Major General Nelson Miles was commander of field operations at this time. He was appalled by what had happened and described it as a "unjustifiable massacre" and instigated a court of inquiry into the affair. Miles relieved Forsyth of his command. The Secretary of War disagreed with this decision and exonerated Forsyth and restored him to his command.
