When General US Grant's siege of Vicksburg caused the fortress city to surrender in July of 1863, the city had to be garrisoned by Union troops. These troops were not going to be used for any battles that either General US Grant or General in Chief Henry W. Halleck could foresee and a degree of boredom set in among the troops. The result was the largest and most successful drilling competition in the US Civil War. Under the leadership of Brigadier General Mortimer D. Leggett, a "special flag" of merit was the prize for companies and battalions. As a way to describe how fierce the competition was, army units were given one month of drilling preparation before the contests began.
