Various manpower practices plus battle losses make it extremely difficult to calculate strength accurately by unit designation alone. Volunteer infantry regiments were composed of ten companies, each authorized a maximum of 101 officers and men. With staff included, a full regiment would have numbered about 1,025 officers and men. Regular U.S. Army infantry regiments were organized into three battalions of three companies each and Federal heavy artillery regiments converted to infantry had three four-company battalions. As a result, they were slightly larger than the volunteer regiments.

Four or five regiments were assigned to a brigade. Normally three, sometimes four, brigades composed a division. Two or three divisions were the normal allocations to a corps. By 1864 the average Federal brigade contained about 2,000 men while its Confederate counterpart was down to about 1,800 men. Regiments sometimes had as few as 200 men, and companies with 30 or fewer men were not uncommon.
