On the eve of the Civil War, the Regular Army of the United States
was small, dispersed, untrained for large-scale operations, and
woefully unprepared to suppress the rebellion of the secessionist
states. Although the Regular Army expanded significantly during the
war, reaching nearly sixty-seven thousand men, it was necessary to
form an enormous army of state volunteers that overshadowed the
Regulars and bore most of the combat burden. Nevertheless, the
Regular Army played several critically important roles, notably
providing leaders and exemplars for the Volunteers and managing the
administration and logistics of the entire Union Army. In this
first comprehensive study of the Regular Army in the Civil War,
Clayton R. Newell and Charles R. Shrader focus primarily on the
organizational history of the Regular Army and how it changed as an
institution during the war, to emerge afterward as a reorganized
and permanently expanded force. The eminent, award-winning military
historian Edward M. Coffman provides a foreword.
