+st Mobile Volunteers, Local Defense Troops [also called Mobile Guards or Mobile Regiment] was organized in December, 1861, at Mobile, Alabama. The unit was ordered to disband on January 25, 1865. However, it seems that a remnant served at Spanish Fort and Fort Blakely, and when Mobile was evacuated on April 12, the few remaining men did disband.&nbsp;<ref>National Park Service, [http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/ The Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System], (accessed 6 December 2010).</ref>
