An analysis of Washington's Winter Campaign with particular emphasis on the Second Battle of Trenton and the actions of Colonel Edward Hand. The analysis will show that the actions of Colonel Hand not only saved General Washington and his army from assured destruction, but prevented the extinction of the Revolution as well. Analysis is conducted through two prisms. The first being that of an infantry officer in the Marine Corps with 12 years of experience and the second being the modern tenets of Maneuver Warfare.
