“Sykes’ Regulars” Honoring
the Proud Heritage and Traditions of the UNITED STATES
ARMY And Those Who Served in its Ranks During the American
Civil War 1861-1865
Our living history group encompasses
the mindset of excellence in drill, discipline, and authenticity.
The strict discipline of the modern unit has afforded
us a proud reputation among the premier Federal units
in the country. The result of this mindset is that the
unit attracts those looking for a better reenacting experience
as well as current and former members of the U.S. military.
Our calendar consists of living history, reenactments
and campaigner events,  primarily
located in the Mid-Atlantic States. The unit is very active
in researching and documenting various aspects of civil
war life, military manuals and unit history.
