Offensive Union operations during the US Civil War can be examined in two parts. Whatever specific plan the Union may have had on its military operations, generally speaking the following usually occurred as a campaign or a battle began:

* Southern territory was seized whenever possible if it did not create a major confrontation;

* Capturing Rebel supply depots were standard actions, but once again, only if they were an easy target;

* Abandoned Southern forts were seized and garrisoned; and

* Any opportunity to attack scattered Confederate forces were done as long as these were easy targets.


Any detailed or specific Union operations, such as mounting an assault on Richmond during the Peninsula campaign, also entailed performing the "standard procedures" mentioned above. This example had certain objectives that went beyond the steps normally taken against the enemy.

How are credit unions different from banks?

Credit unions are nonprofit financial institutions. Technically, you're answer is incorrect. Credit unions are not-for-profit, member owned, financial cooperatives. They are NOT the Salvation Army, the Red Cross, or Goodwill, which are nonprofit organizations. Credit Unions must earn money to cover overhead & operations, provide returns to their members and build capital. Since they are cooperatives, they issue no stock (which banks do to raise capital to expand branchs and offer additional services) and the only way credit unions can build capital is through earnings.
