At the battle of First Manassas the fighting on the field was led by general Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard. He was assigned to that purpose by his ranking officer general Joseph Eggleston Johnston, who held the general supervision of the operations organizing and coordinating the affluence of reinforcements.

The most effective tactical action was that led by general Jackson, whose brigade managed to held on its "crucial" position on the Matthew's Hill against the superior Union Forces until reinforcements arrived.
