Another in our new series of HD videos covering the military history of the United States and various conflicts over the centuries - with a spotlight on the Soldiers who fought for their country.
This installment illustrates and demonstrates the various elements of the United States Army “Casey’s Manual” for Infantry Soldiers - a manual of arms used primarily by the Union Army during the Civil War. The three-part tome was published by the War Department in 1862 as an update to an earlier manual written by William Hardee and now used widely by not only the Union Army but by Confederates as well. In 1862, Hardee was now a Confederate Major General.
This video is an ideal primer and guide for re-enactors on how to properly hold, carry and use the three-band musket during the American Civil War.

These men are drilling properly and their kit looks great. A fine video for new reenactors or chairborne history buffs.
Take a shot every time the announcer says "notice the placement of the left hand"

Hey, it's good to see my old Andersonville roomate Pagano still knows his manual of arms. Hats off to ya from Jonesboro.
I do civil was re-enactments and just became old enough to use a rifle. This was very helpful with learning the basic Manuel of arms.

JKHERPS _ I recommend still getting into it. I was a reenactor for three years before I could pickup the rifle. But I spent that time learning tips from the others guys. And my regiment starts teaching people to shoot at 15, but we can’t use them in combat till 16.

Trepang 412 thank you very very much.
This video is good in that it explains the reasons for the different parts of the Manual of Arms.
Well done and professionally done. Great video for anyone who wants to get into the hobby
Fascinating and well-done video, very informative.
Just discovered this channel. Subbed and will be following. Great work.
I am an Italian re-enactor, I play the role of a Confederate soldier from the American Civil War. Great video, very informative. If you allow me, I'll pass it on to my reenactment group

Will you ever reupload videos taken down before? Like the Civil War Combat series? I wanted more episodes.
One of the best.instructional presentations. Good work, Gentlemen.
NOTICE THE POSITION OF THE RIGHT HAND
Excellent video.
Very fascinating! Almost like little bit of history in real-life!
If the Union soldiers just place their left hand in the correct position during the first battle of Bull Run. The war could have been won on that fateful day.
Well done!!
New drinking game take a shot everytime he says "shoulder arms"
Mostly Correct.. a little bit here and there different from Casey's Tactics. I also own a real 1863 US Regulations (with amendments up to June 23, 1863) and they have commands in there. Slight difference. The Amendments reflect for 1863 Reenactors since the little changes from 1862 Regs relate to most common soldier impressions (like Sky blue Pants, All Officers can wear Mounted Great Coats, Hash marks for service and other items). Pay tables and a wealth of information.
Do a video on scotts manual of arms
This soldier looks like he's seen things.
Good Stuff
Arms port? Since the preparatory command precedes the execution, should the command not be port, arms since arms is the execution command in all other positions?
I am trying to ease into reenacting, though the hardest item to find is the standard Springfield model 1861. On the other hand I am able to get an Enfield model 1853, will Union regiments accept these Enfield's in substitution of the Springfield?

Most units will usually accept '53 enfields. Some of the extremely hardcore units only allow '61 springfields. My personal recommendation is to get a '61 springfield for a more accurate impression. The first thing you should do is get in touch with the unit you wish to join and ask for their advice. Also, dixie gunworks has repro '61 springfields in stock for $995 www.dixiegunworks.com/index/page/product/product_id/8713/category/316/category_chain/312,313,316/product_name/PR1019+1861+SPRINGFIELD+RIFLED+MUSKET

Not sure how he is wearing the "wrong belt" - the corporal is wearing a standard issue NCO belt - silver leaves for NCOs and solid gold for Officers. This type of NCO belt - thought normally reserved for Sergeants - could be worn by a corporal or any NCO.

Move the weapon around your head not your head around the weapon. One of the many things reenactors do that drive vets (by this I mean Marines and Army Infantry) up the damn wall.

Wrong, per the manual. Casey’s Volume 1 School of the Solder paragraph 181. “Incline the head upon the butt, so that the eye may perceive quickly the notch of the hausse,” So the head moves to the piece.?

Not really, black powder shoots pretty smooth due to the lower burn rate. It mainly pushes instead of kicking.

you don't need to, it's just rather unnecessary. That would rarely be used, and when it was, it was used in basic training on how to do the drill. This is just a demonstration of the positions, in a way they would've been actually used. he's not 'tossing the piece about', either. that's the actual way to do it.

I don´t think you know the difference between a rifle and a musket. A musket has a smoothbore barrel. While a rifle has a rifled barrel hence the name rifle. So a rifle musket is like a black white horse. The term rifled musket referred only to muskets that had been produced as a weapon with a smoothsbore barrel and later had it replaced with rifled barrels.

Rifled musket is the correct term for a three banned rifle of the period.
The entire video is about how to handle a SPEAR. At no time is the basic function of the device, as a FIREARM, even mentioned. Video should be "How to move your club from shoulder to shoulder, and attach the pointy bit."

omg DUDE. this was a manual of drill, and the forms of holding the piece. It's not supposed to be used as a firearm in this. There are other videos if you wanna learn how to shoot stuff. It's not a spear, it's a musket, and that's how it would be used. DEAL WITH IT

@TheVisigoth, then let you be surprised. The video mentioned about Hardee's 1855 being the reason Casey's was made because it would be modern to that older version plus as the video stated Hardee went on to fight for the Confederacy so why would the Union use a "rebel's" manual. General Hardee revised his own manual in 1862. So yes the CSA had an official modern manual as well... You may say it was an army of "Jim bobs" as you call it but believe it or not many of the South's high ranking officers and Generals were career soldiers from the US Army before the war as well as West Point graduates just like their Union counterparts. People just assume because the confederacy lost they had a bad military, if anything they lasted as long as they did because of their experience against all odds.
