Following their hard won victory at the Battle of Stones River, the Union Army of the Cumberland embarked a six-month period that saw a number of major changes in armament and operations. By the time they marched southwest to begin the Tullahoma Campaign, the men in blue enjoyed a major advantage over their opponents in the Confederate Army of Tennessee. Those advantages proved pivotal crucial during the summer of 1863 that saw the Army of the Cumberland drive their enemies out of middle Tennessee and seize the vital city of Chattanooga.
