Communication problems were at a point of critical mass as General Hooker was unable to receive proper commands from Washington DC. Although Halleck had clearly outlined what his beliefs were regarding the movements of General Lee's army, he did not render any orders to General Hooker.
Halleck believed he had no place to do so. President Lincoln also furnished no orders. He believed that he should defer to Halleck's superior military knowledge. As for General Hooker, he lacked the confidence to proceed based on his own military expertise. He was in charge of the Union's premier army. He had the chance to attack Lee's rear guard as Lee marched northward, bur Hooker did nothing. Clearly at this vital juncture in the war, the Union command system was broken.
