THE SOUTH: 1st Corps moves north and takes up forward positions at the various passages of the Bull Run Mountains. Cavalry screens the flanks of the infantry. The force's orders are to hold until nightfall of June 18th and then move westward into the Valley. Jones' cavalry brigade, which had been tasked with screening the movement along the Rappahannock, is delayed along the river and doesn't arrive until the afternoon of June 18th. 1st Corps is deployed with all three divisions forward. THE NORTH: The Army of the Potomac has shifted north to the vicinity of Manassas. On the 16th orders go out to the Cavalry Corps to aggressively push to the west to both cover a shift of the army in that direction and determine, if possible, the disposition of the rebel army. The morning of the 17th finds the cavalry moving out from Manassas. The goal is to force the pass at Aldie and push west to develop the situation. 2nd Brigade of the 2nd Cavalry Division leads the advance. 5th Corps moves forward to Gum Springs on the 17th and advances in support of the cavalry in the morning of the 18th.
