I am trying to establish the number of wagons typically assigned to a Confederate regiment during the Gettysburg campaign, or over the course of the war for that matter. The book, Voices from Company D, about the 5th Alabama Regiment, indicates that on 25 July 1861 orders were promulgated authorizing one wagon for 100 men. Attrition in the ranks through disease and battle casualties likely reduced the number of wagons as the war progressed. During the Gettysburg campaign, it appears that a typical regiment had one wagon reserved for the medical staff, one wagon to carry cooking utensils, and at least one wagon to carry knapsacks and extra clothing for the men. A few entrenching tools (shovels, axes, etc.) were often carried as well. Major A. S. Van de Graaff of the 5th Alabama Battalion states that on the retreat from Gettysburg, two wagons from each regiment were sent back loaded with wounded, so I am guessing these two wagons would usually carry provisions or forage and were generally empty and available for use after the battle. Altogether it suggests a normal march complement of about five wagons per regiment (an average size of 250-300 men) in the Army of Northern Virginia as of July 1863. (This does not include the subsistence, ambulance, ammunition and other wagon trains found at the brigade, division and corps levels.) In April 1864, after the usual extra baggage was sent off at the beginning of the campaign season, transportation was reduced to just three wagons per regiment - one for the medical staff and quartermaster's use, one for company officers, and one carrying cooking utensils for the men. Teamsters from the regiment's ranks would be assigned to drive these wagons, which seem to have been mainly six mule (or horse) driven vehicles. Both armies to have had roughly the same number of regimental wagons by mid-1863. George Hugunin of the 147th NY states that in autumn 1863, the regiment was permitted only three six-mule teams and got along fine, down from 31 teams total the year before! Additional information and insights would be appreciated, thanks.
