Local organizations During the course of the war various local Georgia organizations were created: white men age 16-60 were subject to militia service, the State Troops were organized from September 1861 to May 1862 for local defense, the State Guards served a similar purpose from August 1863 to February 1864, the State Line was assigned to guard the railroads, and the reserves were made up underage boys and men aged 50-60. These local Georgia units became subject to Confederate conscription as the scope of the conscription laws was widened, and Governor Joe Brown clashed frequently with the Richmond government as to whether the state or national authorities should have priority over Georgia's manpower. Many of the local organizations were later turned over to Confederate service.
