1st maryland Regiment cannot be a Continental Army Regiment. All Continental Army Regiments follow the same policy that the US Army has continued to this day. The designation "1st Maryland Regiment" indicates a Maryland Army national Guard unit from the period before the national Guard units achieved universal Federal Recognition and were renumbered permanently in the US Army series of numbers.

The 1st Maryland Regiment was a Continental Army regiment and not a state militia/ National Guard unit. This regiment was not given a Continental # like the regiments from New England but still served in the Continental Army and not the Maryland militia. Marc29th 19:29, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

This regiment was raised by the state of Maryland and it then joined the continental army as part of the Maryland Line. Each state had a quota of regiments it needed to provide for service with the continental army. The number would change as the needs of the continental army changed each year of the war. The Militia regiment were commanded by the states themselves and only fought with the Continental Army as the State themselves saw fit. George Washington could not command these militia regiments unless the states agreed to it. But the 1st Maryland regiment was always under his control. I hope I've explaned a little better the system during the Rev. War. Marc29th 19:44, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

see List of Continental Forces in the American Revolutionary War for all the State lines and also militia units that I have found references too. Marc29th 20:05, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
