Here's the best I can find in my house:
After Nashville the Army of Tennessee was shattered, retreating in groups of 15 or 20. Hood finds very little unit cohesion. Those units that can be considered "together" are used for the rear guard along with Forrest's "critter cavalry".

12/20/64 Hood assigns the remnants of 8 brigades (1,920 effectives) to Walthall under four commanders (unnamed in my book, except Reynolds, who commands his and Ector's brigades).
Brigades are Ector's, Featherston's, Maney's, Palmer's, Quarles, Reynold's, Smith's, Strahl's.

He footnotes this information as being from "Hood's Tennessee Campaign" by Sanders pp. 245,246

Happy Hunting!
