The federal volunteer regiments that fought in the Philippine
insurgency from 1899 to 1901 were the product of intense political
infighting, negotiation and compromise at the highest levels of the
American government. Oddities among military units, these regiments
were neither state militia nor regular army. They were national
units filled with state volunteers. The federal volunteer regiments
were fleeting organizations. They had no history and no future. Not
only did they lack unit legacies to inspire their soldiers; they
were disbanded within two years of their creation. Yet, in 1899,
1900 and 1901, the United States Volunteer regiments bore the
preponderance of the American national effort in the Philippines.
By following one of these federal volunteer regiments from
inception, though deployment and employment, to demobilization we
can learn about our past as well as find lessons that may apply to
the present. The existence and success of volunteer regiments that
were federally raised, organized, trained and led points to the
efficacy of American democratic processes to create the right kind
of forces for difficult conflicts. Meanwhile the specific
experiences of the 32nd Infantry Regiment (United States
Volunteers) provide important lessons about manning, training, and
fighting with volunteer soldiers in a counterinsurgency.
