Civil War historians view the Battle of Chancellorsville as General Robert E. Lee’s “greatest and most remarkable” victory (Sears 1). Lee, facing an army twice his size, defies all military doctrine and divides his army multiple times in order to out-maneuver and surprise the Union forces. The daring maneuver succeeds and ultimately forces the Union’s Army of the Potomac to retreat. The victory was another major blow to Union troops, but it came at a huge cost to the Confederacy: the loss of General Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson. By evaluating the battle through the lens of the mission command activities, one can see how Lee’s daring maneuver was actually very calculated and his only option for victory. Throughout the rest of this paper, I will describe the timeline of the battle and how General Lee used the mission command activities of understand, visualize, assess, and lead to ultimately achieve victory at Chancellorsville.

In 1775, during the American Revolution the Continental Army used Fifers and drummers to signals in battle (Raines, 1996). In 1777-1778 at Valley Forge, Baron Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben instituted the first standardized signals (Raines, 1996) (Millett, Maslowski, & Feis, 2012). According to Raines (1996) “the US Army's signaling methods remained virtually unchanged until the invention of the electric telegraph in the 1840s” (p. 4). The system was unreliable and according to Raines telegraphy was not employed during the Mexican War of 1846-1848 (Raines, 1996).

When it comes to succeeding at anything, it is important to plan, prepare, and rehears the outcome. In a combat zone, this becomes even more important because lives and the success of the mission depend on it. This was not the case however, during a fight called Operation Anaconda. The purpose of this paper is to point out what went wrong with the lack of planning, coordination, rehearsal, and preparation between Air and ground communications, and how it proved to be critical during Operation Anaconda. The ending results were a delayed execution and several friendly casualties.

In this world, there are things called Energons. At the time of their discovery all around the world, no one knew exactly how they had arrived or how they came to be.

However, it was discovered that their bodies lacked a concrete foundation and could only temporarily exist as a small harmless flame of light for a few minutes.

Remarque uses imagery when he says, "The front is a cage in which we must await fearfully whatever may happen," (…) Remarque was trying to get the point across that the soldiers that are on the front feel captured and have no way to get out. The battle on the front is like the soldiers are imprisoned in the vortex. They soldiers don’t know whether they will live or die each day they are on the front because it is that dangerous.
