Why was the battle of Chattanooga sometimes referred as the third battle of Chattanooga?
Because Chattanooga was object of a Union offensive for two times before the so called Third Battle of Chattanooga. The first one was put in motion on June 1862, when the commander of the Union Western Sector Major General Halleck, ordered Buell's Army of Ohio to advance towards Chattanooga marching along the railroad Nashville- Murfreesborough-Chattanooga. The offensive went slowly on and in July the Federals were somewhat next to reach their goal but two raids of the Confederate cavalry, led by Morgan and Forrest, interrupted their long line of communication, thus forcing the Union divisions to stop the action. The second one started on August 16, 1863. It was led and successfully carried out by Major General Rosencrans, who after a brilliant advance succeeded in outflanking the Confederate Army under Bragg forcing them to move out of Chattanooga on September 9,1863.
