The Georgia Volunteer Battalion was

formed with the intent of getting back to

the basics of Civil War Reenacting. We

have seen so many units fall apart because

power struggles and internal politics

became apparant. The GVB was formed

by several founding units with the express

intent of avoiding all politics and battalion

interference in company level affairs. The

initial GVB was formed under the

command and tutelage of Colonel H.L.

Haygood, and has thrived since then. The

initial group of a few units has grown into

a cohesive entity of dozens of  stable

and well-led fighting companies.  The

GVB is currently the second battalion,

Department of the Gulf under General Tom

Jessee as well
