Epic Battles ACW Confederate Brigade

The most fundamental building block of the infantry was the infantry regiment (referred to as a "battalion" in Hardee's drill manual, which was used by both sides). Infantry regiments in both the North and the South were organized according to similar principles.

A regiment typically consisted of ten companies of 100 men each, supported by staff, drummers, and officers. However, the harshness of war quickly led to a reduction in strength through battles, disease, and desertion, and the number of regiments could fluctuate considerably.

Unlike the North, the Confederacy's general policy was to send young, inexperienced recruits to reinforce existing regiments in order to maintain their fighting strength. This also gave the recruits the advantage of learning from more experienced fighters.
