Officer Lists

Originally the Veteran Reserve Corps was called the "Invalid Corps", which was "authorized by the Adjutant General's Office, General Order 105, April 28, 1963." The Corps "was to consist of companies and, if desirable, of battalions."

"The companies were to be made up of:

1.   Officers and enlisted men of commands in the field who, because of wounds or service-connected disease were unfit for duty in field service, but were capable of effective garrison or light duty;

2.   Officers and enlisted men still in service and on the rolls, who were absent from duty in hospital or convalescent camps or who were otherwise under the control of medical officers; and

3.   Officers and enlisted men who had been honorably discharged because of wounds or disease and who wanted to reenter the service."

"The Invalid Corps was renamed the 'Veteran Reserve Corps' by order of the Adjutant General's Office General Order 111, dated March 18, 1864."1
