Confederate Army Taking Shape

The Confederate Army of the Mountains is starting to take shape now. There are several corps that have two divisions each. They will be adding third divisions to most of the corps this week and then re-assessing their resources.  So far the army is rumored to have 50,000 - 60,000 men. As divisions are being formed, Major Generals George Pickett, John B. Hood and Robert Rodes were seen at headquarters.

The Union Army of the South Branch is also organizing into corps, with the cavalry corps largely formed but awaiting officer assignments. The first infantry divisions will be formed this week.
