We will be conducting company level drill along with School of the Soldier, School of the Company, and Skirmish Drill. (With a little early war confusion added!) This is the event to bring your A-frame tents and set up along the company street. The event “feel” is similar to the “Return to the Ranks” event from 2005. Robby Mitchell has compiled some GREAT research regarding this company. The basic kit guidelines are civilian clothing or gray military frock coats. Kepis or slouch hats with black pre war or early war accouterments only! Bring your smoothbore musket! Bring your flintlock musket! If you do not have either of these a proper rifle musket is fine. This is the event to “stump” for an NCO position too!! Step up and deliver a Fire Breathing Secessery Speech! This is going to be a great early fall event!!!!

As always the Armory Guards are looking for men who want to experience Civil War living histories and battle enactments in an authentic and a well researched manner. We are primarily a campaign foucsed unit, and AG members have kits for Confederate, Federal, and civilian impressions. We are primarily a Georgia unit, but we do have memebers from the Carolinas, Alabama, Florida, and Tennessee. We are different than many units in the fact that we spread the military leadership roles through the membership base at various events. We welcome new research regarding the ACW and encouarge our memebers to seek out their own information. Our three elected positsions are administrative and event planning in nature. If you want more than the typical battle-fest then the Armory Guards has a place for you. Please contact one of the Armory Guards leadership.
