AoP's best lineup

[MikeyB]

Which battle did the AoP have its strongest lineup of corps commanders? This is not meant to pay regard to how the battle actually went (great men can have off days, bad commanders can have banner days), but rather, if you were looking at a list of line-ups for every battle, which grouping would you say - this group of corps commanders was the best they ever had and SHOULD have performed well?

Maybe at the Wilderness. Hancock, Warren and Sedgwick commanding the infantry Corps and Sheridan the cavalry, with Burnside cooperating.
But I think it a stretch to nominate a best or worst.

The end of the war command arrangement- while lacking a star like a Hancock the commanders at the end were all good and experienced competent professionals, especially if you count Griffin in place of Warren.

I'm with William---the final campaigns with Wright, Humphreys, Griffin and Parke as corps commanders. And Sheridan running around as a kampfgruppe commander.

Can you imagine Warren driving the 5th Corps hard enough to get ahead of Lee? I can't.
