Civil War Staffs - Brigade to Field Army

[@arfyego0682]

This is something that's been fascinating me more and more as I've been getting back into Civil War history, these staff officers remind me of the behind the scenes, middle management types who are the first to arrive and the last to leave, the ones who run around fretting over the technical screwups and details that are too complicated for the higher bosses to deal with, and who without them it would be total chaos. Real respect for them, it must've been a tough job.

Was there any special badging, color or uniform item that denoted them as staff vs. line officers?

[@CivilWarDigitalDigest]

There was a little bit. We have an episode about Officer insignia for the Union around here. Check that out to get your answers. Enjoy the hunt!

The video claims by July 1861 Congress passed a law allocating the size of a brigade staff. Can you please provide the name of this law or a weblink to the law for further reading/research? Many thanks!
