    On January 4th, Longstreet was notified that he was commander of the Department of East Tennessee. Until that time, he headed his command as "Forces in East Tennessee". The later engagements in East Tennessee (Mossey Creek, Dandridge, Bean's Station) were fought with Longstreet officially commanding the Department of East Tennessee. For shorthand, Longstreet's force is simply referred to as his command. Official Records, Series I, Volume XXXI, Part 1, page 468
