Georgia Legions
A legion is usually composed of artillery, cavalry, and infantry companies.  It is in essence a small army.  T.R.R. Cobb tried to carry the concept of a legion to its logical end.  Originally Cobb's legion was composed of a cavalry battalion and an infantry battalion.  In order to make Cobb's Legion a true legion he had the Troup Artillery attached to Cobb's Legion, but he learned a hard lesson.  An army can only move as rapidly as its slowest unit.  This meant that Cobb's Legion moved like an artillery unit.  To rectify the situation he had the artillery transferred out of his legion.  In Georgia the usual composition of a legion was a battalion of cavalry and a battalion of infantry.

Cobb's Legion, Georgia Volunteers
		Col. Thomas Reade Rootes Cobb
Artillery
	Troup Artillery	Marcellus Stanley Henry H. Carlton	Clarke
This company was mustered into service as a part of the 2nd Regiment Georgia Infantry. It appears to have been relieved from duty with the regiment and made an independent company. It was later transferred to Cobb's Georgia Legion by order of the Secretary of War around 13-15 December 1861. It was later relieved from duty from this command and subsequently was attached to Cabell's Battalion, Artillery, which was a temporary organization composed of batteries from several States.
Cavalry		Col. Pierce Manning B. Young Col. Gilbert J. Wright
The infantry and cavalry battalions were ordered to be seperated into distinct organizations and raised to regimental strength by S.O.#87 (10 April 1863).  It doesn't appear that this order was carried out although the cavalry battalion was increased to regimental strength.  S.O.#161 (11 July 1864) directed the cavalry regiment was to be designated the 9th Regiment Georgia Volunteer Cavalry; However, it appears that the cavalry continued to serve as a part of Cobb's Legion without change of designation.
