The Armies at Gettysburg > The Army of the Potomac
Organization of the 1st corps of the Federal Army of the Potomac during the Civil War Battle of Gettysburg, July 1-3, 1863.
The 1st Corps had 34 infantry regiments and 5 artillery batteries organized into 3 divisions of two or three brigades each and an artillery brigade.
At the beginning of the battle General Reynolds had been given temporary command of the left wing of the army, which included the the 1st as well as the 3rd and 11th Corps. General Doubleday took temporary command of 1st Corps. After Reynolds was killed Doubleday continued to command the 1st Corps thoughout July 1. Meade transferred General Newton to command the 1st Corps early on July 2, returning Doubleday to the command of his division and earning his undying hatred.
