ANSWER

On Apr.30,1862 Gen. Grant was "De facto" exonerated from his command and relegated to the function of "Vice Commander" with but no effective decision power, by Gen. Halleck. Halleck actually wanted to totally dismiss Grant for his failure to properly fortify his position. Grant was surprised by the Confederate attack on his forces.
