| Summary |
"Although there is a considerable connection among all staff ride handbooks, the Staff Ride Handbook for the Battle of Olustee, Florida, 20 February 1864, has some significant differences from others. One of the aspects that sets the Olustee battle apart from other staff rides is the near exact parity of forces and equally favorable ground for both combatants, resulting in a battle that depended even more so than normally on the skills and application of leadership and resource management, namely logistics and physical endurance. This battle was a struggle between two forces led by leaders inexperienced at such high levels of command with many units that had never served either together or in the case of some regiments ever before in battle. It was a multi-brigade meeting engagement providing a clear, systematic tactical-level battle for analysis, though by necessity, the tactical nature limits much of the operational analysis found in some other staff rides. Though there exist significant operational-level topics to be discussed in the events leading to the tactical action, it is essentially a study of brigade- and regimental-level leadership and tactics"-- Provided by publisher. |
