The 2nd Arkansas Consolidated Infantry (1864–1865) was a Confederate Army infantry regiment during the American Civil War. The regiment is separate from and has no connection with the 2nd Arkansas Infantry Regiment which served in the Confederate Army of Tennessee and is also separate from the 2nd Regiment, Arkansas State Troops, which participated in the Battle of Wilson's Creek. == Organization == In September 1864, the remnants of several Arkansas Infantry Regiments in the Trans-Mississippi Department were consolidated. There is some evidence that this consolidation may have occurred as a field consolidation as early as May 1864.〔 The 2nd Arkansas Consolidated Infantry Regiment was created by combining the following depleted units:〔 : *12th Arkansas Infantry Regiment : *18th Arkansas Infantry Regiment : *23rd Arkansas Infantry Regiment : *8th Arkansas Infantry Battalion : *12th Arkansas Infantry Battalion Col. Thomas J. Reid, Jr. was selected to command the new consolidate regiment. All of these regiments had been captured at either the Siege of Vicksburg or Port Hudson and exchanged back in Arkansas.〔 The consolidated regiment was assigned along with the 1st Arkansas Consolidated Infantry Regiment (Trans-Mississippi) and 3rd Arkansas Consolidated Infantry Regiments to the 2nd (McNair’s) Arkansas Brigade, 1st (Churchill’s) Arkansas Division, 2nd Corps, Trans-Mississippi Department, from September 1864 to May 1865. Because of the lack of subsistence or forage in the devastated State, all of the infantry brigades were moved to camps around Marshall, Texas, where they remained inactive for the rest of the war.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2nd Arkansas Consolidated Infantry Regiment」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
