November 9, 1864 (pt.2)- General O.O. Howard will command 2 full corps on the right. General HW Slocum will lead another 2 corps on the left. The supply line will be deliberately kept thin, requiring the advancing Federals to live off the land, thereby stripping it of its resources. The Army will forage liberally on the country during the march,* were the Union Generals words. If they run into resistance the order is to,... enforce a devastation more or less relentless.** Confiscation of horses, mules, wagons and livestock is encouraged.
