The 13th Regiment, Tennessee Volunteer Calvary: Transition from Irregular to Conventional Operations
Abstract
The protracted violence and involvement in irregular warfare had significant impact on troop performance in the conventional, nearly total warfare actions in which the 13th Tennessee was employed late in the war. Irregular experience and unique awareness of their environment was beneficial in many cases, but in others, particularly when strong leadership was lacking, the partisan war experience manifested itself in poor discipline and retaliatory atrocities.
