The Confederate Battalion of the Washington Civil War Association takes pride in honoring tradition. Our Battalion is commonly referred to as Adams Legion, to honor the first commander of the battalion. The forces that comprise Adams legion represent all theaters of the war and were never historically together.

​

Currently, Adams Legion is comprised of infantry companies, artillery battery, and mounted and dismounted cavalry. As well as the Citadel which was and still is a military college in South Carolina.​

​

Adams Legion strives to present the public with as accurate as possible a representation of a military camp, be that a garrison impression or on the campaign. This impression is governed by Casey's Drill manual. Military customs and courtesies are followed as the daily schedule unfolds, highlighting the activities that comprised a soldier's life. This starts at 6:00 AM with a bugle call as well as the even 10:00 PM call of "taps"

All impressions of a Military nature are welcome and encouraged. Every attempt is made to utilize each unit in a manner consistent with its traditional function within the army.
