This collection was provided through the generous donation of George Nafziger to the Combined Arms Research Library. The Nafziger Orders Of Battle Collection contains a compilation of 7985 individual orders of battle from 1600 to 1945. It began with George Nafziger's interest in Napoleonic Wars, and steadily grew to other areas because of the gaming public's interest in these highly detailed historical orders of battle. Sources range from published works to actual archival documents, which represent the largest single source. Nearly all orders of battle break down to the regimental level. The availability of strength figures and artillery equipment varies from period to period. Orders of Battle are available in PDF format using this finding aid. Use the search function to locate the Order of battle by title or file name. The corresponding link will take you to the Order of Battle. The American Civil War portion of the Nafziger Collection contains 812 individual orders of battle from 1861-1865. Brett Schulte scanned the American Civil War orders of battle for George Nafziger. They are available here due to their generosity. Mr. Schulte writes a blog which is available at http://www.brettschulte.net/CWBlog. The American Civil War, 1861-1865 portion of the Nafziger Orders Of Battle Collection is also available for searching on the CARL Digital Library at: http://cgsc.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/landingpage/collection/p15040coll6 updated June 2012
