"In marches near the enemy it is often desirable to occupy positions with
guns for special purposes: to command fords, to cover the throwing and
taking up of bridges, and for many other purposes for which it would be
inconvenient and unadvisable to withdraw their batteries from the troops.
Hence the necessity for a Reserve of Artillery."
Henry J. Hunt, Chief of Artillery
Army of the Potomac
