DEFINITION OF MILITARY UNITS
CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA
An army is the largest military unit. Strength varied considerably. The Confederacy had twenty-three such armies, each one usually taking its name from its state. Commanded by a full general, four stars.
A corps is two or more divisions from 15,000 to 20,000 men. The South did not adopt this organization until after the time frame of this novel. Therefore, corps is not mentioned here. Commanded by a lieutenant general, three stars.
A division is made up of two or more brigades. If they were at full strength, this would be about 8,700 officers and men. Commanded by a major general, two stars.
A brigade is made up of two or more regiments. The average Confederate brigade was 4.5 regiments, roughly 1,850 men. Commanded by a brigadier general, one star.
A regiment is made up of ten companies. The number of men was usually between 1,000 and 845. Commanded by a colonel.
A company was made up of about 100 men.
As the war progressed, the numbers declined. A company might be made up of far less than the requisite number of men. New recruits, rather than being sent into existing regiments, formed new ones. On both sides, therefore, the numbers inside a regiment declined throughout the war.
Anyone seeking more information on the organization of combat units is referred to The Civil War Dictionary by Mark M. Boatner III.
