Cumberland, army of the
One of the principal armies of the United States during the Civil War. On Oct. 24, 1862, the troops under Gen. William S. Rosecrans (q. v.), commanding the Department of the Cumberland, were ordered to constitute the 14th Army Corps, and the same day the former Army of the Ohio, commanded by Gen. Don Carlos Buell, was renamed the Army of the Cumberland.
In January, 1863, the Army of the Cumberland was divided into the 14th, 20th, and 21st Army Corps, and in September of the same year the 20th and 21st Corps were consolidated into the 4th Corps.
In the following month the 11th and 12th Corps were added to the Army of the Cumberland, and Gen. George H. Thomas (q. v.) was placed in command, and at the beginning of 1864 the 11th and 12th Corps were consolidated into the 20th Corps.
