Editing Army of Northern Virginia (section)

===Organization at the beginning of the Maryland Campaign===
The Army's losses before and following [[Second Battle of Bull Run|the Battle of Second Manassas]] needed to be replaced before the [[Maryland Campaign]] could commence. While fundamental changes in the Army's command structure were not necessary, General Lee exchanged divisions and brigades or added additional strength to some. The wings of the Army were now officially called 'Corps'. In the Maryland Campaign the Army was subdivided as follows.<ref>The War of the Rebellion, Series I, Vol. XIX, Part I, p. 803ff: [http://cdl.library.cornell.edu/cgi-bin/moa/pageviewer?frames=1&cite=http%3A%2F%2Fcdl.library.cornell.edu%2Fcgi-bin%2Fmoa%2Fmoa-cgi%3Fnotisid%3DANU4519-0027&coll=moa&root=%2Fmoa%2Fwaro%2Fwaro0027%2F&tif=00819.TIF&view=75 Disposition on the setout of the Maryland Campaign]</ref>

While organization of the corps was found to be generally reliable, the corps' subdivision into four or five divisions hampered overall ease of command. General Lee had already considered before the [[Battle of Antietam]] to slim down the overall structure, but intended there be no changes in leadership. The Confederate Congress authorized the establishment of the Corps, and President Davis affirmed the assignment of the commanders and promoted Major Generals Longstreet and Jackson to Lieutenant Generals. General Lee announced this in Special Order 234 on November 6, 1862.<ref>The War of the Rebellion, Series I, Vol. XIX, Part II, p. 698f: [http://cdl.library.cornell.edu/cgi-bin/moa/pageviewer?frames=1&cite=http%3A%2F%2Fcdl.library.cornell.edu%2Fcgi-bin%2Fmoa%2Fmoa-cgi%3Fnotisid%3DANU4519-0028&coll=moa&view=50&root=%2Fmoa%2Fwaro%2Fwaro0028%2F&tif=00654.TIF&pagenum=698 Nomination of Commanding Generals]</ref> About 60,000 soldiers served at the Maryland Campaign.
