Disbanded Regiments

After WIA3, many regiments were down to company size. All WIA3 regiments show a net increase in strength from July - October, representing returned convalescents. This was done by rolling at 12 sided die for each regiment and multiplying the result by 10. Every regiment received between 10 and 120 returned convalescents, but some were still quite small. Any WIA3 regiment that had a strength of less than 150 men after receiving returned convalescents was disbanded and its remaining men transferred to another regiment. The disbanded regiments were:

1. 25th Illinois Cavalry (1st Brigade, Cavalry Division): The remaining men were transferred to the 22nd Illinois Cavalry (2nd Brigade Cavalry Division.  Most of the 25th had been captured during WIA2 in a cavalry action that took place during the battle of White Fox Tavern. It lost its colors and fought through WIA3, but will not enter WIA4 (The Ozarks Campaign).

2. 206th Ohio Volunteer Infantry (2nd Brigade, 4th Division): This regiment lost heavily in the woods during the Battle of Crane during WIA3, primarily against the 1st and 2nd Division of the Department of the Eastern Frontier. Its remaining men have been transferred to the 199th Ohio Volunteer Infantry in the same brigade.

3. 21st Missouri Infantry (1st Brigade, 1st Division, Department of the Eastern Frontier): The 21st Missouri was engaged in WIA2 and fought both at The Battle of Raymond and The Battle of Crane during WIA3. Even after returned convalescents, it could not must 90 men and those remaining were transferred to the 16th Missouri (2nd Brigade, 3rd Division).

4. 66th Alabama (1st Brigade, 2nd Division): This regiment lost heavily in WIA2 at the Battles of Tulip Creek and White Fox Tavern and then again to assaults by the 4th and 5th Divisions during WIA3 in the woods at Crane. Remaining men were transferred to the 74th Alabama in the same brigade.

5. 29th South Carolina (3rd Brigade, 2nd Division): The 29th were heroes at the Battle of Tulip Creek, having charged through a gauntlet of fire, captured and brought off one of the guns of Hudson's Battery. At the Battle of Crane, the 29th was already greatly diminished in strength, but helped hold of repeated attacks by the 4th and 5th Division, particularly in the early stages of the battle. Its men were transferred into the 30th South Carolina in the same brigade.

6. 10th Kentucky (1st Brigade, 3rd Division): The 10th Kentucky (CS) lost heavily in attacks across Tulip Creek and close quarters fighting in the trenches near White Fox Tavern in WIA2.
