After the Battle of Stone s River , General Rosecrans reorganized the wings of his army into three corps. The left wing, under Thomas L. Crittenden , became the XXI Corps. Taking part in the Tullahoma Campaign , the XXI Corps was heavily engaged at Battle of Chickamauga Chickamauga on September 19 20, 1863, where it was nearly destroyed.
