What were the names of the basic army units for the US Civil War?
ChuckSiata
During the US Civil War, both the Union and Confederate armies had the same names for their respective army units. This was to be expected as the only US Military Academy at that time was at West Point and the top military officers for both sides had the same military education. Listed below are the standard military units for both sides. It should be mentioned that the size of these units varied to a degree based on avalable men during the war. The unites are listed from the smallest to the largest.
A. Regiment. 1,000 to 1,200 men;
B. Brigade. 4 to 5 regiments plus one artillary battery;
C. Division. 4 to 6 Brigades;
D. Corps. 2 or more Divisions; and
E. Army. A variable number of Corps.
