Download or read book Winfield Scott s Vision for the Army written by Mark C. Vlahos and published by Lulu Publishing Services. This book was released on 2015-10-27 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Truly visionary, Winfield Scott's enduring contribution to the Union war effort was the "Anaconda Plan." This plan in essence became the basic overall Union military strategy in the American Civil War. Unlike most in 1861, Scott envisioned a protracted four-year-long war that would involve large numbers of troops and a grand strategy. Winfield Scott had another vision in 1861. This vision determined the role the standing, Regular Army would play as the Union mobilized to suppress the rebellion of the Southern states. Scott's vision called for the Regulars to be a nucleus for the Union Army to form around as it expanded. Scott's decision to keep Regular units intact would have a lasting impact on mobilization, training and the war effort the next four years. Some tried to persuade Scott to scatter Regular officers and men throughout formations to be teachers or a "training cadre."

This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life and Public Services of Winfield Scott, General-in-Chief of the Army of the United States: Comprising His Early Life, His Services in the War of 1812 and in the Mexican War The late war with Mexico developed, in a very extraordinary manner, the military resources of this country. It made the world acquainted with many facts and principles which are worthy of especial attention to every one who feels an interest in our national history, and a desire that the national honour shall always be maintained. It demonstrated that a people devoted to the arts of peace, and possessing free political institutions, can easily vanquish a military people, governed by military despots. It has shown that fresh volunteers, under the command of intelligent and able officers, can take fortified cities and castles, garrisoned by double the number of the assailants; and gain victories, in pitched battles, over disciplined armies five times as numerous as themselves. These are interesting facts; and particularly interesting to Americans, as they evidently involve the principle, that political freedom is the chief element of military success.
