You'll want to add some categories to your draft. I've added one, to show you how it's done. You may be able to think of more. If there is a category for Conferderate Army units (and I feel there should be), I couldn't find it.
I know from bitter experience (i.e. I got it wrong and was told off) not to formally categorise articles in sandbox or draft space. The way to do it is to put an asterisk (*) at the beginning of the line as I have done, which suppresses it. Once the article is in mainspace, it can and should be deleted.

- It looks like the draft was somehow deleted, it is not showing anything written on the history of it currently Squogg (talk) 19:34, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
- Nevermind; I went to the wrong page, my bad. Squogg (talk) 19:35, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
