    And, by the way, a general leads a brigade, not a regiment, as well as "Lieutenant General" is the highest ranking general.

    And as I understand it, the British were more interested in the Confederacy in 1862.

    oh btw Official ranks go like this:
    Captain
    1st Lieutenant
    2nd Lieutenant
    3rd lieutenant (technically a 2nd Lieutenant but some people say 3rd)

    1st Sergeant
    Sergeant
    Coropral
    Private
    Recruit (some people have this as a rank but it's not needed)
    Musician 2
    Musician 1

    I am not sure if Musician is a rank or if the musicians would have been a normal rank like a Private and just had the role of Musician but I'm pretty sure I am right. Overall you have 100 men max in a company (5 minimum), And 1 thousand in a regiment (10 companies). And around 500 men/5 companies in a battalion(?).

    There is also (or used to be anyway) a program in the US Army called the Third Lieutenant Program. I sends (or sent anyway) senior cadets who are 1 year out from graduation from USMA out to units in the Army during the summer months to gain actual experience in a regular unit, usually of their prospective branch. They wear the USMA Cadet SSI and insignia except for a silver bar with a black stripe down the long axis (not unlike the new CW5 insignia).
