Best Answer

When Union General in Chief, Henry Halleck had to write Union policy on guerrilla warfare, the Confederate unit under the command of Colonel John S. Mosby was not easy to define with regards to guerrilla warfare. Colonel Mosby's organization were raiders that usually operated independently of higher Confederate commanders, and often behind enemy lines. After a raid, they would scatter and resume their civilian lives. However, unlike the guerrilla bands in Missouri, these men had Confederate commissions and lines of command. When operating as soldiers they wore Confederate uniforms. They were mostly cavalry soldiers that operated in northwestern Virginia.Also, unlike the Missouri guerrillas, Mosby's men took Union prisoners. As halleck wanted to form a "legal" Union policy on all guerrilla warfare, Mosby's raiders were difficult to describe.
