Clark will organize the 4 Co’s named and Buster's Bn into an infantry Regt consolidating any of Busters Co’s if necessary.
Clark is asgd. as Col of this Regt and will recommend thru Roan other field and staff officers.
As soon as Portlock's Ark regiment shall have reported to Gen Roan, Clark's Mo Regt will be transferred to the command of Gen Parsons.
Many of the recruits of Craig, Bowles, Hughes and Bonds’ Co’s had belonged to cavalry units formed by John A. Poindexter, Joseph C. Porter, and Henry Snider north of the Missouri River

*Technically the unit constituted only a Bn. Evidence suggests the existence of two other Co’s near the time of organization, but they cannot definitely be established as part of the regiment.

11/16 officially organized
