United States Army?

edit

Your lede says 'The 18th Missouri Infantry was a United States Army unit organized during the American Civil War.' If it was organized during the war, then presumably it was not part of the small regular army, and should therefore be designated a Union army regiment, not United States Army.

  • Just for the records: It was indeed a volunteer unit of the Union Army and not a regular one, though in the end the U.S. Army contained both the U.S. Volunteers of the Union Army and the Regular Army. But Union Army is the logical thing to put in here; therefore done and therefore solved. ...GELongstreet (talk) 21:03, 6 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
