Consolidations in the Army of the Tennessee

I have been trying to piece together the consolidations in Govan's Brigade during the Franklin-Nashville Campaign.

I think I understand that the 1st/15h, 5th/13th and 2nd/24 Arkansas Regiments had been consolidated into one regiment, which was Commanded by Colonel Peter Green of the 5th/13th (specifically of the 5th).

I think that the following regiments maintained their seperate idenity?

6th & 7th Arkansas -- CPT J.T. Robinson
8th & 19th Arkansas -- MAJ D.H. Hamiter
5th & 3rd Confederate -- LTC E.A. Howell

I found the following post frm 2004 on this subject...
