U.S. LAND FORCES - NOTE ON UNITS/STRENGTHS American China Relief Expedition maximum strength = 4,636 personnel, Sep 1900. General Orders No 12, U.S. China Relief Expedition (4 Sep 1900) lists the following units, organized into two brigades: 1st U.S. Marine Regt 3d U.S. Army Regt (one bn) 5th U.S. Arty Regt (Bttry F) 6th U.S. Cav Regt 9th U.S. Inf Regt 14th U.S. Inf Regt 15th U.S. Inf Regt (HQ + 1 bn) In addition, detachments of Engineer, Signal Corps, and Hospital Corps troops served with the expedition. Total casualties suffered between May 1900 and May 1901 were 33 killed and 178 wounded. See: Heitman, Francis B. Historical Register and Dictionary of the United States Army.... Vol 2. Wash, DC: GPO, 1903. p. 295. RefColl. U.S. War Dept. Annual Reports, 1901. Vol I, Pt 2, p. 63B and Pt 6, p. 516. UA24A1v1pts2&6. For 1899-1901 organization and authorized strengths of the Regular Army's infantry, artillery and cavalry runits, see U.S. War Dept General Order 37 (9 Mar 1899). The actual, present-for-duty strength of the units in China undoubtedly varied from the authorized levels. To learn the number of personnel actually serving with each unit in a given month will require consulting retired unit records in the custody of the National Archives. After the rebellion was suppressed, only Co B, 9th U.S. Inf remained behind in May 1901 as the legation guard. Information on arrivals and departures of units and on total force strength appears in Reports of the Adjutant General, 1900, pp. 7 & 33 (UA24A1.1900v1pt2.) and 1901 pp. 9 & 30 (UA24A1vpt2).
