There were three Regiments in an Infantry Division. During the American Civil War, the Regiment was the main unit that a soldier was identified with. For example, the 56th Ohio Regiment. This regiment contained 10 companies of 100 men each or originally 1000 men. But many were smaller especially after casualties.
