Unit History

The Fifth Texas Infantry Regiment was organized by the Confederate War Department in Richmond, Virginia, in October 1861. The men of the Fifth Texas Infantry were recruited primarily from the Texas counties of Colorado, Harris, Jefferson, Leon, Liberty, Milam, Montgomery, Polk, Trinity, Walker, and Washington. The unit was organized into ten companies. These companies had nicknames attached to them to denote their area of origin. For example, Company A was known as the Bayou City Guards, Company C as the Leon Hunters, Company D as the Waverly Confederates, Company E as the Dixie Blues, Company F as the Invincible, Company G as the Milam County Grays, Company H as the Texas Polk Rifles, Company I as the Texas Aides, and Company K as the Polk County Flying Artillery.

Along with the First and Fourth Texas Infantry regiments, the Fifth Texas Infantry made up the famous Hood's Texas Brigade of Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. As part of Hood's Texas Brigade, the unit served under generals John Bell Hood, Jerome B. Robertson, and John Gregg. The Fifth Texas's original commander was Col. James J. Archer. The unit had numerous field officers during the war. These officers included: Walter B. Botts (major, lieutenant colonel), King Bryan (major, lieutenant colonel), Robert M. Powell (major, lieutenant colonel, colonel), Paul J. Quattlebaum (major), Jerome B. Robertson (lieutenant colonel and colonel before he became commanding general), Jefferson C. Rogers (major), John C. Upton (major, lieutenant colonel), and David M. Whaley (major).

The Fifth Texas participated in nearly every campaign waged by the Army of Northern Virginia. It saw its first action on May 7, 1862, in an engagement at West Point, Virginia. Over the course of 1862, the unit participated in numerous skirmishes and actions, including the major battles of Seven Pines, Seven Days, Second Manassas, Antietam, and Fredericksburg. On June 3, 1862, after the Seven Days battles, Col. James J. Archer was promoted to the rank of brigadier general and ordered to command a brigade of Tennessee troops. As a result, Jerome B. Robertson was promoted to the rank of colonel and took over command of the Fifth Texas. However, following the battle of Antietam, General Hood was promoted to the rank of major general. To fill the vacancy left by Hood, Robertson was promoted to brigadier general and assumed command of the brigade which he held until late summer of 1863. Thus, command of the Fifth Texas passed to Robert M. Powell.

In 1863 the Fifth Texas was involved in various actions in Virginia, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Tennessee. It participated in the major battles of that year including Gettysburg where, of the unit's 409 effectives engaged, more than half became casualties. The Fifth Texas also participated in actions in the Western Theater as part of Gen. James Longstreet's Corps. While there, the unit was involved in the battle of Chickamauga, the siege of Chattanooga, and the siege of Knoxville. The Fifth Texas remained in the Western Theater through January 1864, after which it returned to Northern Virginia.

In Virginia, the Fifth Texas participated in actions against Ulysses S. Grant's Overland campaign of 1864. The unit fought in the battles of Wilderness, Spotsylvania, and Cold Harbor. As the Union Army encircled Richmond and Peters burg, the Fifth Texas was engaged in operations in defense of those two cities. When the defense of the Confederate capital broke down, the Fifth Texas—as part of the Army of Northern Virginia—retreated west and took part in the Appomattox campaign that resulted in the surrender of Lee's forces at Appomattox Courthouse, Virginia, on April 9, 1865. The unit surrendered 12 officers and 149 men at Appomattox. In spite of its low numbers, the Fifth Texas was the largest unit of the Texas Brigade to surrender its arms.

Great look on WD , 5th Tx was handed over to another leader. These salty sailors are trying to hold 5th tx hostage by alt dumping and holding the rest of the companies hostage. Devs went in once and cleared it within a Hour we watched again as even unit filled up with alts. go ahead and argue that fact that they are real please because there are more members in those companies than what WD brings to a event. Again great look on drax and james pulling there shit in the community to screw over other units. https://www.warofrightsforum.com/showthread.php?6284-Cheating-Company-Tool-to-Muster-Companies/page3&p=96940 Might wanna read that forum linked above.1245212453

Firstly Thank you for the bump to this thread.

Secondly this is 1st battalion 5th TX not 5th TX infantry regiment (HD's 5th TX) so my resignation has no bearing in this discussion. Third alt use is not prohibited for mustering companies especially when it is done to allow human players time to slowly fill in the company as they learn how to use the company tool website ( which is great at its job but not very user friendly), I invite you to take a look around the company tool and you will find many companies full of bots or at least half mustered with bots. Everyone on my roster is a real player and is in either already in B or G CO or will be enlisting shortly. The other companies are mustered with human accounts ( some being alts ) aswell just from other WD members to insure that our battalion has growing room. We purposely left K company alone as we only ever plan to grow to 5-6 companies. lastly why are you talking for them ( HD- 5th TX ) or are you trying act like drax the man you so openly despise and be the central figurehead of your organization because if so I hope you see the hypocrisy there.

Thank you for openly admitting faking numbers and that you were the one on 3/8/21 to alt dump or is it just coincidence? Is this the level WD wants to lower the bar too? either way with your 4 new companies in WD yall should be fulling a full side now with WD existing 33 and your 40 even tho they may not be on the company tool yet how bout we play this weekend , already got a match how bout the weekend after that? Lets see these numbers your talking about. All I am the HD is the person that speaks for the units because they prefer to play the game not have to deal with these childish game of thrones yall like to play. See you this weekend or the next ~ Please make me eat my words and see you this weekend or the next
