339th infantry Regiment and 31st Infantry Regiment, U.S. Army. The units took the name of "Polar Bears" after they, and others, served in the Arctic region of Russia during and just after the First World War. They were there during the Russian Revolution that brought the Soviet Union into existance.
The first African American regiment sworn into Federal service during the US Civil War was the 1st Louisiana Native Guards. This infantry regiment was composed of former slaves in Union occupied Louisiana. They were sworn into service September 27, 1862. See the link below.
On paper, an infantry regiment consisted of 10 Companies with 100 men in each for a total of 1000 men. This was a typical size of Union regiments when they were first formed and mustered into service. The Confederate regiments were not quite that size. Many didn't get to be that size as they were rushed into service. After the regiment went off to war, they began to lose men in combat. The regiment was trimmed down even smaller. It was common for a Confederate infantry company to be 40 men. It was common for Confederate regiments to be as small as 250 men during the last 2 years of the war. When the regiment experienced high loss of soldiers and officers, the regiment would be merged or "consolidated" with another regiment. Sometimes it was difficult to know this as they continued to be organized along their old regiment. Thus the 29th Mississippi Regiment and the 30th Mississippi Regiment in General Walthall's Brigade were merged into the 29th/30th Mississippi Regiment soon after the Battle of Missionary Ridge.
