| In order to be a part of a believable Army Experience, and to work with our peers and fellow re-enactment units, the Missouri Irish Brigade has found it necessary to join a larger organized military command. Historically, when a Civil War Company was organized, it joined other company's to form a single regiment. The regiment was by and far, the most common military organization. Very rarely did a single company operate detached from it's regiment independently. But Civil War regiments were large organizations, consisting of ten company's and varying anywhere from 300 to 1000 men. | |||||||||

| In Civil War re-enacting, the typical re-enactors company averages between 15 to 30 men and will usually field about 20 muskets at any given event. Although the average Civil War re-enactors groups/unit is typically a mere company level organization, most take a historical regimental designation for their name and impression. A good example might be the "no name city" group. Having formed themselves into a re-enactors company and wanting to portray their local communities historical unit. They might call themselves per say - the 100th Missouri Infantry. Just as some units do, they might even take it a step further and choose a particular company designation such as company "Q". The likely hood of these boy's actually ever forming up all 10 company's of there regiment is doubtful. In today's re-enacting community, the average unit is the company. | |||||||||

| Since it would be near impossible to form full scale re-enactment Regiment's, most groups have banded together into generic battalions to form scaled down versions of the regiment. Over the years, allot of these battalions have grown and united into actual brigade and division level organizations. | |||||||||

| This is an exciting concept and works well for most re-enactors and their respective unit's. It still allows most groups to pursue a particular historical interest and portrayal while at the same time keeping the Army experience as authentic as possible. | |||||||||

| The only real difference being the average company. Instead of being per say company "A", 100th Missouri, it becomes the "100th Missouri Company" of the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd Battalion, such and such Brigade. Either way, if you agree with the concept or not, the whole process gives a more realistic and believable experience to the average re-enactor in the ranks. | |||||||||
