The Confederate States Marine Corps (CSMC), a branch of the Confederate States Navy, was established by an act of the Congress of the Confederate States on March 16, 1861. The CSMC's manpower was initially authorized at 45 officers and 944 enlisted men, and was increased on September 24, 1862 to 1026 enlisted men. The organization of the corps began at Montgomery, Alabama, and was completed at Richmond, Virginia, when the capital of the Confederate States of America was moved to that location. The CSMC headquarters and main training facilities remained in Richmond, Virginia throughout the war, located at Camp Beall on Drewry's Bluff and at the Gosport Shipyard in Norfolk, Virginia.

Rank Structure
Within the 88th, We have a simple rank structure that is based on the Original Napoleonic British Ranks, we try to balance the number of Enlisted, NCO's and Officers, giving them all selected objectives in a battle.
Organisation of the Company
The 88th always operates in Double-Rank with the NCO's and officers each in command of two different platoons, With two corporals at the back keeping the line straight and watching the flank.
When firing in separate platoons the captain and the front Lieutenant will give firing commands, while the Major and the secondary Lieutenant will watch the line and keep the men in order.
When marching in column, the entire line, turns 90 Degrees, and the closest corporal, moves up to the Colonel and leads the rank adjacent to him, while the other moves further up the line, keeping it straight and guiding it.
