SUMMARY:A Comparative Analysis of the Army of the Potomac's and the Army of
  Northern Virginia's Commanding Machines at Gettysburg
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Friday\, January 19\, as Army War College Pro
 fessor Douglas G. Douds analyzes the differences between the “commanding
  machines” of Meade’s Army of the Potomac and Lee’s Army of Northern
  Virginia during the Battle of Gettysburg.\nStaff work is one of the least
  studied aspects of the Civil War.&nbsp\; Army leadership is a collective 
 activity. &nbsp\;At Gettysburg\, Meade and Lee employed commanding machine
 s -- senior subordinate commanders and staff officers -- to lead their arm
 ies. &nbsp\;Professor Douds will compare their commanding machines’ stru
 cture and processes\, giving insights to the battle’s outcome.&nbsp\; Hi
 s stimulating talk on this topic was one of the highlights of the 2003 Sac
 red Trust lectures in Gettysburg last July.&nbsp\; This fall\, he will def
 end a doctoral dissertation at Leeds University in England on a comparativ
 e case study of field army command at Gettysburg. &nbsp\;\nProfessor Douds
  is a retired Marine Colonel and a Licensed Battlefield Guide at Gettysbur
 g.&nbsp\; &nbsp\;He serves as Director of the Advanced Strategic Arts Prog
 ram and Expeditionary Warfare in the Army War College’s Department of Mi
 litary Strategy\, Planning and Operations.&nbsp\; He has served as a strat
 egist and senior speechwriter in the Chairman's Action Group on the Joint 
 Chiefs of Staff. &nbsp\;He commanded a Marine fighter attack squadron in I
 raq prior to earning his master's degree in strategic studies from the U.S
 . Army War College in 2010. &nbsp\;As an F/A-18 pilot\, he deployed multip
 le times\, including two carrier deployments to the Mediterranean Sea and 
 Persian Gulf and a western Pacific deployment. &nbsp\;He completed the Mar
 ine Aviation Weapons and Tactics Instructor's course\, the Navy Fighter We
 apons School (Top Gun)\, was the top honor graduate from the Amphibious Wa
 rfare School\, and received two bachelor of arts degrees\, in political sc
 ience and history\, from Wake Forest University.\nThose who are unable to
