Rapidan River on 4 May to the
initiation of the crossing of the James River on 15 June. Unlike
many of CSI's previous handbooks, this handbook focuses on the
operational level of war. Even so, it provides a heavy dose of
tactical analysis, thereby making this ride a superb tool for
developing Army leaders at almost all levels. Designed to be
completed in three days, this staff ride is flexible enough to
allow units to conduct a one-day or two-day ride that will still
enable soldiers to gain a full range of insights offered by the
study of this important campaign. In developing their plan for
conducting an Overland Campaign staff ride, unit commanders are
encouraged to consider analyzing the wide range of military
problems associated with warfighting that this study offers. This
campaign provides a host of issues to be examined, to include
logistics, intelligence, psychological operations, use of
reconnaissance (or lack thereof), deception, leadership,
engineering, campaign planning, soldier initiative, and many other
areas relevant to the modern military professional. Each of these
issues, and others also analyzed herein, are as germane to us today
as they were 150 years ago.
