For simplicity's sake in this article, the CIWA will be referred to as the CIWA, but technically it goes by another name; the CIWA-AR. CIWA-AR stands for Clinical Institute Withdrawal Assessment - Alcohol, Revised. The assessment has been revised to stay current as treatment for alcohol addiction, alcoholism treatment and withdrawals have been studied over the years.
The Continental Army of the American Revolution was mainly composed of infantry, with very little artillery and cavalry. In 1774, on the eve of the Revolution, some colonies had volunteer mounted units of troop size, but these troops were as much social organizations as military commands.
Two cavalry divisions, the 1st and the 2nd, were proposed to be added to the Regular Army, the 1st being active and the 2nd inactive. Each division contained two cavalry brigades, and each brigade had two regiments, a machine gun squadron, and a headquarters troop.
