Reserve regiments were a different category than the
State Guard. The Reserve term designates a force that
was raised under a specific call of the governor for 6-
months' troops for Aug. 63 to Feb 64. They were full-
time soldiers for the duration (from enlistment), but
were limited by age (young or old) and/or infirmity to
performing limited tasks: prison camp guards, local
security forces, hunting deserters/draft dodgers,
combatting cavalry raids, supplementing CSA regiments
in their home states, etc. (Major Dana Mangham provided
this description)
