The Confederate States Marine
Corps (CSMC), a branch of the
Confederate States Navy, was
established by an act of the
Congress of the Confederate
States on March 16, 1861. The
CSMC's manpower was initially
authorized at 45 officers and
944 enlisted men, and was
increased on September 24,
1862 to 1026 enlisted men. The
organization of the corps began
at Montgomery, Alabama and
was completed at Richmond,
Virginia when the capital of the Confederate States
of America was moved to that location. The CSMC
headquarters and main training facilities remained
in Richmond, Virginia throughout the war, located
at Camp Beall on Drewry's Bull and at the Gosport
Shipyard in Norfolk, Virginia.
