	Civil War Artillery - Drill
		Field artillery was commonly referred to as light artillery, and was of two different types: mounted artillery, in which only the drivers and officers were mounted, and horse artillery, in which all of the men were horsed.
		There was a great deal of experimentation with the organization of the artillery, but the tendency in the course of the War was to concentrate the firepower at the divisional level, with several batteries (usually called a battalion in the Confederate army and a brigade by the Federals) under the command of a field officer.
		Red was the color for the artillery, corresponding to the use of light blue for the infantry and yellow for the cavalry.

	The Field Artillery System
		In an effective artillery system batteries do not have to be transferred between commanders for their firepower to be available to them.

		The basic building block of artillery is the battery with between 2 and 8 guns, which the British sub-divided into sections of 2 and troops of 4 guns.
