Uniform

Coat

Preferred — Georgia State Jacket

The Georgia State Jacket is strongly encouraged

The jacket should feature the proper Georgia state trim:

Accepted — Confederate Frock Coat

An appropriately constructed frock coat of domestic cloth is acceptable.

An appropriate grey or brown domestic cloth jacket without trim is acceptable.

The overall regimental appearance should reflect a believable mixture of Georgia state and Confederate clothing rather than every soldier wearing an identical jacket.

---

Trousers

Preferred

Appropriate civilian or military-style trousers constructed from domestic cloth.

Grey, brown, and other documented period shades and materials are appropriate.

Especially Encouraged — Georgia Relief Hospital Trousers

Properly researched and constructed Georgia Relief Hospital trousers are particularly encouraged within the impression.

Captured or otherwise acquired Federal trousers are acceptable in limited numbers.

Federal trousers should provide natural variation within the ranks rather than becoming the predominant trouser style.

Accepted — Federal Issue Shirt

Appropriate captured or acquired Federal issue shirts are acceptable.

Equipment

LIGHT MARCHING ORDER

The Georgia Regiment will operate in light marching order when entering the immersive area.

Participants should carefully consider what a Confederate infantryman several weeks into the Maryland Campaign would realistically still be carrying.

The objective is not to demonstrate how much period equipment an individual owns.

Carry what the soldier needs.

Leave unnecessary baggage behind.

---

Baggage

Blanket

Accepted

• Appropriate civilian blanket
• Appropriate period coverlet
• Carpet blanket
• Federal issue blanket

Civilian blankets and coverlets must represent documented period styles and construction.

Modern quilts or items that merely appear "old fashioned" are not appropriate substitutes for documented period bedding.

Ground Cloth

Accepted — Federal Ground Cloth or painted ground cloth

Appropriate captured Federal ground cloths are acceptable.

---

Knapsack

Accepted

• Appropriate U.S. Army knapsack
• Appropriate Confederate knapsack

All knapsacks must represent patterns appropriate to 1862.

Participants are encouraged to avoid overpacking. Even when the knapsack itself is correct, its contents should remain consistent with the regiment's light marching order.

---

Haversack

Accepted

• Confederate haversack
• U.S. Army haversack

A good mixture of Confederate and Federal haversacks is desired throughout the regiment.

Confederate haversacks must be based upon original examples and appropriate to 1862.

Examples include:

• Roller-buckle belt
• Georgia frame-buckle belt
• Appropriate brass-plate belt
• Double-billet belt
  

Accepted — Appropriate U.S. Army Belt

Captured Federal equipment is acceptable and should contribute naturally to the overall mixture within the regiment.

---

Cartridge Box

Appropriate Confederate or Federal cartridge boxes dating to 1862 or earlier are acceptable.

The regiment should contain a natural mixture rather than every participant carrying identical accoutrements.

---

Cap Box

Appropriate Confederate or Federal cap boxes are acceptable.

---

Bayonet Scabbard

Appropriate Confederate or early-war Federal bayonet scabbards are acceptable.

Strongly discouraged — Seven-Rivet Federal Bayonet Scabbard

All scabbards must otherwise be appropriate to 1862 and compatible with the participant's weapon and bayonet.

---

Weapons shall be:

• Clean
• Safe
• Properly functioning
• Mechanically sound

An appropriate Pattern 1853 Enfield is also acceptable.

Only officers may carry a pistol and only one per.

All arms must otherwise comply with HHV and regimental safety requirements.

---

Campaign Appearance

The Georgia Regiment should present the appearance of Confederate infantry well into the Maryland Campaign of 1862.

This is not intended to be a regiment of identical jackets, matching trousers, and perfectly standardized equipment.

Instead, the ranks should demonstrate a historically believable mixture of:

• Georgia state clothing
• Confederate military clothing
• Civilian clothing
• Captured Federal clothing
• Confederate equipment
• Captured Federal equipment

Participants are encouraged to use:

• Naturally faded garments
• Worn jean cloth
• Patched or repaired clothing
• Frayed cuffs and hems
• Worn trousers
• Broken-in footwear
• Weathered headgear
• Period field repairs
• Equipment showing genuine use

Artificially destroying good clothing or equipment simply to create wear is unnecessary.

Naturally worn equipment is always preferable.

---

Modern Items

Modern items shall not be visible within the historical area.

The following are prohibited from view:

• Modern eyeglasses
• Modern beverage or food containers
• Cell phones
• Modern tobacco products or packaging
• Modern watches
• Modern clothing
• Modern footwear
• Other obviously modern personal items

Required modern medications may be carried but must be completely concealed within appropriate period containers or otherwise hidden from view.

---

Grooming & Personal Appearance

Appropriate period grooming standards are required.

The following are not acceptable when visible:

• Obviously modern hairstyles
• Ponytails or other clearly modern hair arrangements
• Visible modern tattoos
• Modern jewelry
• Modern clothing or accessories

Participants with tattoos that would otherwise be visible must keep them appropriately covered throughout the historical portions of the event.

---

The Standard

The Georgia Regiment should immediately communicate the appearance of Confederate infantry on active campaign in September 1862.

Georgia State Jackets are strongly encouraged.
Osnaburg issue shirts should be common.
Domestic-cloth trousers should predominate.
Civilian hats and domestic-cloth kepis are appropriate.
Confederate and captured Federal equipment should be naturally intermixed.
.69-caliber muskets should predominate.
Baggage should be light.

The objective is not absolute uniformity.

It is to create a regiment whose individual variations combine into a convincing portrayal of Georgia soldiers of the Army of Northern Virginia marching and fighting through Maryland in September 1862.
