The 24th Georgia was organized in late June and early July, 1861. The unit was officially mustered into Confederate service on August 24, 1861. Ten companies were organized into the Twenty-Fourth Georgia Infantry.

Company County Nickname
"A" Banks County Independent Volunteers
"B" Hart County
"C" White County White County Marksmen

Soon after being mustered into Confederate service the regiment was moved to Lynchburg, Virginia. Within a week of arriving there, however, it was ordered to Goldsborough, North Carolina. There it joined the Department of North Carolina. The unit remained there until early in 1862. Returning to Virginia, the unit was placed in the Army of Northern Virginia. It served in that Army until the summer of 1863. At that time it was moved to Georgia where it served in the Army of Tennessee. It next saw service in the Department of East Tennessee. In the spring of 1864 the regiment returned to the Army of Northern Virginia, remaining in that Army until mid-summer, 1864. It then moved to the Shenandoah Valley where it served in the Army of the Valley District. Finally, in December, 1864, the unit returned to the Army of Northern Virginia, serving in that Army for the remainder of the War.

A great deal of this information was obtained from Tom Brown of SCV Camp 935 "Currahee Rangers Company "H", 24th Georgia" http://24thga.com/
