Following the bombardment of Fort Sumter in Charleston
Harbor, South Carolina, on April 15, 1861, President
Abraham Lincoln appealed for 75,000 volunteers to
fight for the Union Cause. Pennsylvania, one of the
states most supportive of the Lincoln administration,
responded overwhelmingly with hundreds of patriotic
men dedicated to preserving their country. A high
number of these volunteers came from Union County.
One company immediately left for Harrisburg, the State
Capitol, in answer to the President's urgent summons;
the second unit soon followed. This was the first of many calls the men of Union County answered to save the fragmented nation. When the North was shocked by defeat in the First Battle of Bull Run at Manassas, Virginia, on July 21, 1861, five Union County companies organized for military action. The Pennsylvania Reserve Volunteer Corps went into Federal service a few days later. The unsuccessful first attempt to capture Richmond in the spring and early summer prompted a call for additional troops on July 7, 1862. Three companies from Union

Maryland Civil War Research
Where to Begin
The best way to begin your search is to play 20 questions with your elderly relatives about what they know of the last several generations. Search the house for images, documents, anything that might give you clues to the past. If you are not familiar with how to research Civil War regiments, I suggest that you find a copy of Tracing Your Civil War Ancestor by Bertram Hawthorne Groene, ISBN:0-345-36192-X. This book is readable and includes much useful information. The National Archive's Civil War Records Tutorial includes a thorough explanation of the kinds of information in their collections. These sources will give you an idea of what information is available and what types of clues to look for. At a minimum there are several pieces of information that you need to begin your search: a name, unit number, place of residence, dates, and date/place of death. You need not have all of these. But the more information you have the easier you search will be. Each of these items can help you locate clues to your ancestor's service. Research Plan
  • Gather as much information as you can from documents, photos, relics, and relatives.

    Program Summary: The Union of the Committees of Soldiers' Mothers of Russia (UCSMR; known before 1998 as the Committee of Soldiers' Mothers of Russia) is a human rights NGO created in 1989 to protect the human rights of draftees, soldiers, and their parents. The strategic goals of the UCSMR are to develop civil society and civil control over professional armed forces. The Soldiers' Mothers work for the immediate abolishment of obligatory conscription. The focus of UCSMR's human rights activities includes dealing with individual complaints (personal and written) on human rights violations in the armed forces; organizing human rights education of draftees and their parents; and organizing consultations with the regional Soldiers Mothers' branches to promote peaceful activities. Although the Soldiers Mothers' organization is mostly known in connection with their peaceful activities during Chechen wars of 1994-1996 and 1999, the Committees of Soldiers' Mothers has actively worked for and towards peace since 1989, long before the first Chechen war (Baku, Tbilisi, Tadzhikistan, Nagorno-Karabakh, etc.).

    Gettysburg National Military Park Kidzpage
    Morning roll call by Charles Reed
    Understanding the terms used for military organizations can be just as difficult as remembering who fought the Battle of Gettysburg, so the historian must understand the names for military units and how the armies were organized. Civil War armies were organized according to military manuals written long before the first shot was fired. Remarkably, the same officer wrote the manual for both sides! William J. Hardee wrote his book on infantry tactics in the 1850's and then re-wrote the manual for Confederate use when he resigned from the United States Army and joined the Confederacy. The War Departments of North and South made several adjustments to their respective military departments and army organizations throughout the war, but the basic organization remained the same. The two armies that fought at Gettysburg were organized in a similar fashion and had a similar command structure. The "Army of the Potomac" was the primary Union army in the eastern theater of the war and the "Army of Northern Virginia" was the main Confederate force.

    Illinois Infantry, Cavalry, and Artillery Units
    Illinois responded to President Lincoln's first call for troops with the 7th-12th Infantry (as well as Artillery and Cavalry). Regiments were numbered in order of formation, beginning with 7. In respect for 6 Regiments that served from Illinois in the Mexican War, 1 through 6 were not used. Regiments 7-12 were enrolled twice, once for 3 months, then for 3 years. Most of the rest were enrolled for three years, except for 67-71 (for 3 months in mid-1862, primarily for guard duty in Illinois), 132-143 and 145 (in 1863-1864 for 100 day guard duty at forts within Union occupied Confederate territory) and 144 and 146-156 (1 year duty). By August of 1861, Illinois had enrolled men in the 7th through 55th Infantry Regiments. Some men had difficulting getting into Illinois Regiments and joined Regiments from other states. By the end of August 1862, Regiment Numbers through 116 had been or were forming. Just one month later, the number was up to the 129th. By late November 1862, after the harvest season, Illinois had 125 Infantry Regiments, 16 Cavalry, and 30 Artillery batteries.

    May 23, 2002 Printer-Friendly Version The European Union has since the Petersburg meeting in 1992 been slowly moving toward a military capability, mainly focused upon anticipated peacekeeping missions. Amid intense debate over whether an EU military force was a justifiable move, the process gather steam after its 1999 launch and was declared operational at the Laeken European Council in late 2001. However, due to issues with available forces and funds, as well as continued political questions regarding relations with NATO, it remains unclear when and how such a force might ever be used.
    Background As part of the launch of its new European Security and Defense Policy (ESDP), the 15-nation European Union adopted a policy target, the ‘Headline Goal’ at Helsinki in December 1999. The European Union wanted to increase its capability to carry out the ‘Petersberg tasks’ of humanitarian and rescue missions, peacekeeping, and tasks of combat forces in crisis management, including peacemaking. Under this plan, the European Union pledged by the year 2003 to be able to deploy rapidly and then sustain forces capable of the full range of Petersberg tasks, including the most demanding, in operations up to corps level (up to 15 brigades or 50,000-60,000 persons).

    Ukrainians in World War II Military Formations: An Overview
    by
    Peter J. Potichnyj
    There is a great deal of confusion about the behaviour of Ukrainians during 1939-45, and it is not limited to non-Ukrainians. Forty years after World War II, some Ukrainians are themselves unclear on issues that affected them four decades ago and have influenced their thinking to this day. The common view of the war is that of an enormous struggle between the forces of good and evil, in which the former triumphed. It follows from this view that the nations and individuals who were not on the side of the Allies (except, of course, for the neutral countries) must have been on the side of the Axis powers or, worse still, on the side of the Nazis. Whatever does not fit this neat pattern is either overlooked or misunderstood, and so it has been with the present debate over collaboration and war criminality among Ukrainians. During World War II Ukrainians collaborated with all sides, for two main reasons. First, as one of the world's largest national groups without a sovereign state, Ukrainians did not control their destiny at a crucial time in world history. Second, not unlike Jews, Ukrainians were - and still are - scattered throughout the world; thus in 1939-45 they could be found in all kinds of places and situations. Since the war's fiercest battles were on Ukrainian territory, it is not surprising that Ukrainians fought in various armies and military formations, in large numbers and on all fronts. In the Soviet army alone were 4.5 million citizens of Ukraine. According to Soviet statistics, 409,668 Ukrainians were awarded medals for bravery in the war; 961 became heroes of the Soviet Union; and 60 per cent of the 250,000-strong Soviet partisan force in Ukraine was Ukrainian.
