To become a member unit of the Palmetto Battalion, a group must have five members present at three events during the past year before it can be voted on. The new unit will then be given assignment to a company by the Battalion staff. The unit remains a unit as long as one member remains a battalion member, but when it has less than five active members, the unit has no vote on staff. To become an infantry company is more difficult than becoming a unit. First the company must be voted to be given probationary status by the general membership, then it has to go through a year’s probation where the company has to field 25 muskets (not including officers and 1st sergeants) at five events. If this requirement is not made during the year, then the company ceases to exist within the Battalion. If it is met, then the Battalion’s general membership votes as to whether the company will be established as a permanent company.
