Little help

[Bravescot]

I'm afraid I've suffered a horrid mind fart and I've just been more confused by trying to look up the answer.

Could someone tell the the EXACT structure of a Union Regiment at full strength man for man ie: Col = 1 etc.

Official United States Army regulations called for a regiment to consist of 10 companies, each made up of 97 men and 3 officers. Companies were commanded by a captain and designated with the letters A-K. A colonel commanded the regiment, followed in succession by a lieutenant colonel and a major. The actual number of men in a regiment varied widely during the war as a result of battle losses, disease, and desertion.

COMPANY.

The basic unit is the company, commanded by a captain

100 men = 2 platoons = 4 sections = 8 squads

A company has the following officers (commissioned and non-coms):

Captain (1), 1st. Lieut. (1), 2nd. Lieut. (1)
1st Sgt. (1), Sgts. (4) and Corporals (8)
Plus 2 musicians.

Take this 10 times.. then the regiment officers:

1 Colonel; 1 Lt. Col.; 1 Major; 1 Adjutant (1st Lt); Surgeon (maj.);

Because you're lazy darling, I'll do the maths for you.

100 x 10 = 1000 men (regiment size)

Plus the senior officers (Col, Lt. Col, Maj, Adj, Surgeon) that adds up to 1004 men if I am correct.

Unless, those four are included in the 1000. Then I've fucked up somewhere.
