Commanding the Army A Veteran Chief Reflects on War Department Power
In a retrospective from Forty six Years in the Army Lieut General John M Schofield recalls the shift of power within the War Department from a Secretary of War with real control to a system where each chief of staff could act with autonomy. He describes orders issued in the army by various heads of bureaus and the adjutant generals role, and the humiliation of being bypassed by clerks and chiefs. He notes Sheridan’s assertive actions and warns younger officers to aim for division command rather than wider provincial power.
