Notes:
²Casualty figures appear as officially reported, and are thus subject to minor inaccuracies. Return
³Regiments, battalions, and batteries are listed individually to credit all units represented on the field of battle. By March 1865 many of these depleted and campaign-weary entities were consolidated, with some brigades having two or more units combined under a single commander. Thus Bentonville-specific command structures at the regimental level cannot be determined in every case. Return
