When Sickles arrived with his III Corps, General Meade instructed him to take up a position on Cemetery Ridge that linked up with the II Corps on his right and anchored his left on Little Round Top.
Da Sickles ankom med sit 3. korps, gav general Meade ham ordre til at tage stilling på Cemetery Ridge, så han havde forbindelse med 2. korps på sin højre flanke og forankret på venstre til Little Round Top.
