Joint Operations during the Campaign of 1862 on the Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers

Abstract

The Civil War campaign for Forts Henry and Donelson is illustrative of joint Army-Navy operations. It provides an excellent vehicle to study elements of joint efforts. This study is based on historical accounts and data obtained from official Records and publications of first hand accounts of the events and personalities associated with the campaign. In addition to providing a strategic and tactical account of the campaign, the study highlights three key points of joint operations; planning, cooperation, and mutual support. It also spans three organizational levels: departmental, theater, and tactical.
