That is the group I needed to confirm. I have noticed a lot of misinformation and I also looked at the CSR cards to confirm. This is the group that is State Guard and not to be confused with the 16th Cavalry Battalion commanded by a Lieutenant Colonel F.M. Nix. The 16th Cavalry Battalion (State Guard) did not budge out of their home area or the deserters that made it up would have deserted again.

I have always loved Georgia organizations.
