By 1776 a typical infantry regiment had a regimental staff and eight companies. Along with three field officers and six staff officers, the regimental staff included four staff NCOs: a sergeant major, a quartermaster sergeant, and two lead musicians (a drum major and a fife major). 2 people found this useful.
For all practical purposes, the company, recruited at an original strength of approximately 100 men, was the building block of both Union and Confederate armies. Ten companies (occasionally as many as twelve) usually comprised an infantry regiment, which had a nominal strength of around 1,000 officers and men.
