Bedford Forrest and the Airland Battle.

Abstract

Discusses the employment and deployment of forces by the Civil War general, Nathan Bedford Forrest during three campaigns in 1984. Analyzes his tactics in the context of the Airland Battle to determine if the 'Combat Imperatives' were as valid in the 1860s as they are today. Campaigns include a pursuit (Okolona), meeting engagement (Brice Crossroads), and a rearguard operation (Nashville). (Author)
