Indeed, so Lee is the Army Commander, and he also advises the Cabinet on military matters, so he is the bridge between the strategic and operational, at the planning level he is strategic, in the field he's oprational level.Speaker to Animals wrote:Strategy

Tactics
Generals operate at the top half of that spectrum.
Jackson, Longstreet, Hill, and Anderson, these are the Corps Commanders, that's all operational level, Division Commanders are operational as well, you don't get down to the tactical level until you're into the Regiments and Battalions under the command of Colonels and Lt. Colonels.
So just to give people an example, Lee, on Seminary Ridge, directing the attack against Cemetery Ridge, that's the operation, operational level, Chamberlain, leading the 20th Maine from the Little Round Top down into the ranks of the Confederate troops, that's your tactical level.
