The result of the proposal was Move; along with 1st United States Sharpshooters, the suggested form appears to be the more common. Cúchullain t/ c 18:19, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
2nd United States Volunteer Sharpshooter Regiment → 2nd United States Sharpshooters – This unit was officially designated as the 2nd United States Sharpshooters. The words 'volunteer' and 'regiment' were never part of the designation. Although the soldiers were 'volunteers', the unit was activated by the U.S. War Department, thus giving the unit Federal Army (regular) status, not a volunteer regiment; as they are created by indivdual states who pledge them to the Union Army. relisted -- Mike Cline ( talk) 13:32, 27 May 2012 (UTC) Wi hooligan ( talk) 15:50, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
